In Episode 5 of “The Goldbergs” Season 10, titled “Uncle-ing,” Erica Goldberg finally gives birth to her daughter. While the road leading up to the episode’s heartwarming conclusion is, in typical “Goldbergs” fashion, full of unnecessary detours and unforeseen obstacles, too, “Uncle-ing” still manages to stick the landing. In fact, just in case the episode’s climactic recap of Erica’s journey to becoming a mother wasn’t emotional enough, “Uncle-ing” ends by revealing that she and her husband, Geoff Schwartz (Sam Lerner), have named their daughter Muriel Allison Goldberg Schwartz. The name is, of course, a homage to both Erica’s father, Murray (Jeff Garlin), and her grandfather, Albert (George Segal).
With all this in mind, to say that the episode has been received well by fans of “The Goldbergs” would be an understatement. On Twitter, @lynneaosborn tweeted, “I loved all the Beverly/Erica flashbacks and I loved the episode,” while another “Goldbergs” fan wrote, “Muriel Allison is THE cuteste [sic] name ohmygosh.” Elsewhere, @meelees tweeted, “I’m so glad I had my tissues ready! What a special episode.”
All of this is to say that, while “The Goldbergs” has already delivered more than its fair share of notable moments over the years, it looks like Muriel’s birth still made quite the impression on the ABC series’ fans. Now, all that remains to be seen is where Erica, Geoff, and Muriel go from here.
