Sophia becomes a sexy seductress to lure her boyfriend, Tony (Cesar Romero) into bed, while Rose promises celibacy.
Tropes:
- Exact Words: When Sophia goes out with Tony Delvecchio in, the following exchange takes place:
- Dorothy: Ma, be good.
Sophia: I promise.
[Cut to Tony and Sophia in bed together]
Tony: You're good.
Sophia: A promise is a promise.
- Fake Boobs: Blanche gives Sophia a makeover for her date, which includes this trope:
- Dorothy: Ma, are you in there?Sophia: You know, this is the first time in years I've felt like the real me. [to Blanche] Should these be lower?
- "Jump Off a Bridge" Rebuttal: Dorothy attempts this on Sophia. It doesn't work.Dorothy: Ma, did you sleep with Tony Delvecchio?
Sophia: A little.
Dorothy: Ma!
Sophia: Blanche made me do it!
Dorothy: Don't you have a mind of your own? If Gladys Goldfein told you to drink an entire bottle of Kaopectate, would you?
Sophia: Who blabbed? - Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Blanche gives romantic advice to both Rose and Sophia: Rose, who has to remain celibate due to a drought in St. Olaf, should coyly hide the truth from Miles, while Sophia should take charge with her potential suitor Tony Delvecchio. Both approaches backfire spectacularly — Miles ends up breaking up with Rose due to her perceived lack of interest (they get back together, of course), and Sophia ends up storming out after telling Tony that she loves him.
