Trivia[]

  • The episode's title, psychodrama, is an actual form of psychotherapy where actors serve as surrogates for people in the life of a client, which also allows spontaneous dramatization and role-playing. By recreating real-life situations and acting them out in the present, the client would be able to evaluate his or her behavior, therefore leading to a deeper understanding of the situation.
