    Blanche falls in love.

    Blanche is ecstatic when her mother-in-law dies, and she's excited when her late brother's own brother Jamie arrives. Very quickly, Blanche falls in love with him. Rose is convinced that her car has been stolen.

    It's a good episode, with some funny moments and classic one-liners, the highlight of course being, 'I want her to have it, I want her to have it,' ...'what?,....'the disease.'

    You keep hoping that the girls are going to find love, but it always seems to go wrong. This is another example. I love that Blanche is central to this one; she's hilarious. We learn a bit more about her character here.

    Sophia's story adds a little bit of a serious side. How many older people have had to give up their driving licenses and independence as a consequence?

    I thoroughly enjoyed this episode; it's a cracker.

    8/10.

    Funny!

    George Gizzard says his line backward to Rue Mclanahan when they walked out the door to lunch.

    "You seem so much older than them " about her friends.

      When Sophia returns home from the car accident, she comes into the kitchen and sets her purse down upright. It then cuts to a brief shot in which she is busy taking off her gloves, then a longer shot of the table and the purse is lying on its side.
