is the seventh episode of the fourth season of The Golden Girls and the eighty-third episode overall. Directed by Terry Hughes and written by Barry Fanaro and Mort Nathan, it premiered on NBC-TV on November 26th, 1988. It is the second part of the two-part Sophia's Wedding special.
A stressed-out Dorothy starts smoking cigarettes again, fifteen years after quitting. Sophia and Max return from their honeymoon, and they try to resurrect Max and Salvadore's old pizza-and-knish stand at the beach which unfortunately burns down due to an electrical fault.
Bea Arthur was a heavy smoker in real life, which led to her death from lung cancer.
Sophia is shown to have a bathroom in her bedroom, making that a total of five bathrooms in the house. Blanche, Rose and Dorothy each have one in their own rooms, and then there's the main one in the hall that they share.

The "stalls" that are on either side of the one Sophia and Max are either structurally, connected to or are so close to, the one they rented. Therefore, the nearest stalls would have also suffered damage from the fire. However, there are no burn marks on the walls of the stalls next to theirs.
While Rose was telling a story about St. Olaf, she said Fritz Fenderhooven had double vision and therefore put eight wheels on the Fenderhooven Rocket instead of four. However, if he had double vision, there'd only be two wheels, because his vision would make him see double than what was actually there.
