Felicity says she would be an oak tree because they're strong, they're always changing and they're growing. Javier gives her the thumbs up. Dr. Joyce Brothers, playing beauty pageant judge, asks Felicity what her plans for the future are. ["Okay, what the hell kind of stunt casting comes up with Dr. Joyce Brothers and Monica? Like, if you're going to go to the time, effort and expense to stunt cast, and least get some "stars" that people might remotely want to see. What are they gonna do next, invite Lionel Ritchie on the show?".

Sadly, Sorbo has no idea who he'll be getting closer to in episodes to come. "No, but they are going to stunt cast it. They want to bring in a name. There's a few floating around, but I really don't know where they're gonna go with it." Meanwhile, some high profile guest stars have already put in an appearance, such as Buffy star James Marsters.
