Amber: Okay, I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. I'm not who you think I am. My real name is Peg. And I'm a hardcore lesbian. I'm into leather play, butch white girls, skunkin', pullin' the blinds, and poodle balling. Whatever you got, I'll eat it, snort it, or ride it, baby.
Episode Goofs
When Wanda makes the ad-libbed joke about "tuck it in", Debra jerks her head away and almost cracks up. But saves herself at the last moment.
Storyline aside, why didn't Karen bother to mention she wanted a baby once before with Grace, much like she did with Jack? The divorce makes sense, but wouldn't it have added to make reference to this episode again? It seems like a minor plot left out to make way for something new.
