"I think my mother needs to be with her family now.. All of her family.."- Kerstin
Rose: My great-grandfather once removed his neighbour's appendix, and he wasn't even sick!
Dorothy: Why would he do that?
Rose: Let's just say they were playing poker and the stakes got a little high.
Nothing hits you more then watching both parts of this episode for sure (The writing for these two episodes was purely brilliant, pure Golden Girls), and knowing that these episodes show how much family can mean to someone. Rose stating she's from "farm country" and that seeing a doctor isn't in her best interests. (And that even back then that many people take their health for granted and until they have a health issue they finally see what goes around definitely effects them in the future)
And then Blanche comes up with the idea of crashing a reunion.. the quotes that follow are hilarious.
Blanche: We have to know all the basics, you know, like, oh, senior class president, quarterback of the football team, class slut.
Dorothy: Blanche, how do you tell a slut from a yearbook?
Rose: Oh - how do you tell a slut from a yearbook? Uh... you don't have to buy a yearbook dinner!
Blanche: Rose...
Rose: You can take a yearbook home to your parents!
Blanche: Rose!
Rose: There's nothing wrong with having a yearbook on the coffee table!
Dorothy: Rose, this isn't a riddle.
Rose: Well, make it one! I had three good answers!
I'm sure she did have three great answers (sigh), we'll never know what they are.. What ensues next is them all agreeing to go to the Reunion. As they arrive they take names from the "No Show" table. Dorothy becomes Cindy Lou-Peeples, Blanche is Susan Armstrong, Sophia is Myron Zucker and Rose gets to be Kim Fung Toi.
Blanche: Where've you been?
Rose: When no one was looking, I went by the No-Show table and I got four name tags for us! Blanche, you'll be Susan Armstrong... ...and Dorothy, you'll be Cindy Lou Peeples...and Sophia, you're Myron Zucker.Sophia: Rose, you idiot, there's no way I'm ever gonna pass for a man! Dorothy, trade with me?
Dorothy: Go to hell, Myron. Rose, I don't wanna wear this.
Rose: Oh come on, I looked in the yearbook and you're a dead ringer for Cindy Lou Peeples.
Dorothy: I don't know...
Rose: Trust me, it'll work, or my name isn't Kim Fung Toi
As the night continues Rose continues to fall more ill, and Sophia goes off with a student who did Spanish class with Mr Gonzalez (in which she claims he's now dead and the two should do the mamba) , Dorothy is off with Tommy Lunt (No clue to what those two got up to..) and Blanche is trying to get the grasp of Susan Armstrong (Susan had a long history I'll just say that..). A couple of minutes later they get found out that they aren't who they say they are. Sophia says to make a run for it, but the worst happens. Rose grabs her shoulder and says "Dorothy!" before collapsing. Dorothy then says "Look what you've done, you've upset Kim Fung Toi!" Blanche responds and says she isn't kidding, and that Dorothy realising what she said says "someone get help!", the next scene is them at the hospital.
"We would bring her home that's what we would do. If She had a stroke we would take care of her, she's family."
With the doctor giving them an update saying it was "Mild cardiac episode" and she "should be able to go home" but they are "keeping an eye on her condition." as the doctor leaves Blanche is thankful to the Lord and she promises to give up sex (lol), Rose thanks them for being there and asks them another question, that they "should freeze their heads" because she isn't afraid of dying because "whatever killed me I want to be frozen and bought back in the future" or something like that, they reluctantly agree and then go home (of course without Rose).
As Blanche talks to her daughter she is talking about the bible and the kid replies with "I miss Sexy Grandma".. A few minutes later they return to the hospital, Rose is not in her room, as the doctor comes in Dorothy asks where she is and she replies that Rose is being prepped for surgery as she had a cardiac arrest, the girls embrace.
As the other part of the episode starts they are waiting for answers on Rose and if she will be okay or not, they are scared (which is very understandable) as they wait for a doctor they have a good time having a jingle sing-a-long to a beer commercial when Rose's daughter Kerstin says "I'm glad you can enjoy a song.." something to those lines, and she asks if they have any news, they say no they haven't heard anything and the doctor finally comes out and says that Rose needs Triple Bypass and this scares all of them,... naturally. Over the course of the episode they just want Rose to be okay. Kerstin saying in the beginning that Dorothy, Sophia and Blanche are not her real family and that when Rose gets out of hospital that she wants to take Rose home to be with her "real" family. As that argument continues, Kerstin finally sees why Rose loves the girls, because she is having fun and not being stuck at home, and that the hijinks between the girls is what keeps them together. Kerstin stands up to go and see the doctor because she now knows they should be with her because they ARE her family.
As they see Rose lying there in the hospital bed Blanche is wondering "Where is she.. where is Rose now.." we see Rose's dream and that its the future and their headless. We know how Rose dies "In the hospital" and that Dorothy died after falling into a monkey pit at the zoo, and Blanche drowns in the bathtub, Sophia comes in with a new body, and as they continue they say they hate being just heads and that Rose apologises and keeps saying "sorry" until she comes out of her dream and wakes up to say "I'm sorry I died", the girls happy that she's finally awake hug her, and she returns home at the end of the episode to a party where Blanche says "Lets hide" Dorothy then being smart says if its a smart idea to scare someone whose just had heart surgery, they agree not to do it and welcome her home.
These two episodes are important. Because you always want to look after your health, you may "know your own body" but when something isn't right you should always go and get it checked. Sometimes it may be nothing but if its nothing that clears your mind. Please never ignore your health because you are important, every bit of you is important, from your head to your toes. Please look after yourself.
