The Custody Battle (Season 1, Episode 12)

The Golden Girls Deep Dive Podcast

WELCOME TO EPISODE 12 OF THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST! Starting from the beginning of the show, each week we recap an episode of The Golden Girls and we end each episode with a fully researched deep dive into something from the Golden Girls universe!

Dorothy’s wealthy sister, Gloria, comes for a visit. Shenanigans ensue when Sophia decides she’s going to leave Miami and go to California to live with Gloria full time. Meanwhile, Blanched and Rose are auditioning for the community theater production of Macbeth and Blanche is willing to… go to any lengths to get the role of her dreams.

For this week’s deep dive, Patrick is giving us a full biography of Phil Petrillo. The character is Dorothy’s brother and Sophia’s son who we always hear a lot about, but we never see. Turns out there’s a lot more to this character than what we hear about on the show, and Patrick is gonna tell you all about it.

Our episodes are researched by Jess McKillop, Patrick Hinds, and Jennifer Simard. Visit our website for a full list of sources. Follow us on Instagram and TikTok at @GoldenGirlsDeepDive
