From Here to the Pharmacy - S7-E12
Corrected entry: Blanche is at the pharmacy talking to her boyfriend who is the pharmacist. A woman comes in talking about her son having a fever. He goes behind the counter and gives her a bottle of medicine which she somehow doesn't have to pay for.
Correction: I think the point is that he was paying for the medicine himself.
Miles to Go - S6-E15
Continuity mistake: In this episode Rose's boyfriend Miles is revealed to be in the witness protection program and has not had any contact with people from his past including family. However, in season 5, episode 15 his daughter visited and didn't approve of Rose.
Sophia: Rose, just remember, you're smarter than people say you are. You've got good sense, and you know what you're doing.
Rose: Oh, Sophia.
Sophia: Blanche, you're a slut.
Blanche: Oh, Sophia.
Trivia: Although she appeared to be an 80 year old on the show, the late Estelle Getty (born 7/25/23) was younger than her costars Betty White (born 1/17/22) and Bea Arthur (born 5/14/22); and Rue was the youngest of the four (2/21/34). Estelle at first was turned down for the role of Sophia (because she was too young). It was only after she came back dressed in a gray wig, thrift store dress, and heavily made-up, that she got the part.
Question: How exactly did the girls' (sans Dorothy) husbands die?
Chosen answer: Rose's husband Charlie died making love to her. There are at least 3 different ways Blanche's husband George is said to have died: 1. Blanche was getting a pedicure when he was killed. 2. He had a car accident and died. 3. He had been in a coma and died. In theory they could all be combined (he had a car accident, fell into a coma, then died while she was having a pedicure), but that's conjecture. I'm not sure how Sophia's husband Sal died.
The episode where Blanche said her husband was in a car accident, she said she was on the phone with an officer (who was eating potato chips, crunch) who was at the scene of the accident, and the officer said George was hit head on and died.
Answer: According to one episode when Dorothy was sick on the couch and Blanche was trying to get her up, Sophia brings Dorothy a hot toddy to which Dorothy says 'that's an awful lot of whisky.' Sophia says she ran out of whisky awhile ago and this one was vodka and amaretto. She said 'that should kill everything. It killed your father.'

Correction: I do believe that was actually the whole point. Bill tells Blanche that although he was a hero when he served in the Persian Gulf, in the States he is just an ordinary guy. When the distraught woman rushes in she says, "Señor Bill," so she obviously knows Bill, and when she tells him about her son's fever, he helps by giving her an over-the-counter medicine for the fever, free of charge, then tells her the name and address of a doctor if the boy's fever persists. Because of Bill's kindness, Blanche tells him he is still a hero even out of the military.

Hes wearing a name tag so obviously she knows his name. Pharmacists don't just give away medications.
The woman is calling out to Bill just as she walks through the doorway. She already knew Bill's name, before she even got close enough to Bill to see his name on the small name tag pin. As for your statement that "pharmacists don't just give away medications," Bill hands the worried mother a bottle of what looks like a fever reducing liquid ibuprofen, for her child. This is non-prescription and inexpensive. Bill's thoughtful kindness is the point of this short scene. This is not a "character mistake" or any other type of mistake.
