There's for example, the one (https://goldengirls.fandom.com/wiki/Rose_and_Fern) where it was revealed that Miles had been cheating on Rose for years with a woman named Fern played by Nanette Fabray. And to add insult to injury, Fern and Miles wind up getting married at the hotel.

And there's the one about (https://goldengirls.fandom.com/wiki/One_Angry_Stan) Stan faking his own death so he wouldn't go to prison for tax evasion and he could flee the country. But only Sophia knows the truth. There's a brutal final scene with Sophia bursting into tears as she admits she loves Stan.

I assumed that Stan DID die and that it was Sophia’s grief that manifested in it seeming that he was alive.
