The girls go to Hollywood to appear on the TV game show Grab that Dough!
Tropes:
- And Your Reward Is Edible: Dorothy and Blanche's prize for winning Grab That Dough: an electric skillet, and a lifetime supply of soup to go in the skillet.
- Celebrity Lie: In the most extreme example, Blanche claims to be Angie Dickinson:Blanche: I have altered my appearance for a very important movie role.Dorothy: It's about a woman who eats her way from behind the Iron Curtain.
- Celebrity Paradox: The episode sees the girls going on the titular game show, and Rose compares the host, Guy Corbin, to several other famous game show hosts of the era, such as Match Game host Gene Rayburn. Betty White made several appearances on Match Game during the 1970s and '80s.
- Game Show Appearance: Pretty much everything that possibly could go wrong for the girls in the course of their appearance on Grab That Dough does.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Dorothy and Blanche decide to split up with Sophia and Rose, playing against them. The result? They get absolutely annihilated by Sophia and Rose in the first round.
- Status Quo Game Show: Dorothy and Blanche end up being in the winning group, despite the mishaps along the way. However, their choices during the final round cause them to win only a lifetime supply of canned soup, and a skillet to cook it in.
- Undesirable Prize: The girls go through a lot of trouble to fly to California to be Grab That Dough!, so they decide to split up to increase their chances of winning. Rose and Sophia lose, and each take home $100. Blanche and Dorothy win, and bet their cash on a mystery prize. After showing them Window 1 (new living room furniture) and Window 2 (a sports car) they open Window 3 and show them their prize... an electric skillet. And a lifetime supply of soup.
- Victoria's Secret Compartment: After the Girls believe they have lost their Grab That Dough tickets due to their purses being stolen, Sophia is revealed to have kept the tickets safe in her bra.
