* The episode ''High Anxiety'' reveals that Rose had become heavily dependent on painkillers. The addictive thing about opioids is that they produce a euphoric high that makes the user more relaxed, cheerful, and sometimes more social...and higher doses can make the user seem out of it and not make much sense. Before the revelation of the episode, how many of Rose's scatterbrained moment could've possibly been her under the effects of the pills?

** Depending on how long she'd been getting them, they may have been doing a number on her brain function, too.

* Dorothy being the one to give a DareToBeBadass to Blanche's grandson makes perfect sense - she's a ''teacher'', she probably sees troubled students all the time.

She even says that time they were in jail because they were caught up in a prostitution raid that it wasn't that different from the public school system.

***Actually, it makes sense on one end or another, depending on how you read into it. On one end, you could read it Big Daddy "compartmentalizing" Viola, where, despite being racist towards black people, she's his exception, in some form, to that prejudice, while, on another end, if ya'll remember that episode of ''The Golden Palace'', he might've been more ignorant, which is to say, he, on a personal level, had no issues with black people but, at the same time, wasn't against any bigotry in any form either, since it was normal to him.

* In some episodes, Rose is seen at ridiculous early hours in the morning for whatever reason (i.e. to bake or to look out for robbers). This odd talent makes sense given that she was raised on a farm, where Rose would have to wake up at hours as early as 4'o clock a.m.

* Crossing over with Fridge Sadness: Most episodes play Blanche's obsession with remaining youthful and hiding her true age for a joke. The second season opener, "End of the Curse," plays more seriously--when Blanche starts going through menopause, she has a nervous breakdown. The girls take her to see a psychiatrist, and she explains her greatest fear: "You know sometimes, when I look in the mirror, I see my mother's face...it scares me to death. It just scares me to death." But it isn't until the episode "Mother's Day" that we find out why looking like her mother is so terrifying to Blanche--Mrs. Hollingsworth developed severe Alzheimer's as she grew older and eventually reached a point where, on some days, she ''couldn't remember who she was.'' That's what age means to Blanche: losing her entire identity and becoming helpless.
