* SpoilingShoutOut: In the B-plot, the guys discuss a movie that ran on television the previous night. Frasier asks them not to because he hasn't seen it yet. They still do and spoil it for him. In retaliation, he spoils the endings to ''Film/CitizenKane'' (Rosebud was Kane's sled), ''Literature/MurderOnTheOrientExpress'' (EverybodyDidIt), and ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' ([[LukeIAmYourFather Darth Vader is Luke's father]]). Despite most of these being well-known by the time the episode aired, Woody has apparently never seen the last film, meaning it is a genuine spoiler for him.

* SilenceIsGolden: The whole cold open plays out with no dialogue. The gang shows up at the hospital to see Carla's new babies, with the camera staged inside the nursery so we can't hear what anyone's saying. They're smiling and cooing at a pair of twins when Carla shows up, whistles, and points to a different pair of twins. The gang takes a look at Carla's twins, then goes back to the apparently cuter babies.

Episode: Season 6, Episode 15\\
Title: Tale of Two Cuties\\
Directed by: Michael Zinberg\\
Written by: Cheri Eichen and Bill Steinkellner\\
Air Date: January 21, 1988\\
Previous: And God Created Woodman\\
Next: Yacht of Fools\\
Guest Starring: Creator/TomSkerritt, Mandy Ingber, Timothy Williams, Bobbie Eakes, Paul Willson]
"Tale of Two Cuties" is the 15th episode of the sixth season of ''Series/{{Cheers}}''.
Cheers is left with no waitress, with Carla recuperating from delivering twins. Meanwhile, Carla's son Anthony and his wife Annie (Timothy Williams and Mandy Ingber) come into the bar. Anthony can't get a job and the young couple is flat broke (they've been living with Carla and Eddie), so Sam suggests that Annie get some temp work waiting tables at the bar.
Unfortunately, Rebecca's hands are tied, because she's already been told who to hire. Evan Drake himself has called the bar and personally requested that Rebecca give a young woman named Laurie the job. When Laurie shows up to work and is revealed to be beautiful, Rebecca leaps to the conclusion that she's Drake's mistress. With Laurie there Annie has to settle for working for tips--and she winds up developing a crush on Sam.
In the B-plot, the rest of the gang irritate Frasier by continually revealing the endings to cheesy TV shows and potboiler novels that he hasn't read yet.

!!Tropes:
* CatFight: Discussed and subverted. Cliff and Norm are disappointed when the hoped-for cat fight turns into Rebecca laying out Laurie with one punch.
--> '''Cliff''': Oh damn, it's a knockout.\\
'''Norm''': We didn't even get to any hair-pulling.
* HypocriticalHumor: Rebecca mutters nonstop about how Laurie is a scheming slut, only to say "You're doing a great job Laurie, keep it up!" when Laurie walks by.
* InadvertentEntranceCue: Norm has just about convinced Rebecca that Laurie is probably an unsatisfactory employee that Lillian Corp. wishes would quit. Rebecca is muttering to herself that the new waitress is some "pathetic little dishrag" when the lovely Laurie strolls through the front door.
* ItWasHisSled: InUniverse. Frasier, irritated by the others ruining plot twists, tells them that "Rosebud" was [[Film/CitizenKane Kane's sled]], that EverybodyDidIt in ''Literature/MurderOnTheOrientExpress'', and that [[LukeIAmYourFather Darth Vader is Luke's father]]. Unfortunately, it seems that Woody missed the last two ''Star Wars'' films.
-->'''Woody:''' Darth Vader can't be Luke Skywalker's father. They don't even have the same last name!

* RelativeError: After punching Laurie in the face, Rebecca is horrified when Evan Drake walks in the door and Laurie calls him "Daddy".
