Always Be My Sisters

When Blanche and her daughter Rebecca 2.0 have a visit, it seems they’ve made that awkward transition from child/parent relationship to parent, child, adult friend relationship. That is until Rebecca announces she’s made a major life decision that rubs Blanche the wrong way. As the days go on, Rebecca hopes her mother can be open enough to accept her choices, but it won’t be that easy. So join us as we visit a sperm bank, talk about long rubber gloves, and scream for the governess in The Accurate Conception.

It’s part two of our season 5 opener! Still feeling sick and tired, Dorothy visits even more doctors, but this time, she’s believed! Finally getting answers, Dorothy is ready to celebrate. Another housemate feeling celebratory, and perhaps more than a bit loopy is Blanche, who claims she has finished her great American novel. But she also claims egg yolks in a bag are eyeballs, so she’s not in a place to be trusted. In the end, Dorothy gets to give a bit of a comeuppance, Sophia gets to give a spit take, Rose gives Blanche a what-for, and Blanche, well, she screams. So join us now for part two of Sick and Tired.

When Dorothy comes down with a mysterious illness, she begins the epic journey of diagnosis via multiple opinons. Sadly for Dorothy, she’s an unwell woman in 1989. So every male doctor she’s seen has dismissed her claims as being due to either old age or a mental health issue. But she won’t give up and neither will Sophia- the protective mother always by her side…helping. While Dorothy deals with all of that and Rose supports her, Blanche is busy pursuing her destiny as a romance novel writer…even if she hasn’t written a single word. Come along as we go to the doctors, a BBQ and New York City in Part 1 of Sick and Tired. 

We’ve made it to part 2 of the two-part season finale! Join us as we wrap up season 4 with some visits to seasons 1, 2, and 3. This journey will take us to Gone with the Wind, Suzanne Somers, Bob Hope, Anita Bryant, screaming chickens, Swept Away, and Ellen Burstyn! Through all of this, there really is only one question- will Blanche sell the house? Let’s find out as we finish the season with We’re Outta Here Part 2.

It’s the end of the season, almost, and it’s a clip show! How dare they end the season with not just a clip show made up of old clips, not original ones like Bedtime Stories or Rites of Spring. Oh no, it’s a TWO PARTER! Now that’s just rude. But it’s fun to revisit some of the best times from the past 4 seasons. Even if it’s just clips will we have a great time, of course! So let’s get to dancing, praying and showbiz chickens in part one of We’re Outta Here!!

When Sophia’s old friends come to town, they have some exciting news- their daughter is getting married! They also have some surprising news- their daughter isn’t the woman they brought with them, it’s Dorothy! This is devastating to the Patrillo women who are left wondering if they’re actually related to each other. Will they take a blood test? Will our hearts collectively break learning they aren’t? Will Blanche ever learn how to make her body sexy at her dirty dancing class? Will we be able to purchase Rose’s athletic dancewear line? All of that and more in today’s episode, Foreign Exchange.

When the girls realize it’s almost time for their friend’s summer kickoff party, they then also realize they need to get into shape for said party. As they sit around the table commiserating, they try to come up with new ways of losing weight quickly by revisiting other attempts they’ve made at improving their appearance in the past. So join us as we join the girls as they give aerobics a try, seek self-esteem with a new hairdo, and reject a new way of thinking- brought to them by Stan. Will the girls lose the few pounds they feel they need to? Will Sophia find her missing pound? Will we, as a culture, ever stop valuing ourselves based on our appearance? All of that and more in today’s episode, Rites of Spring.

When Sophia learns her friend has been sent to a care facility that makes Shady Pines look like the Ritz-Carlton, she goes into action. But helping a friend who needs to be taken care of takes more than goodwill. Will Lillian become a permanent resident on Richmond Street? Will Rose get arrested for adult-napping? Will Blanche’s boobies become bigger, bouncier, and more bountiful? All of that and more in today’s episode- Sophia’s Choice. 

When Rose’s little sister comes to town, she’s not excited. She’s always felt like her sister had it out for her. That she was building a campaign against her so Rose would be left out. The girls don’t believe her, or that her sister is fooling with Blanche’s beau. Will Rose be vindicated? Will her sister get busted? Will Sophia ever find Dreyfus the dog after losing him? All of that and more in today’s episode- Little Sister.

After Sophia accidentally disposes of Rose’s medication, everyone learns she’s been addicted to prescription medication for 30 years! So it’s time for the girls to band together and support their friend. Even though Sophia and Dorothy have a pizza commercial to shoot in the morning, they’re happy to stay by Rose’s side to get through the night. Their intentions are good, but will they help cure Rose’s addiction, and will Dorothy and Sophia kickstart their acting career with their commercial? Will we learn more about the video equipment in Blanche’s room? All of that and more in today’s episode, High Anxiety.
