Final appearance of Herbert Edelman as Stanley Zbornak.
The actor who plays the pastor in this episode, also played a pastor in two episodes of The Golden Girls.
The priest presided over Dorothy's brother's/Sophia's son's funeral and also officiated Dorothy's wedding to Lucas.
It is never established if Stan actually died or ran from the IRS like he mentions to Sophia. There is strong evidence that he did die. Sophia has been waning in mental capacity since her stroke years prior, so she could have had delusions of seeing Stan. Also, no one else sees him. His attorney most likely wouldn't put his license on the line for one client worth less than $10 million.
