Rob Schiller directed the episode written by Executive Producers Cathy Yuspa and Josh Goldsmith.

Doug and Carrie run into Trish (Janeane Garofalo guest stars as Trish, Doug's ex-girlfriend) at an art gallery. When Doug explains that she took the breakup pretty hard, Carrie feels bad for her and, against Doug's wishes, asks Trish out to lunch. After their lunch, Carrie is ready to end their friendship as well, but then learns she works at Saks Fifth Avenue and has an employee discount. Meanwhile, Spence agrees to go out with a guy, even though he's not gay, just to boost his morale.

WHEN DOUG GETS CAUGHT DREAMING ABOUT OTHER WOMEN, CARRIE TRIES TO CONTROL HIS FANTASIES, ON "THE KING OF QUEENS," WEDNESDAY, FEB. 18

Leah Remini's Husband, Angelo Pagan, and Kevin James' Fiancée, Steffiana De La Cruz, Guest Star

"Damned Yanky" -- Carrie becomes angry when she catches Doug fantasizing about other women while he's sedated at the hospital recovering from an appendectomy, on THE KING OF QUEENS, Wednesday, Feb. 18 (9:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Rob Schiller directed the script written by Chris Downey.

When Carrie accuses Doug of cheating on her, he informs her that it's not exactly cheating because she's dead in all of his fantasies. Not comforted by this, Carrie gives Doug a list of fantasies he is allowed to have where she is not dead, one of which is with her manicurist, Tina (guest star Steffiana De La Cruz, Kevin James' real-life fiancée). Carrie then decides to have her on fantasy, one in which she is seduced by Doug's sexy doctor, Dr. Garcia (guest star Angelo Pagan, Leah Remini's real-life husband).
