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)

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) Denise: I can't get closure from a spleen, this is not working. (edit) Bella: You're dating Denny Crane? Why didn't you tell me?
Bethany: I wanted it to be a surprise. What's going on?
Bella: Well, Denny and I were once...
Denny: Engaged. (pause) Surprise. (edit) Alan: I see. And how did you happen to end up with this Jeffrey Coho?
Melissa: Oh, we clicked. (edit) (About Lincoln)
Brad: Was there any evidence at all that he could've done it or that he was a pedophile?
Jeffrey: You representing him or me in this, Brad?
Brad: I'm just asking you the questions that he'll be asking you if this ever goes to trial, Jeff.
Jeffrey: This goes to trial, one of us is a pretty terrible lawyer. (edit) Denny: Bethany, I'm not the kind of guy that girls take home to their mother. I tend to, you know, hit on them. (edit) (Brad is assigned to defend Jeffrey)
Jeffrey: No, no, no, no. Not him.
Paul: Yes him. This will be an opportunity for the two of you to bond.
Brad: (to Jeffrey in a mocking manner) Get yourself in a little trouble there... Sport. (edit) (Jeffrey is being sued by Lincoln)
Jeffrey: I can defend this myself.
Paul: Very bad idea.
Jeffrey: I'm full of them. (edit) Denise: Daniel died during a lung transplant surgery in Brazil.
Alan: And you get the news through a mariachi band?
Denise: You had to know Daniel. He always said when his time came, c'est la vie. (edit) (About Lincoln)
Shirley: What exactly did you say about him?
Jeffrey: Oh, you know, that he might've been the killer. (edit) (Lincoln enters Shirley's office)
Jeffrey: Lincoln.
Lincoln: Did someone speak? I heard a noise. It sounded a bit godless but I heard it all the same. (edit) Alan: (lifting his glass in a toast) To Daniel Post. My loss.
Denny: I didn’t know you even knew him.
Alan: I didn’t. From what I gather, my loss.
Alan: You’re not getting in this dress. (edit) Jerry: More than half of the world’s countries have outlawed capital punishment. Virtually all of the industrialized democracies have eliminated it. The five countries that execute the most people are in order: China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United States and Pakistan. Is that the company we want to keep? (edit) Melissa: What’s going on, Alan, is I’m not comfortable discovering you in closets photography buffing, or walking into your office finding some sex doctor measuring your pants, or smelling the waft of maple syrup
after you’ve tried cases against old girlfriends. What’s going on is I’ve had enough. (edit) Denny: You won?!
Alan: Don't ask me how. The jury must have just...
Denny: Ignored the law like total commies.
Alan: Exactly. (edit)

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)
