Initially thinking that Margaret Spencer is a gold digger, Blanche urges Big Daddy to call off the wedding. Big Daddy storms off shortly after. Later, Blanche speaks to Big Daddy and finds out that Margaret is a widower and the two connected and really love each other. Blanche apologizes and gives Big Daddy and Margaret her blessing. Meanwhile, Rose tells Dorothy of her intention to enter a songwriting contest about Miami. Dorothy with poetry writing experience and Rose with experience writing music decide to team up and enter.

Quotes
Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: [singing] Miami is nice, so I'll say it twice. Miami is nice! Miami is nice! Miami is nice! Wait a minute, you put in an extra "Miami is nice". The lyrics don't make any sense. It goes "Miami is nice, so I'll say it *twice*."

Rose Nylund: Well what about this: "Miami is nice, so I'll say it thrice!"

Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Who the hell says "thrice"?

Rose Nylund: It's a word!

Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: So is intrauterine, it doesn't belong in a song!

Rose Nylund: [singing] Miami, you're cuter than an intrauterine!
