My favourite Sophia moment is when she convinces her suicidal friend that life is worth living after all. A very sweet gesture from the otherwise cynical Sophia.

I can understand Martha. If the day comes that I think it should be over for me, I would do the same thing. I just wish that when I decide to end it, the people I love are around and would be there to support me through it. Have a happy day and when I close my eyes, all I want to see are all their smiling faces.

Thereafter she concentrated her career on stage instead.

It’s bittersweet to see Betty had the line “What happens when there’s only one of us left?” and that was her. I do think she found the answer, though. She squeezed a whole lot of life into her time. Like she had the energy and love of life for all of them put together.

My favorite scene in the episode featuring Philomena and Dominic Bosco is when Dorothy (shaken by the possibility that Sophia isn't her mother) is in bed with Sophia and in turmoil emotionally, saying that she really needs a parent right now to tell her everything's going to be all right, and suddenly Dominic appears next to her and says "Don't-a worry, baby ... everything's a-gonna be molto bene", causing Dorothy to scream in surprise. Love that moment.
