This episode is partly based on real life. John R. Worthington Jr. believes and has told people he is the illegitimate son of John F. Kennedy. His mother alluded to an affair with JFK which led Worthington to try and find evidence, DNA, from JFK so he can corroborate this. Vanity Fair was writing a story regarding this but stopped for unknown reasons.
