Dorothy's ex-husband, Stan (Herb Edelman), shows up at the house to announce that he is going to have bypass surgery, and that he needs a place where he can recover in comfort. Ignoring Sophia's (Estelle Getty) insults, Dorothy (Bea Arthur) extends the hand of compassion and hospitality to her former helpmate -- and never mind that Stan has confessed that his extramarital hijinks were far more extensive than Dorothy had ever imagined. With all this going on, a subplot involving identical twins pales in significance (but doesn't disappear entirely!).
