Recap / The Golden Girls S 02 E 010 Love Rose

Go To

"Love, Rose" is an episode in the second season of The Golden Girls.

Blanche and Dorothy write letters from a fictitious suitor in response to Rose's previously-unanswered personals ad, in hopes of cheering her up after a prolonged "dating slump." Meanwhile, Sophia is pursued by an English gentleman she met at the senior center.


Tropes:

  • Fancy Toilet Awe: Rose has bad dating luck, so Blanche and Dorothy invent a fictional suitor named "Isaac Newton" (Blanche's idea) and send her phony love letters. Things go sour when Rose finds an Isaac Q. Newton in the phone book and invites him to a gala the girls are attending. When Blanche and Dorothy hesitantly tell Rose the truth, she runs into the ladies' room, which is connected to a powder room/lounge. Isaac, who's a nice guy, if a little dense, follows the group into the lounge and, thinking the whole thing is the bathroom, remarks that a giant couch is the fanciest toilet he's ever seen.
