"I really liked this episode as I've only seen it one other time. Judith Chapman makes it all worth while. She was always the quintessential drama queen or outright nut cases in tv and movies. Bravo!..."

💡 Did You Know?

Higgins (John Hillerman) is correct; there is so such thing as a black orchid; it's really an extreme dark shade of purple. There's also no such thing as a black rose. Flowers lack the genetic ability to be truly black only dark shades of colors that appear to be black.
