"Showdown, Part 2" is the 22nd and last episode of the first season of ''Series/{{Cheers}}''.
The impact of Sam's brother Derek visiting in "Showdown, Part 1" continues to be felt. Norm loses the job at the accounting firm that Derek got him (the firm was crooked), and Coach didn't get that job coaching in Venezuela after all, but Diane and Derek are still dating. In fact, Derek has just invited Diane to go to Paris with him.
This brings matters to a head. Sam, whose usual reaction to emotional pain is withdrawal, refuses to admit that he's hurt, and in fact starts chasing babes again. Diane for her part tells Coach that she likes Sam better, but Derek has offered a commitment while Sam only flirts. The episode, and the season, ends with a violent argument in Sam's office, where events reach a climax.

!!Tropes:
* TheBigDamnKiss: The episode ends with the moment the whole season was building for, as Sam and Diane finally share a passionate kiss before the SmashToBlack.
* TheGhost: Although Derek appeared as TheVoice in the previous episode he's TheGhost in this one, as Sam and Diane talk about him a lot but he never appears.
* MultiPartEpisode: The second part of the two-part series finale, in which Sam and Diane finally admit their feelings and share TheBigDamnKiss.
* NailsOnAChalkboard: Diane grabs the chalkboard from the pool room and scratches it to force Sam to admit his feelings.
* PreviouslyOn: The first one ever on ''Cheers'', as Carla reminds the audience of the events of "Showdown, Part 1".
* SlapSlapKiss: Sam and Diane would often veer between rage-filled fights and moments of passion, but never more than at the end of this episode, where they finally vent their feelings.
