Dorothy is dating a man she met at The Grocery store, Raymond, but a depressed Sophia encroaches on their relationship, spending time with them. Blanche runs for Fashion show Chairman and enlists Blanche for help.
Sophia The gooseberry, poor Raymond, you have to feel for him, who on Earth could start dating someone, and have their mother in toe, a chilling thought indeed.
There are to be fair some very funny scenes, that moment where Dorothy asks Rose and Blanche for help in choosing pearls or a chain, the responses were hilarious, however, this one is tinged with sadness. It deals with Blanche's relationship with Sophia, the way she puts her first, and Sophia's loneliness.
I'm not sure how or why, but it put me in mind of Steptoe and Son, with Harold desperate for love and life, but shackled to his father, it felt a little similar.
8/10.
