Jenny Lee Arness, daughter of actor James Arness, was found dead from a lethal overdose of sleeping pills at her Malibu beach house shortly after this episode aired. Arness had been under a physician's care for severe depression and a letter found revealed that she took the overdose after watching this episode, where Cher's then-current romantic partner, Gregg Allman, was a guest. Allman had briefly moved in with Arness in 1972 and at one point, they had been engaged. Apparently, she harbored an unrequited love for Allman.
