Nearly 2 years later in Season 4's "Sleep Talk, Sweet Talk", Angela utters (in her sleep) that she loves Tony (this time with Samantha, Jonathan, Mona, and Tony listening). This would serve as one of many dynamics, leading up to their eventual romantic relationship.
Premise once again completely copied by the little imaginative Nanny production in Deep Throat (1994) where Fran has tonsil surgery and tells her boss she loves him.
