Fans of LFN will recognize Felicity Waterman, quite possibly most famous for her brilliant guest-starring role in Recruit (1997), as the potentially crazed new recruit. After hundreds were auditioned, Felicity was up for the part of Nikita, which---out of 3 final actresses---eventually went to Peta Wison. She however certainly left her own indelible mark in that series. Apparently, Waterman left acting in the year 2000, and it is unclear what she has been up to.
Cybill (1995) sitcom copied this episode, including the being starved and eating cucumber slices off each other's faces.
