Episode Notes -  |
FOX brought the show back because another FOX series, "Point Pleasant" wasn't doing too well in it's time-slot. FOX wanted a show that would be a winner in the 9:00pm/8:00pm time-slot.
The name of the episode is a spoof on the hit movie "The Perfect Storm". It also refers to two themes of this episode: the white squall that kills Kate, and also the storm that's been brewing between Tru and Jack.
Liz Vassey previously appeared in the short-lived Fox comedy "The Tick."
Cotter Smith and Liz Vassey are both credited as Special Guest Stars
It seems that Richard is attempting to recruit Harrison as his new heir, possibly to help Jack or, more morbid, replace him if he fails.
