Blanche's Little Girl (Season 3, Episode 14)

WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST! Starting from the beginning of the show, each week we recap an episode of The Golden Girls. Along the way, we sprinkle in researched deep dives into something from the episode or The Golden Girls universe!
In season 3 episode 14 - WELP, CHEESIES... we're at the Rebecca episode. There's no way around it, this episode is problematic from start to finish, BUT that didn't stop Mother and Papa from finding the humor, THE RAGE AT JEREMY (and Sophia!!), and the love for Dorothy not standing for this s**t. ANYWAY, Blanche's daughter comes for a visit. Shenanigans ensue when... well actually there are shenanigans throughout BUT ALSO 80-YEAR-OLD SOPHIA HAS A JOB AND ORGANIZES A STRIKE AGAINST TERRIBLE WORKING CONDITIONS. There's... a lot to get through. So, here we go!
