S1 Ep2 Guess Who's Coming to the Wedding

This episode begins as Dorothy freaks out about her daughter Kate possibly getting lost because Blanche gave her the directions and a woman who has lived in Miami for years would obviously have no idea how to navigate the city. Dorothy explains that Kate has been dating a doctor for 6 months and she believes Kate will announce an engagement.
Blanche lets everyone know how shallow she is by saying she doesn't care about the doctor's family background because he makes a lot of money.

He could rob banks and Blanche wouldn't give a hoot

At this point the door bell rings and Kate arrives without her doctor boyfriend named Dennis because he's out at a seminar or something I don't really care about him because there is a more pressing issue at the moment. Now, as we are told time and time again, Dorothy was married to Stan Zbornak for 38 years because she became pregnant. Kate does not look 40 (because it had been two years since Dorothy and Stan divorced).

Whatever I guess let's just keep going. Kate tells everyone that she and Dennis will be flying out to the Bahamas to get married in a day's time. Dorothy is at first thrilled and then not so thrilled as the news sinks in that the wedding will be in the Bahamas.

Dorothy says she has always dreamed of giving Kate a wedding and Kate reminds her that Stan will have to be invited as he's her father. Dorothy bribes her with live doves which is weird and not very enticing. Finally Dorothy is persuaded and for the second time in as many episodes, a wedding will take place at their house. Dorothy has an uncomfortable phone conversation with Stan and invites him after calling him a "yellow bellied sleazeball." Dorothy proceeds to make more weird faces and the conversation ends.

The next day Dorothy and Sophia are making some stupid wedding favors when Rose calls Blanche and Dorothy to the living room. She says Sophia has been stealing cheese balls Rose has made for the wedding and I'm still not sure why Rose is doing the catering in the first place.

The doorbell rings and we are greeted by Kate and Dennis.

Dorothy says he looks beautiful but in actuality he looks like a big dweeb. The girls sit Dennis down and give him the third degree and we find out he's a podiatrist. I'm not sure why they're all disgusted by this profession because he's still a doctor and does medical stuff. Rose asks if he knows Dr. Scholl, filling her stupid remark quota for the episode.

The rest of this scene is boring. Dorothy makes more jabs at Stan, everybody looks uncomfortable and Dennis continues to look like a dweeb.

The next day (because apparently weddings are very quickly organized in this universe) Dorothy walks out in a stunning pink number and gets the door. We finally meet Stan.

I just realized that's not a skirt, it is a pair of pants.

Just letting everyone know we'll be seeing this outfit again

 She slams the door in his face and he says she must not have recognized him. She says she did and that's why she slammed the door. She remarks, "that is some toupee you're wearing."
Rose enters the room and Dorothy introduces both Stanley and his hair which is probably one of the funniest moments on this show. Rose replies, "it's a pleasure to meet you both."

We see the second wedding dress of the show and I'm still wondering how all of this came together so quickly.

Stan commends Dorothy for inviting him and Dorothy makes some weird barking noises at him. Dorothy continues to growl and everyone heads to the church which again, how did they book all of this?

Here we are at the breathtaking wedding reception. Pretty much all I saw here were like, 12 people total. No friends of Dennis or Kate and no sign of Dennis' parents. This can be explained away because they probably just saw people on the street and invited them seeing as this whole thing was thrown together in a day.

Stan and Dorothy keep exchanging rude remarks and Dennis still looks like a boring dweeb. Rose going on about the cheese balls and I don't know why this is a sub plot.

Dorothy retreats to her bedroom which we see for the first time.

Not enough brown

Sophia tells Dorothy she's being foolish blah blah.

Dorothy leaves her room and gives Kate advice to be Dennis' lover and more weird stuff that parents shouldn't say.

Dorothy brings Stan out on the lanai and chews him out in an impassioned speech with highlights like gallbladder surgery and diapers. After ripping his toupee off, she can finally say goodbye to him.

The girls come and see if she's alright after Stan leaves and she said there will always be a part of him with her.

in one of the more gross scenes of the episode after the lover part, Dorothy holds up Stan's toupee.

Gross stop holding that thing

This episode begins a long line of inconsistencies throughout the show. That's a pretty big achievement considering it's the second episode.
