Ep 20. 50-50 Carla

In Cheers season 8 episode 20, titled "50-50 Carla," the lovable and feisty waitress Carla finds herself in a major dilemma. At the beginning of the episode, Carla discovers that she's pregnant and has to confront the fact that she can't afford to take care of another child on her own. Desperately needing financial help, Carla turns to her fellow Cheers employees for support.

Sam, the bar's owner and Carla's longtime friend, tries to help by offering her a promotion to full-time waitress. But Carla quickly realizes that the promotion doesn't come with the raise she was hoping for. Feeling defeated, Carla decides to take a leave of absence from Cheers and search for a higher paying job in order to support her growing family.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Cheers gang is preoccupied with their own problems. Rebecca, Sam's former fling and the current manager of Cheers, is dealing with her own financial troubles and is trying to figure out how to cut costs at the bar. Norm, the bar's regular customer, is struggling with his own marital problems and is seeking comfort in the bottom of a beer glass. And Woody, the goofy bartender, is struggling with his own career aspirations and trying to decide whether to pursue a job as a weatherman or stay at Cheers.

As Carla continues her search for a new job, she meets a wealthy businessman named John Allen Hill who offers her a job as his personal assistant. At first, Carla is hesitant to take the job but eventually accepts the offer after learning that her salary would be high enough to support her family. However, when Carla later learns that Hill expects her to be more than just his assistant, she realizes that she's made a terrible mistake.

In typical Carla fashion, she stands up for herself and tells Hill off. Though she's now jobless, Carla is content knowing that she made the right decision. And in the end, the Cheers gang rallies together to support Carla and the newest member of her family.
