Ep 19. The Gift of the Woody

In Cheers season 7 episode 19, titled The Gift of the Woody, the focus is on Woody as the title implies. The episode opens with Woody’s relationship with his fiancée Kelly, which has been going well. However, Woody begins to feel insecure about his lack of finances compared to Kelly’s family. As Kelly comes from a wealthy family, Woody feels embarrassed when he can’t contribute much to their expenses.

Things take a turn for the worse when Kelly’s parents come to Boston for a visit. Woody is nervous and wants to make a good impression, but things don’t go as planned. Woody accidentally breaks a valuable vase belonging to Kelly’s parents, and Kelly’s father is understandably upset. Woody is devastated and unsure how he will ever pay back the $1,000 that the vase is worth.

The Cheers gang tries to come up with a plan to help Woody out.
