Notes
This is the first episode not to feature James Beck, who was in a coma during its recording. James passed away shortly thereafter and is still credited during the end credits. Walker's absence in this episode is explained by a note left in Walker's place reading "Gone to the smoke". Following this episode the character was never seen or referred to again.
