Clay Graham wrote this episode where Tony overdoes expressing his affection for Angela, to the point that she feels smothered and has a Stephen-King-like nightmare.  They do talk things out in the end, although he then has a nightmare that she's become fat.

In some ways, this episode is a mess, and yet there are funny and/or insightful moments, especially from Sam and Jonathan.  A more realistic approach to Tony and Angela's comfort levels of expressing affection would've been welcome at this point, particularly since she seemed just fine being demonstrative in the previous two episodes.  Having Tony stalk her, even if it is presented as a nightmare, leaves a bad taste.

Lois Foraker, who played various nurses on M*A*S*H, here is Kelly at the diner, while Blake Clark, who plays her husband Hoyt, was 2nd MP in the M*A*S*H finale, as well as Blake Cumbers in the "Mr. Smith Goes to Nam" episode of It's Garry Shandling's Show.  (His gruff voice is distinctive.)  Robin Jameson would return as Angela's employee Lisa.
