Recap / The Golden Girls S 06 E 01 Blanche Delivers

Go To

Blanche doesn't care for how her pregnant daughter, Rebecca, plans to give birth.


Tropes:

  • Amusing Injuries: When Rebecca starts having contractions, Sophia offers her hand for Rebecca to hold during her next contraction. However, the pain from said contraction causes Rebecca to squeeze Sophia's hand instead, causing Sophia pain as the result:
    Sophia: What do you do for a living, crack walnuts?
  • Granola Girl: The midwife at the birthing center is one of these. After Dorothy expresses some reservations about the place, she snidely replies "You're a meat-eater, aren't you?"
  • Inadvertent Entrance Cue:
    Blanche: Oh, this is all wrong! What kind of dope would want to have a baby here?
    Rose: (entering) This place makes me want to run out and get pregnant!
  • New Baby Episode: This episode is all about Blanche's pregnant daughter, Rebecca, coming to Miami to have her baby. Blanche spends much of the episode uneasy because Rebecca doesn't have a husband to support her, and disagrees with Rebecca's decision to deliver her baby at a birthing center. Rebecca changes her mind when she visits the birthing center and hears the painful screams of the women in labor, and she has her baby girl, Aurora, in a hospital room, with Blanche by her side.
  • Screaming Birth
    • One happens offscreen when the girls visit a birthing center.
      Midwife: Sounds like there's a mommy in the making!
      Rose: Sounds like there's a mommy on fire!
      Rebecca: (after another scream) Why is she screaming?
      Sophia: She's conscious.
    • Discussed when Rebecca starts labor.
      Rebecca: I was just wondering what being in labor felt like.
      Dorothy: Oh, how are you feeling now?
      Rebecca: If I had any military secrets, I'd talk.
      Dorothy: Show time!
  • The Voice: The mother in (agonizing) labor at the birthing center is never seen, only heard.
