Although she has never really had any interest in him before, their shared knowledge of classical music - for her, it's more of a loathing due to her forced classical music upbringing - brings them together.

This evening is not quite what either expects, which in turn makes Rebecca do some things she probably would like to forget.

What’s really eerie about this episode is that the very same day it was aired (May 6, 1993) there were two separate Postal Worker shootings in the United States! I distinctly remember there being a warning before the episode aired explaining that the show was made before these events & apologized for the unintentionally sensitive material!

I mistakenly recorded over my original broadcast copy so again do not know if the DVD is edited. This was a special hour-long episode that was later broken up into two for syndication.
