The entire plot, which revolved around David Duchovny's affair with Camilla (Holland Taylor, who's a lesbian in real life), was a giant inside-joke. Duchovny had a two-month whirlwind romance with Téa Leoni (Nora), and they were married a week before this episode aired. Ironically, Duchovny later admitted to being a sex addict, which ultimately led to his divorce from Leoni.
