Trivia
It's a very long work day for Honey. She spends the day in the Long Branch with Ben Stack, except for when he took her to Delmonico's for supper. He goes to his hotel room around 11, but can't sleep, so he goes for a walk around 1:30am and Honey is walking along with Hal Biggs. When Ben mentions how she is out late, she says the Long Branch just closed.

Goofs
In the Long Branch when Matt figures it out, Ben has his arms crossed at the table. A second later, Matt sees him holding hands with Honey.

A Sad Story and Sad Watching the Guest Star

Since so many others have reviewed the plot, my review of the show itself will be just say that, like so many Gunsmoke episodes, there are no happy endings. It was a very dark show very often. What is also sad is watching guest star Joanna Moore, at the time wife of Ryan O'Neal, and mother of Tatum O'Neal. Moore's personal story is very sad and to have that knowledge while watching this person with blazing charisma that lights ups the screen is hard. Much like 2-time guest star John Drew Barrymore, whose own personal life descended into ruin, watching Moore and thinking what could have been is tough in that you see a real talent who was destroyed by personal demon's offscreen.
