* WomenAreWiser: This is the only episode with any kind of direct involvement from Rose's son, even though it's offscreen. The TongueOnTheFlagpole incident indicates that he's much more dimwitted than his sisters.

* LetMeTellYouAStory: Sophia apparently learned storytelling from her own mother:
--> '''Sophia's Mother''' (Creator/BeaArthur): Let me tell you a story. Picture it! Sicily, 1881. A beautiful young peasant girl...\\
'''Sophia''': Ma, not another story!\\
'''Sophia's Mother''': Sophia, come closer. ''[slaps Sophia in the face]''
* StuckAtTheAirportPlot: Rose reminisces about being stuck in a bus station with another elderly woman who was going to visit her daughter. She eventually reveals that her daughter is dead, and that she visits the cemetery on Mother's Day every year. Things look bleak when a cop shows up (the woman had run away from her nursing home to make the trip), but Rose saves the day by claiming that the woman is her own mother.
* TongueOnTheFlagpole: When the Girls are gathered to receive their expected Mother's Day calls from their offspring, Rose asks her son if it is cold enough in Minnesota for their tongue to stick to a pole when you lick it. He places her on hold while he goes to find out, but the answer is never revealed to the audience, implying that the answer is yes.
