Fay had a remarkable resemblance to someone on "America's Most Wanted." It was a woman who took in boarders and then killed them. Brian happened to be staying with Fay, who mentioned she used to take in boarders.

In the final scene, Brian's fear gets the best of him for one of the funniest scenes in the history of the series.
