This episode was dedicated to Linda Bloodworth-Thomason's mother-in-law, Pauline Thomason, who passed away from breast cancer, and also to her late mother, Claudia Bloodworth. (edit) This episode was the first of five hour-long episodes to air in the show's seven season history. (edit) A letter-writing campaign by determined fans brought the series back, now on Sunday evenings. (edit)

Charlene: (Upon finding out she has a cancerous lump in her breast) I'm afraid of losing my life! I mean, I wouldn't be happy about having a mastectomy, but I could live with that. After all, I had a fake chest all through junior high school. It's just that, ...I've never had children. I've never been to Europe. I've never even seen Jerry Lee Lewis in concert. (edit) Suzanne: Charlene! I should think it would be enough that I bring in most of Sugarbakers' clients, I mean, it's not easy wining and dining a different person every day and trying to think of something interesting to say about interior decorating. But if I can get myself out of bed every morning, put on a face like this, and get myself dressed to the nines, the minimum you can do as the office manager is to tell me whether or not the people I'm gonna be having lunch with are homosexuals.
Charlene: Suzanne, this may come as a surprise to you, but I do not consider a person's sexual persuasion any of my business. That is personal, y'know, like if you've ever been arrested or voted for Richard Nixon. (edit) Mary Jo: Ted's idea of foreplay was to grab me by the ankles and yell, "Make a wish!" (edit)
