* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Sophia and Angela are almost always arguing, fighting, or insulting one another. Sophia also mentions that Angela's spent her entire live coveting whatever she has and trying to take it for herself. But deep down, they love each other dearly; at the episode's end, they acknowledge that they're so used to clashing with one another that any truce is bound to be short-lived.
* HandbagOfHurt: When Tony's revealed as a two-timer, Sophia and Angela grab their purses and start whacking him repeatedly.

* InadvertentEntranceCue: After Tony makes a speech about he and Angela are only roommates and that Sophia is the only woman for him, all seems well...until, as he's talking, ''another'' woman emerges from the bathroom:
-->'''Sophia''': Oh, Tony.
-->''(Hugs him)''
-->'''Sophia''': Oh, Angela.
-->''(Hugs her, then realizes there's someone else in the room)''
-->'''Sophia''': ...oh, ''boy'', who is that woman?

!!Tropes:
* AbortedArc: The second appearance of Angela had her move to Miami with the obvious intention of having her as a recurring DropInCharacter, but that became impossible when Angela's actress, Nancy Walker, became sick and couldn't work. They eventually revived the idea with their brother Angelo.
* IAteWhat: Dorothy eats some snacks Rose left behind while the latter was taking care of a live chicken. Then the following dialogue happens:
--->'''Dorothy''': Not bad. What is it?
--->'''Rose''': I'm not sure. The pet store calls it "chicken chow."
* JokeAndReceive: Rose brings a chicken into the house, saying she's a professional entertainer. Blanche scoffs at this and, after Rose steps out, sarcastically says to Dorothy: "What does she do? Play the piano?" Immediately, Rose returns and says, "She plays the piano." (It's a small piano, but she does play it.)
* NeverMessWithGranny: Upon discovering that her boyfriend, Tony, is cheating on her, Sophia lays into him with her purse, with some backup from Angela.
* PutOffTheirFood: Happens when the girls mistakenly believe that the dinner Angela cooks for them is the live chicken Rose is pet-sitting.
* SqueamishAboutSlaughter: When Count Bessie, the chicken Rose is pet-sitting, goes missing at the same time that Angela serves a chicken dinner sourced from "the garage", the girls are disgusted at the thought of having consumed someone's beloved pet. It turns out Count Bessie had escaped from her cage, and Angela is referring to the ''freezer'' in the garage.
* TheTriple: When Angela moves to Miami, they go out to look for a house for her to live in. Angela turns down various suites for the following reasons: Too small, not enough light, and no room for a goat
