Diane Chambers: Good Lord, Sam, have you been swimming laps in that cologne of yours?

Diane Vs Paranoia
This is another short story episode, this time closer to Saki or Roald Dahl. The plot is simple: Diane tries to conduct a psychological experiment on paranoia and ends up falling victim of her own paranoia.
Diane decides to "introduce a foreign element" into the bar: a sullen, intimidating-looking customer who orders coffee and says nothing for hours. The rest of the bar reacts as Diane predicted, arguing and even accusing each other until Sam confronts the patron.* When the gang finds out, Sam cryptically says "we don't *get mad,*" implying that they plan to get even...
Diane spends the rest of the episode wigging out over their possible revenge, even enlisting Frasier to spy on the crew. The climax allows for Shelley Long to show off her best goofiness.
This is a silly episode, but it ties into Diane's character arc for the season. With Coach gone, Diane feels even more of place than when she started working at Cheers. How this will be resolved will lead to the season's cliffhanger...
