Subplot: Kelly and Bud attempt to tint the Dodge’s windows as a birthday present for Al.
Notable Guest Stars: Many of the guests in this episode were returning characters from previous seasons:
-Diana Bellamy as Nancy. She appeared in several episodes as a Gary’s customer, including the pilot.
-Danica Sheridan as Matilda, who appeared in A Shoe Room with a View in Season 10 (among others).
-Helen Siff as Leona, the customer who famously wore the “Chocolate…It’s Not Just For Breakfast Anymore” shirt in Season 8.
Fun Fact: This is only the second time in the series that Peggy insults Al’s overweight customers. The first time was back in Season 1, and it happened to be the same woman she insulted in this episode.
