This is Chris Lemmon's final appearance as Richard Phillips. Although Lemmon's character was continued over onto this series from "Duet" it became readily apparent that his character was superfluous as writers realized that a love/hate romance between Alison LaPlaca's character Linda, who was Richard's wife, and Philip Charles McKenzie's character Ted was the direction the show should go. Thus Lemmon was dropped after this episode although he will be credited for the next episode.
