Fred

The scene where Polly tapes up the jack in the box containing Fred was based off an actual incident that happened to a friend of co-writer/executive producer Carlos Davis named Steve Burnette. Burnette's mother Gloria had an imaginary friend when she was a little girl. But the girl's mother couldn't stand the fact that her daughter had an imaginary friend. It finally got to the point to where the Gloria's mother took her imaginary friend and flushed it down the toilet. This incident traumatized her for three years.

When Elizabeth and Fred are on the boat she asks Fred, "What is that water doing there?" He replies, "I don't know," but his mouth is saying something else.
