In a preview clip, Gafen expressed her desire to be cremated and have her ashes used as organic fertilizer for a lemon tree to be planted in Mitzpe Ramon. "I wanted to be burned, and my ashes to be organic fertilizer, and they would buy a lemon tree and plant it in Mitzpe Ramon, and I would be organic fertilizer," she explained, adding that she wished for a bench to be placed under the tree so people could sit in her shade and enjoy the view and the scent of citrus.
The first episode of the show focused on anxiety and included participants like Ran Danker and Almog Boker. The upcoming episode, airing after "Studio Friday" with Dani Kushmaro, will feature Gafen alongside Rafi Ginat, Rivka Michaeli, Tuvia Tzafir, and Gabi Banai. Ginat humorously reacted to Gafen's unusual plan, remarking, "It's starting to deteriorate."
