Continuity plagued, but usual good humour!

As a fan of The Golden Girls, watching episodes on repeat over the decades, I'm always disappointed the continuity was so awful. Sophia's past (like the other women's pasts) changed so many times over the course of the seven series. Sophia GOT AROUND!

The one man viewers always knew to be her husband was Salvatore. Max Weinstock was briefly her husband (Series IV, two episode arc) and we learn that she was once betrothed to three different men in Sicily: Augustine Bagatelli (Series I), Giuseppe Mangiacavallo (Series V), and Guido Spirelli (Series VII).

The episode has the usual humour associated with GG, though.

Trivia
The name Mangiacavallo means "horse eater" in Italian.

Goofs
The bride is supposedly Dorothy's goddaughter, as stated by Sophia early on in the episode. Later on, when Dorothy, Blanche & the bride are all in the ladies' room, the bride refers to Dorothy as "Aunt Dorothy", and Blanche as "Aunt Blanche", but as Dorothy and Blanche are only friends/roommates, it does not make sense for the bride to refer to Blanche as she does.

Quotes
Blanche Devereaux: [after Dorothy violently pounds on the stall she's trapped in] Dorothy, you do that one more time and I'm going to write on the wall "For a good time, call Dorothy Zbornak".
Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: [laughs] Blanche, this is the ladies' room.
Blanche Devereaux: RIGHT!
