Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough it is widely believed that Blanche's exact age was never revealed, in this episode it is revealed in a flashback that she was 17 in 1949. That would make her 53 years old when the series began in 1985 and 60 when it ended in 1992.
- GoofsDorothy's son Michael is twenty-two years old in season three. When Sophia and Dorothy reminisce Brooklyn, NY, 1954, Dorothy asks Sophia to babysit her children, one of whom is Michael. Sophia refuses, so Dorothy says "I'll just leave them with Stan's mother." They talk about Michael screaming when Stan's mother was watching over them. If Michael was a baby in the fifties, he should be in his thirties in season three.
- Quotes
Blanche Devereaux: [reminiscing with her aged mother in a nursing home on Mother's Day about a teenage affair] I gave Dec back his ID bracelet, that had 'Dec' on one side and 'allergic to the law' on the other, hopped in the car with you and Daddy, and we took off home. I asked you if you were mad at me. You said, "Why no, darlin'. This is the best Mother's Day I've ever had." Don't you remember that, Mama?
Margaret: Well, I thought that happened to Virginia. Wasn't Virginia the slut?
Blanche Devereaux: No, ma'am, that was me.

I watched this show with my aunt and grandma growing up, and then as an older-teen after Will & Grace night, but rewatching it as a bit older adult has added her to the list of new gems I've discovered.
