Ep 4. Little Carla, Happy at Last (2)

In "Little Carla, Happy at Last (2)," the fourth episode of the sixth season of Cheers, Carla's new boyfriend John unexpectedly proposes to her. However, she is hesitant to accept because he's a rich businessman and she doesn't want to give up her independence. Carla's coworkers at Cheers are surprised by her hesitation given her past relationships with less desirable men, including her ex-husband Nick, and they urge her to reconsider his proposal.

Meanwhile, Cliff is feeling upset by the news that his mom has started dating again and he's not sure he's ready to accept another man in her life. He seeks advice from his friends at the bar, including Frasier, who suggests that Cliff speak with his mom about his feelings.

As Carla continues to grapple with John's proposal, she begins to worry that he's only interested in her for her looks and not her personality or intelligence. This concern is validated when John asks her to go shopping for clothes that fit his idea of a fashionable woman. Carla is hurt and feels like she's being forced to change herself to fit someone else's expectations.

Norm, Sam, and Woody try to cheer Carla up by throwing her a surprise party, but she's still feeling uncertain about her relationship with John. Meanwhile, Cliff has a heart-to-heart with his mom and comes to the realization that he just wants her to be happy, even if it means accepting her relationship with someone new.

In the end, Carla makes a decision about John's proposal that surprises everyone, and Cliff comes to terms with his mom's new relationship. "Little Carla, Happy at Last (2)" is a poignant episode that explores themes of self-acceptance and the complexities of relationships.
