Warning: Spoilers
The dynamically dimunative Dr Jessie Travis (Charlie Schlatter) is the focus of this basketball-themed episode where murder haunts a basketball team. The suspect is a bit of twist-in-the-tale at the end, and I never saw it coming.

Also, Courtney Gains plays Dwayne Roberts, the Towel Boy who has cerebral palsy. I thought in real life Courtney has cerebral palsy, such is his convincing performance. But not to be. It was part of the plot device where Dwayne pretended he had cerebral palsy for his taste of revenge.

Perhaps this was an inspiration for the casting of RJ Mitte, who has cerebral palsy in real life, playing Walter "Flynn" White Jr. on the AMC series Breaking Bad. Walter had cerebral palsy.
