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 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, "SeƱor 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.

Super Grover

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.

Super Grover

Correction: I think the point is that he was paying for the medicine himself.

Correction: Blanche never looks in the direction of the dead body. She heads straight to the door after coming out the bathroom.

How can you not notice a dead body lying on the bed in front of you?

She thought Kendall was at the door. She never looked at him.

Home Again, Rose (2) - S7-E24

Corrected entry: In the scene with Rose, Dorothy and Blanche, their "heads" are on the table with ice around them. You can see it's just clear jello. Another clue being it doesn't melt at all. (02:17:05)

Correction: This is a dream sequence while Rose is under anesthetic during heart surgery. While it's true that it doesn't look anything like ice, who's to say what should or shouldn't look real in a drug induced dream?

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.'
