Recap / The Golden Girls S 05 E 07 That Old Feeling

Go To

Blanche falls in love with her late husband's brother, Jamie.


Tropes:

  • Bait-and-Switch: Blanche meets up with her brother-in-law Jamie to go over her recently deceased mother-in-law's estate. At one point, he says that she kept repeating "I want her to have it" and while Blanche initially thinks that the mother-in-law was going to leave her something of value, Jamie verifies that she meant her soon-to-be fatal disease.
  • Obnoxious In-Laws: Blanche's mother-in-law apparently wished on her deathbed for Blanche to have the disease that was killing her, and according to Blanche, until George died she would always refer to Blanche as "[George's] first wife." When she did pass, Blanche's only response was "I hope the old witch went slowly."
