It appears this was the first Diagnosis Murder episode to be set in California, having moved from Colorado without any on-screen explanation.
Gerald "Simon and Simon" McRaney plays a police detective seeking to solve the crime, but with a twist that Diagnosis Murder often has at the end. He is solving the murder of a call girl, who was blackmailing three powerful and wealthy people...a spiritual facilitator, a media mogul, and a construction CEO. This episode was screened before the publication of the book "You'll never make live in this town again", which is memorable of its accounts of John Ritter's 9 1/2 hour sex session..."pure, hot, jackhammer sex".
We also learn in this episode that Dr Bentley comes from a wealthy family, because when the Dr Sloan and crew try to think of a birthday gift, someone asks what do you get for someone who has everything? In the final scene, we see an uncredited extra (playing a nurse) holding Dr Bentley's birthday cake.
