Episode Notes
This is the first episode for director Terry Hughes, who would later be referred to as "the fifth Golden Girl." He would remain with the show until the end of season five.

The kitchen's design is given an update in this episode. The polka-dotted wallpaper has been replaced with that a floral print pattern, and the wall near the swinging kitchen door has been shortened.

Dorothy: Sure, ma.
Sophia; Don't expect a miracle.
