Recap / The Golden Girls S 03 E 05 Nothing To Fear But Fear Itself

Go To

When the Girls fly to the Bahamas for Rose's aunt's funeral, they take the opportunity to cope with some of their phobias.


Tropes:

  • Blatant Lies: At one point while on the plane, Rose finds a random big bolt in the aisle. When the stewardess makes an announcement about said bolt, she very obviously lies and says that it came off of a beverage cart.
  • Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: When Dorothy tries to confront her fear of flying:
    Stewardess: Please review the information cards in your seat pockets for the safety information in the unlikely event of a mishap during our flight.
    Dorothy: Mishap?! What does she mean by mishap?!
    Blanche: She means like bad movies, or cold food, or running out of ice.
    Rose: Running out of gas...
    Dorothy: Oh my God!
  • Kick the Dog: When picturing Rose and Dorothy naked, as soon as Blanche pictures the latter naked, she (and soon Rose) have a good laugh at her expense, especially once she gets up and tries to walk away.
  • Not So Above It All: After Dorothy gets drunk on the plane, she becomes less uptight and even cracks jokes at both Rose and Blanche's expenses.
