At deacon Frye's (Sherman Hemsley) celebratory party for Amelia (Roz Ryan) Dr. Carter comments that the deacon would have survived despite Amelia's interdiction. Deacon Frye certainly would have not survived if Amelia Hedebrinke had left Deacon Frye submerged in water well below freezing. And outside, exposed to blowing wind well below 32° Farenheit.
