If you go down four threads below this one, you will come to one by me called "History Repeats Itself". This thread was mainly about the third-season episode "Daddy's Little Girl". The thing about this episode that I concentrated on was the situation in which Nell left her purse at the restaurant so that the man that she liked would feel obligated to bring it back to her so that she would get a second opportunity to flirt with him. In this instance, Nell, through her own admission, left her purse at her table on purpose. We then fast-forward to similar situations on episodes of "The Golden Girls" and "Fired Up". Now my guess would be that some of the people reading this post are familiar with these series and some are not. Those of you who have watched these shows know what I am writing about and the rest of you can simply improvise in her minds. In the same way that Nell had no problem admitting that she left her purse at the restaurant on purpose, Gwen from "Fired Up" admit that she left her purse at the fire station on purpose. She had the hots for the fireman and she figured that the time that he brought her purse back to her would be an ideal time to continue flirting with him. Naughty, naughty! In between these two episodes, however, we have an episode of the "Golden Girls" that was made in 1987. In this episode, all three of the women who the show was mainly about auditioned for a play that was being put on by a local theater group. The star of this play was a man named Patrick whose last name I do not remember. All three of the babes had the hots for him! After the audition, all three of the women left and then Blanch realized that she conveniently forgot her purse and had to go back. Some viewers will say that the writers
wanted use to think that she genuinely forgot her purse and really needed to go back to retrieve it. Others will say that it was implied that she left it on her chair on purpose so that she would have to go back to retrieve it and, in the process, get another chance to wet Patrick's appetite. I would be very interested in what anyone here thinks.
