First appearance in the series of the character of Lynn DiNovi, Mayoral Liaison. She is played by Tina DiJoseph, wife of the show's creator Glenn Gordon Caron, who also played an unrelated guest role in the pilot episode.
At around 16:10 with Allison asleep on the sofa, a weather report is playing with the location of the report as Houston, TX where they show a partial map and make reference to heavy rains near the 610 loop at or near I-10 on the east side of town. The map appears to show rain or a storm on the west side of town but is difficult to determine without labels or reference points.
