* AuthorsSavingThrow: The third episode, "After It Happened," was heavily criticized by both LGBT and HIV/AIDS advocacy groups for its portrayal of a bisexual man who knowingly infects people with HIV. While researching the follow-up episode, "Someone to Love," writer Stephen Zito talked to some of the people who protested "After it Happened." He and guest star Kay Lenz also met with a support group for women with AIDS, and some of their stories were used in the episode. As a result, "Someone to Love" was much better received, and was praised by many of the people who had criticized "After it Happened."
