Notes

add »
Melissa Hughes (Marisa Coughlan) departs as being Alan Shore's receptionist to go on to work with Jeffrey Coho (Craig Bierko). Since Jeffrey left the show eight episodes later, we can all but assume that Melissa departed with him, since she has not been seen since. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Alan: Have you wonder how you'd be as a woman, Denny?
Denny: I'd be a lesbian. (edit)
(Alan sees Melissa dancing with Brad)
Alan: Sally's gone, Melissa's gone.
(Alan looks slyly at Claire)
Claire: Forget it, horny toad. (edit)
Denny: See, that's why we're perceived as soft on terror, we can't even kill out own people. (edit)
(Shirley enters Denise's office wearing a witch costume)
Shirley: Boo.
Denise: That's perfect. I have to go to Salem later today maybe you should come with me.
Shirley: What's in Salem?
Denise: Possibly, um... Daniel's head. (edit)
(After Bethany overhears that Denny could be her potential father)
Denny: Hi honey. Who's your daddy? (edit)

Trivia

add »
While it made for good theater to have Daniel Post's organs being scattered all over the country by the illegal organ snatcher, there is no way that they could have been usable. It would have taken too much time to return his remains to the U.S. from Brazil, harvest the organs, and arrange the sales on the black market. (edit)
