Niles (David Hyde Pierce) explains to Daphne (Jane Leeves) the necessary types of clothes he's planning on keeping at Frasier's (Kelsey Grammer). These "clothes for any eventuality" are: "formal, semi-formal, dishabille, wet weather, cold weather, cloudy." The definition of "dishabille" is the state of being only partly or scantily clothed.
Anthony LaPaglia, for this episode, won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.
The discussion about Daphne being a virgin may be a nod to Jane Leeves's breakthrough role on "Seinfeld," shortly before "Frasier"began airing, in which she played a virgin.
The actor who portrays Cam, Brian Stokes Mitchell, is actually a Seattle native.
Per the title, "mother load" is a play on the expression "mother lode," which is a principal vein of gold or silver ore.
