During a recent interview with Vulture, Cosby reflected on the episode and how her castmates also got in touch after the episode premiered. 'I heard from all of [the cast] - I even heard from Britani [Bateman]. Lisa [Barlow] was the only one that didn't reach out, and that's why I said I felt she's kind of the person that is a little bit happy when other people are going through something.'.
