Though Sehorn returned the next season, his speed was greatly diminished.

During one of Harmon's appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Sehorn (almost certainly with the assistance of host Jay Leno) hid backstage and surprised Harmon by getting on one knee and asking for her hand in marriage, in front of a live studio audience and millions more watching on television that night.
