Episode 40: I Ate Life Once

Enough Wicker: Intellectualizing the Golden Girls

Anyone who knows the kind and gentle Rose Nylund knows she would do anything for a friend or a neighbor, even if that included making two wedding cakes. This attitude gets the best of Rose and she ends up in the hospital with what thankfully turns out to just be an esophageal spasm (try to say that three times fast). After what she interprets as a near-death experience, Rhonda (oops, we mean Rose!) embraces a lifestyle that would seemingly go against the doctor's orders of staying out all night and partying with her new beach friends. As is often the case with minor tifts on Richmond Street, Rose packs up and moves out. The girls thankfully reconcile and all ends well, but wow what a ride!
