Trivia:

A Peter Benton-centric episode.

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: (as well as numerous others), reference is made to Peter Benton being a vegetarian, yet in the picnic scene following Jesse's funeral, he places a piece of fried chicken on his plate. Many people call themselves vegetarian but eat chicken and/or fish.

Quotes:

[Jeanie's nose is bleeding. Peter reaches out with a tissue]
Jeanie Boulet: Peter, don't touch me, for God's sake! I'm poison.
