There is not much more that can be added to the now well-documented fact that this was the last episode of "Chico And The Man" that Freddie Prinze filmed mere hours before he took his own life...other than to point out a truly chilling detail that seems to have elicited little notice or comment. In the last few minutes of the episode, Prinze asks Jack Albertson to take a large knife that he was previously using to cut his own birthday cake and hand it over, so he can stab himself to death in a "comic" gesture of apology, guilt, and self-recrimination for setting up a false imitation of "God's voice" to convince Ed that his life still has value and meaning as he grows old.
