Recap / The Golden Girls S 07 E 05 Wheres Charlie

Go To

Rose thinks her late husband is using inanimate objects to communicate with her from beyond the grave.


Tropes:

  • Calling the Old Woman Out: Dorothy does this to Sophia when the latter pretends to be possessed by Rose's late husband to scam her, which almost costs Rose her relationship with Miles.
    Dorothy: You're a horrible little person.
    Sophia: Come on, like you never pretended to be possessed by somebody's dead husband for a couple of laughs.
    Dorothy: You know, you have really ruined Rose's relationship with Miles.
    Sophia: If you could have seen her face when I talked like Charlie. I almost wet myself! (laughs)
    Dorothy: Listen, you vindictive little sea monkey… you are going to tell Rose the truth.
    Sophia: Or?
    Dorothy: Remember Shady Pines?
    Sophia: Yeah, it wasn't so bad.
    Dorothy: I hear they sold it to some Germans.
    Sophia: (quickly gets up from the table and exits the kitchen) Rose? Rose, sweetheart? Rose?
    • When Rose learns the truth, she's justifiably angry and heartbroken at Sophia, as well.
      Rose: You mocked my relationship with Charlie, and you nearly ruined my relationship with Miles! How can you be so cruel?!
  • Everyone Has Standards: Dorothy is disgusted when she finds out that Sophia has been manipulating Rose for cheap laughs and a few quick bucks by pretending to be possessed by Charlie.
  • Wholesome Crossdresser: Blanche's baseball-playing boyfriend, Stevie, becomes one after Blanche makes him wear lingerie while playing for her own enjoyment.
