* JerkassHasAPoint: Twice over does Edwina, spoiled diva she is, make a valid point to Roger. First, when Peggy gives Roger an ultimatum about staying with her, Edwina makes a quip remarking how she and Roger wouldn't make a good couple. Especially because Peggy was all too quick to assume he was cheating on her with another woman (even [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext her mother]]). Second, [[spoiler: although her throwing the case was reckless, she points out that not only was falling out of Peggy's favor a blessing in disguise, but winning said-case at hand would've been dishonest and hypocritical. After all, Roger ''was'' helping a cheater get away with sleeping around with multiple women who weren't even his clients. And this was all despite how Roger revered his father as an honest, upstanding role model.]]

To this, Edwina points that at least she has the excuse of being ill and bed-ridden all her life. This leads her to [[ArmorPiercingQuestion pointedly question]] why Roger hasn't lived his life to the fullest despite being healthy and able-bodied.

The plot concerns dying millionairess Edwina Cutwater (Tomlin) who, having never had a real life, makes a deal with her stablemaid Terry (Victoria Tennant) to help the younger woman AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence, allowing Edwina to take over her body with the help of an eccentric Tibetan mystic (Richard Libertini). However, the procedure is screwed up, causing Edwina's soul to instead be passed into Roger Cobb (Martin), her recently-fired lawyer.
