After looking at what you posted, I ended up re-watching the episode about Nell buying Addie's used car. And I discovered I had not yet rated it on the IMDb, which I soon did. Hilarious 5th season episode. Really depicts the back-and-forth aspects of the ladies' life-long friendship.

Best joke was when it said on the car "ADDY SOLD ME THIS LEMON." If I had walked by, I would've taken a picture of that, since it looked so funny.

Yes. And inside the restaurant, Nell kept asking for drinks and food with lemon in it. Very funny.

Yeah, she is doing that to tease Addy about the car and that she wants her money back that she gave Addy.

I think they also used the beach scenes in Sam's First Love.

Oh, also, sort of interesting that in the background with Nell is Chorus Line. In the final season, Nell and Addy see that show.

By the way, I don't know if I said this but in one shot you see Matthew standing in front of a poster of the long running musical The Fantasticks. I have a friend who is the ultimate fan of that show and knew Lore Noto, the late producer personally, as well as Jerry Orbach (the original El Gallo). He has introduced me to Mary Noto, who is still alive.
