In the previous episode, Anthony became engaged to Vanessa. Although in this episode it is like it never happened.
B.J.: And evidentially I have three corporate jets sitting out on the runway, and I don't even know where to get them gassed up. Do any of y'all? Carlene: Gee, I never thought about it..........maybe Texaco?
Julia: I can't believe; seven years of Sugarbaker's down the tubes in one lousy card game. Carlene: Mary Jo and Anthony still have their share of the business. Maybe you could work for them. Julia: Five Card Stud. I don't even know what that means. I mean, what would possess me to risk everything I own on a game I don't even know how to play?! I mean, have I been crazy for some time now, or did I just go insane after arriving here?! And maybe even most poignantly, where are my shoes?
This is the first episode with no opening credit montage. The credits are scrolled over the actual minutes of the episode.
This episode marks the move of the series from Monday night to Friday night. It is believed that the network moved the show as a way to try to secure the Friday night ratings. Unfortunately, the opposite happened and the series experienced a huge drop in viewership.
This episode title is taken from the classic novel, Of Human Bondage, by Somerset Maugham.
