Four mature women live together in Miami and experience the joys and angst of their golden years; strong-willed Dorothy, spacey Rose, lusty Southern belle Blanche and matriarch Sophia, Dorothy's mom, occasionally clash but are there for one another in the end; after all, when the show's theme song is titled "Thank You for Being a Friend," the ladies have to remain friendly with one another.

Blanche's unmarried daughter announces her desire to have a baby.

Flashbacks recall previous attempts by the roommates to lose weight.

Rose has to go and get a job when she loses her late husband's pension, where she is confronted for the first time by ageism.

Sophia learns that the hospital may have switched Dorothy at birth with another baby.
