Recap / The Golden Girls S 04 E 23 Foreign Exchange

Go To

Two friends of Sophia's come to visit from Sicily with the revelation that Dorothy and their daughter, Gina, may have been switched at birth.


Tropes:

  • I Ate WHAT?!: Dorothy accidentally takes a taste from a pot Sophia is using to clean the dirty sink stopper.
  • Writers Cannot Do Math: The issue of Dorothy and Gina possibly having been switched comes to light when Gina takes a blood test for an arranged marriage (and we know it is indeed an arranged marriage because Dorothy is also expected to marry the groom). The plot is resolved when the groom reveals he will marry Gina anyway. There's one slight problem with the whole mess: why the hell would someone Dorothy's age, a post-menopausal, middle-aged woman, be put into an arranged marriage? Given that Gina has been living with her family up until this point, her parents would have literally waited until she was too old to have children to marry her off.
