Let Them Eat Cheesecake: A Golden Girls Podcast

Rose's sister, who happens to be blind, is in this episode. She hasn't quite gained the level of independence she needs and asks Rose to move in with her in Chicago.

"The Center" closes and Rose faces the tough task at finding a job at the age of 55 with some large gaps in work history. Dorothy provides her usual TOUGH LOVE to try to make Rose understand how important it is for her to find a job. Rose does understand how important it is, but she's facing some ageism in the search for employment.

This is one strange episode. We dig into what we find so odd, off-putting, and delightful about it.

The ladies have an important dinner coming up and face lots of decisions on dresses and dates, but then the flu strikes!

To help her get a promotion at the museum, Blanche is trying to get her degree, and she's struggling in her psychology course. Her slimy professor offers her an A for the semester if she'll sleep with him. Well, Blanche just can't stand for this and tries to get the dean on her side before she realizes she's just going to have to tackle the situation herself and earn that A by studying.

Meanwhile, the other ladies are obsessed with seeing Frank Sinatra in concert, but acquiring (and then selling) tickets is a little tougher than they expected.

The ladies have a plumbing issue, and after a highly-priced quote, Rose suddenly remembers she's a plumber. Who needs those sexist plumbers anyway?! Well, while Rose and Dorothy work on the plumbing (and Sophia doubts their abilities), Blanche is off being wined and dined by Richie Rich. The problem there is that Blanche isn't ready to return to motherhood for his young children.

You'll hear us discuss this episode, but we want to know what you think of soft toilet seats.

Dorothy, Blanche, and Rose are taking part in a dance routine, but Dorothy pulls up lame. As it turns out, she needs an operation! Well, Dorothy is a bit of a scaredy-cat. Enjoy, as we discuss this episode.

Lucy, Blanche's niece, comes to town to interview with a college, and she decides to take this opportunity to let her inner-Blanche shine. The problem is, she goes a little overboard, and Blanche realizes she needs to step in and give her a little reality check.

Rose's daughter and granddaughter are in town, apparently, so her daughter can get her grubby hands on Rose's loot. Well, it's pretty clear that Rose is hiding something, and common sense tells us, there's not as much money in the "estate" as some people think.

Rose sneaks a man into her bedroom one night, and he dies! What do you do when someone dies in your bed? You don't call the authorities. You drive to his house and tell his wife that her husband was cheating on her AND he died.

Dorothy falls in love, and everything is great until we find out that Glenn is married! He doesn't see any problem because the marriage has been over for years, but Dorothy is disgusted by his lack of honesty. However, their connection was so strong, she ends up going back to him. Rose is appalled but Blanche sees no problem with it. Sophia is disappointed and knows Dorothy hates herself. How will the situation end? Watch the episode and then listen to our discussion.
