This Ted Bergman story introduces the character of The Snake, played by Leland Smith, who would be in five more episodes.  He's a basketball player that his manager Mr. Finley (Booke) pays Raj $5 an hour to tutor, but then Mr. Finley wants to pay $500 for Raj to take a test for The Snake.  Both Raj and The Snake rebel against this, and towards the end of the episode Shirley gives The Snake a job as busboy.  (I guess Rob won't mind, though it is his restaurant.)
