Blanche and the Younger Man
This was a good episode because it showed that all mothers and sons turn around and treat their parents like children at some point. I think it was a good episode as it proved that although Rose cornered her mother, she did it out of loving and understanding. I think Alma was a very funny character and the connection between her and Sophia was very funny.

Dorothy: The only time I get in that position is when I give birth.
Rose: I want you all to meet my mother, Mrs. Lindstrom. THIS IS BLANCHE AND THIS IS DOROTHY AND SOPHIA!
Dorothy: VERY NICE TO MEET YOU. TELL ME HOW WAS YOUR TRIP?
Alma Lindstrom: IT WAS JUST FINE!
(to Rose)
Alma Lindstrom: Which one of them is hard of hearing?
Alma: I hired a farm hand. He was such a nice young man. He raved about my cooking. I guess they didn't feed him very well in prison.
Blanche: Why Dirk, did I just hear you ask me for a date?
Sophia: Are you deaf? I heard him from here.
Dorothy: My God, I hope Alma's all right.
Sophia: Don't worry about Alma. She's a tough old broad!
