Quotes[]

KellyAnd Nat says to cook the turkey breast side up
ValerieWell, I planned to, but David's mother says breast side down. Can't we just shove her in the oven?
Why are you so down on yourself?
—Clare to Steve
DonnaNot doing it is what I regret. Joe's a great guy, I don't wanna lose him
KellyJust make sure you don't lose everything you've always believed in
Steve was a hit. My father fell in love with him... and, I think I did too. Is that possible?
—Clare
I knew that, if I made a choice between you and Dylan, it would've ruined your friendship
—Kelly

PRODUCTION

  • The scenes with Steve Young were shot on 3 October 1995, the day of the verdict in the O.J. Simpson murder case.
    • Because Steve Young was in the episode, reporter Pat O'Brien was on set with Entertainment Tonight and the cast's reaction to the verdict was filmed.[1]
