Lenz, 43, famous that there have been “a lot of really poignant and meaningful moments” within the episode, however there have been additionally “just bizarre” ones particularly with the canine.
“I liked it, I think, overall,” Lenz mirrored. “I’m just thinking about this now. If the dog eating the heart in the hospital was not in the episode, do I like this episode? And I do.”

Bush famous that the scene was “so silly,” saying, “It, like, pulled me out because I was like, ‘Why is it in a lunch box? Why isn’t it sealed? It should be hermetically sealed or whatever the term is for so it doesn’t get contaminated.’ All of the little things where I was like, it’s so far-fetched that I can’t stop asking questions instead of actually watching the scene.”
She continued, “But then I did have to wonder, is that because we’ve been ridiculed for this for a decade and a half and so we are just ready to hate it? I don’t know.”
Lenz agreed with Bush, including that the “mistake” that was made was “not building [the scene] up enough.”
“If we had started on the medic who was, whatever, coming in from a bender the night before and didn’t seal the thing up properly, and we followed the case … if they had actually come up with plausible explanations … if we saw why the heart was the perfect storm, it really would’ve actually paid off I think,” Lenz stated, earlier than including, “There were ways they could’ve improved that, but [it] didn’t happen.”
