* RunningGag: Rebecca's lousy standing with the Lillian Corporation manages to reach an all-time low, when one of the board tells Sam they didn't even recognise her name when she tries warning them about Robin, and that they did some digging afterwards to discover the shocking truth: She ''works'' for them.

"Cry Hard" is the 25th episode of the eighth season of ''Series/{{Cheers}}''. It's the first part of the two-part series finale.

However, as Rebecca and Sam are waiting in the lobby of the Lillian board of directors, Robin Colcord intercepts her. Rebecca, being a sucker, accepts, and waltzes away with Robin, leaving Sam to expose Robin to the Lillian board.

!!Tropes:

* AcmeProducts: Woody, looking for a new place to live, finds a place with a low monthly rent--at "Acme Self-Storage".
* ContinuityNod:
** Woody is still dealing with the increased rent on his apartment, something first mentioned in the previous episode, "Mr. Otis Regrets".
** Sam reminds Rebecca how Robin cheated him out of a business deal in "[[Recap/CheersS8E3 A Bar Is Born]]", and how they caught Robin with another woman in "[[Recap/CheersS8E15 Finally! Part 1]]".
* CrazyPrepared: Sam can't help but be impressed when Robin grabs the incriminating fax and shreds it with a built-in shredder that's part of his briefcase.
-->'''Sam''': Boy, you really come prepared, don't you?
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: One of the all-time great examples of this trope, as Rebecca scans over the confidential document that appears on Robin's fax machine, and realizes what is going on.
-->'''Rebecca''': Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute you guys. Let's not jump to any wild conclusions here. Let's just look at the facts. Now, all we really know is that Robin is using my secret password to break into my corporation's confidential files, and from the date on these, well it looks like he's been doing it since, well since the day after we first slept together. So all I think we can conclude by this is '''I AM TOO STUPID TO LIVE!'''
* GirlsBehindBars: The guys are talking about what Rebecca should do to avoid going to jail, but they get sidetracked with daydreaming about Rebecca in various sexy GirlsBehindBars scenarios.
* HomeEarlySurprise: A variation on this, as Rebecca's decision to surprise Robin by moving in early leads her to discover his plot.
* IdiotBall: Even if Robin didn't know Rebecca was going to move into his place early, it really wasn't a good idea to send an incriminating document to his fax machine.
* IgnoredEpiphany: Rebecca has a lot of these.
** Faced with the news that Jeanne-Marie is getting a new house, Rebecca resolves to dump Robin, only to enthusiastically accept when he asks her to move in with him.
** Rebecca realizes that Robin has been using her as part of his corporate takeover, and resolves to expose him to the board, but when he asks her to marry him she forgets all about the little matter of corporate espionage.
* MultiPartEpisode: First part of a two-part Season 8 finale.
* SuddenlyShouting: Rebecca's effort to explain away the fax ends with her suddenly screaming "I AM TOO STUPID TO LIVE!".
* ToBeContinued: The episode ends with a "To Be Continued" title.
