This episode was filmed about a month before broadcast and was held in reserve in hopes that Bea Benaderet's health would improve before the 'birth of the baby' script. After a few weeks, it was apparent that Benaderet would not be well enough to return, and the episode was broadcast with the understanding that the character of Kate would soon be written off the show.
First broadcast show after the death of Bea Benaderet.
Bea Benaderet's brief scene with Mike Minor was her last on the show.
