* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Rebecca finally, finally spits it out--"I love you, Mr. Drake! I love you more than any woman has ever loved a man!"--only to find out that he didn't hear her because the limo's glass partition was up. (And it turns out it didn't matter anyway, as Evan has a girlfriend. One who approached him and asked him out, unlike Rebecca.)

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sam is especially sleazy through the episode, openly admitting to Carla he's helping Rebecca solely so that when everything goes wrong he'll swoop in like a vulture and seduce her.

"Backseat Becky Up Front" is the 25th and final episode of the sixth season of ''Series/{{Cheers}}''.
It's bad news for Rebecca, as her long-time crush Evan Drake is leaving Boston to go work in Japan, meaning time is running out for Rebecca to tell him how she feels without making a complete ass of herself. She tries throwing a farewell party for him at Cheers, but her efforts to get him alone are thwarted repeatedly.
In desperation, Rebecca (with a little help from Sam) traps Evan's limo driver in the supply cupboard and takes his place. But even then, Rebecca's plans don't go well, as it turns out Evan is already taking someone to Japan with him. A young, ''female'' someone, who he's very fond of indeed.
Later, once Rebecca's been sprung from the police for crashing the limo by Sam, she returns to her apartment, completely despondent at the night's events. Sam, for once not entirely focused on getting into her pants, tries being a shoulder to cry on, but despite his best efforts is unable to control his raging libido, and ultimately has to resort to comforting Rebecca from a payphone in her block's lobby.
!!Tropes:
* CannotSpitItOut: Not entirely for lack of trying, but by the time Rebecca has an opportunity to tell Drake how she feels about him, it's far too late.
* ChivalrousPervert: Sam is trying not to seduce Rebecca at the end of the episode, much as he really, ''really'' wants to. But he can't even listen to Rebecca for even a minute without having to flee the room. Despite Rebecca's faith in his good intentions, he reveals that while they were talking, he'd already unhooked her bra.
-->'''Sam:''' Sorry, this isn't working. ''Hot fire below!''
* DidNotGetTheGuy: Rebecca doesn't manage to tell Evan Drake how she feels, and he's already seeing someone anyway.
* PutOnABus: Evan Drake gets a transfer to the Lillian Corporation's Japan branch. This is the last we see of him.
* RealityEnsues: Rebecca crashes Drake's limo, and when the police come to investigate, she gets into more trouble for not having a limo driver's license.
* UnwantedAssistance: As Rebecca tries to talk to Drake alone, Carla interrupts to give her the [[CaptainObvious helpful advice]] that since it's his last night in Boston, she might wanna talk to him.
* YankTheDogsChain: The entire episode is a long, long string of chain-yanking for Rebecca.
