Esmerelda, the replacement maid, tells Berta in Spanish that Charlie "will be dead soon" when she leaves near the end of the episode. Charlie's character was famously killed off at the end of this short season in the aftermath of actor Charlie Sheen's public feud with the producers. A similarly prescient comment occurs in the next episode when Jake asks if Charlie is dying when he gives a toast at Thanksgiving dinner.
