Sophia's old friends come from Sicily. As it turns out, it is not just about a visit. They think that the hospital mixed up their daughter and Dorothy on the day they were born and come to take her back to get married. Dorothy goes through emotional time when waiting for results of who her mother is.

A fun episode with a great message that your real parents are the ones who raised and loved you. I loved how Sophia tore apart the blood test without looking at it. Who cares what the blood says, she knows who her daughter is.

And we have some fun watching the great dirty dancing done by Rose and Blanche

Yes, Frieda Claxton is now a part of the tree next door, but a slight lookalike arrives with different intensions. Nan Martin is one of the most underrated, undeservedly forgotten character actors in the business and along with Vito Scotti comes to Miami to claim Dorothy as their natural daughter, switched at birth with the girl they raised (Flo Di Re). What is hysterically funny is that Di Re resembles Estelle Getty while Bea Arthur and Nan Martin look like they could be related.

The supporting story involves Rose and Blanche taking "dirty dancing" lessons where Rose excels and Blanche apparently stinks. Rose and Blanche even get to demonstrate a bit of it, but that story pales in comparison to the conflict of whether or not Dorothy actually Sophia's daughter. This is a difficult situation to properly wrap up in a way that doesn't end with a copout. But for those who for four seasons laughing at the physical difference between Sophia and Dorothy, it does at least answer a few questions on addition to asking some. What is does come down to is that irregardless, Dorothy and Sophia have the mother/daughter relationship, and that is all that matters.
