The episode has Dr. Shreek act like a kindly old man, even going so far as to say his hands 'weren't what they used to be' when he fudged a music note on a piano, until something happens and he chases after Jerry Hawkins screaming 'Beautiful Hands!'. The sheer emotion the actor used when he said the part about his hands failing can actually bring a tear to one's eye because it actually sounds real.
