The episode cliff-hanger is never resolved in a later episode. (edit) Reverend Al Sharpton makes a second cameo appearance. (edit)

Alan (about Gil): He's played Santa for eight years without incident. In fact, he's received glowing praise from both parents and employers.
Judge: Would you sit in his lap?
Alan: Sure. Why not?
(Alan goes and sits on Gil's lap)
Alan: And he hasn't gone homo erectus on me if that was your fear. (edit) Tara: Do you have a thing... for little women?
Alan: I have a thing for women. You've never fallen for someone shorter than you?
Tara: Well, I believe I'm involved with one now.
(Alan stands next to Tara, comparing their height)
Alan: Either you're mistaken, or I'm jealous. (edit) Gil Furnald: I just like wearing women's clothes sometimes. It's not a sexual turn-on, it just feels right sometimes.
Denny: So, basically you're a sicko.
Gil Furnald: I'm not sick.
Denny: Lighten up, man. So what, you got caught in a skirt? That was it?
Gil Furnald: My employer found out, and, yes, I got fired. They asked me a lot of questions, like whether I'm gay.
Denny: Are you? Not that there's anything wrong with it. (edit) Alan: What's your specialty?
Dr. Konigsberg: Couples' counseling. I first saw the client and his wife together. Since the divorce I've been working with him alone.
Alan: So they came to you to improve their relationship, and now one wants to kill the other. Not your best work, was it, doctor? (edit)

This episode does not have any trivia. Add some now!

When Denny asks the cross-dressing Santa if said Santa is gay, he immediately follows it up with "Not that there's anything with that." This is a reference to a Seinfeld episode entitled The Outing, during which Denny's statement was said many times. (edit)
