    • Trivia
      Estelle Getty had the writers remove jokes about Sophia insulting Phil being a cross dresser because she didn't think a mother would be that heartless.
    • Goofs
      Considering they are burying their brother Phil, it is strange how their sister Gloria is not present at the funeral.
    • Quotes

      Rose Nylund: [about Phil] So what if he was different? It's okay that you loved him.

      Sophia Petrillo: [voice cracking] I did love him. He was my son, my little boy. But every time I saw him I wondered what I did, what I said, when was the day I did whatever I did to make him the way he was.

      Angela Petrillo: [tenderly] What he was Sophia, was a good man.

      Sophia Petrillo: [breaking down crying] My baby is gone!
