Anne Heche returns in this Berry & Swartzlander story, this time as Laurie's ex Karen, although this is not immediately apparent.  Laurie got in a car accident after having lunch with Karen.  The episode has an odd feel to it, not only because of the mind games Karen is playing but because of the offscreen relationship between DeGeneres and Heche.  (They'd break up in 2000.)

Tyler Layton returns as Laurie's sister Leah.  This is Kayla Murphy's last appearance as Holly.  Laurie herself does not actually appear.
