Season 6, Episode 18 - "Older and Wiser"

Sophia gets the flu, and the doctor advises resting for at least 3 weeks. Dorothy's busy with work, but Sophia needs a caretaker during the day. How does Dorothy get her mother to willingly go to the retirement home, Cypress Grove?

Answer

She and the owner, Mr. Porter, plan to have Sophia there under the guise of working as the Activities Director.

Dorothy: Rose, I'm concerned about Ma's first day at Cypress Grove.

Rose: Oh! I'm sure she'll do a fine job.

Dorothy: No, Rose, you don't understand. She only thinks that she has a job. I worked it out with the owner, Mr. Porter. This flu has really knocked her for a loop, and her doctor says she has to rest for at least 3 weeks. I've been working so much, I figured this is the only way I can get someone to keep an eye on her during the day.

Rose: Dorothy, that's dishonest!

Dorothy: Well, she wouldn't have gone for it if I told her the truth. And oh! Like you never told a lie?

Rose: That's right! I've never told a lie. Well, just once when I snuck out of class to go to the movies.

Dorothy: That's not much of a lie.

Rose: That's what I thought. Turned out to be the day they taught everything.

Dorothy: The final piece of the puzzle.
