Shortly before Richard Green was released from the asylum, Dr. Moss was overruled on her attempt to detain him for longer than the eight years he had been held there. About two weeks later, she spoke on the phone to Frank Black about Green and was not surprised to learn that the former patient was again in trouble. Dr. Patricia Moss was played by Lorena Gale. The character introduces herself to Frank Black, when she first appears, only as "Dr. Moss" and her first name is not established in the episode's fictional events but is given as "Patricia" in the closing credits.
