Portrait of a Woman (#7.20)

[ComedyFan2010 · 7/10 · 25 February 2014]

Blanche convinces Rose to give Miles a sexy picture of herself for his birthday. Rose agrees especially after she sees him talk to a younger student. But when he unwraps her present his colleagues come over. And Dorothy meets an old student of hers whom she motivated to learn and he wants her to work for him teaching seminars, but the guys there don't want to learn anything new.

A more quiet episode than the ones this season. Not much is happening but we still get to enjoy the cuteness of Rose.

But the outcome of Dorothy story is kind of sad although i guess the good part is that it is realistic as not everything has a happy end. And she can do more good in high school.

Hey mama, who do you prefer? Joe or Tojo?

A recurring gag through this episode has Dorothy at career day falling prey to this gag and being reunited with old student Tom Villard, once a feeling student and now a millionaire from creating video games. Once known as "Attila the Sub", Dorothy is hired by him to be a motivational speaker and discover that the men who show up for the seminars don't even plan on sticking around. She chooses a career over easy cash, but Rose doesn't choose wisely when she takes Blanche's advice for a birthday present for Miles. Rose is completely embarrassed by what happens at the party when Miles opens it in front of everybody, feeling publicly humiliated. The "Joe Mamma" jokes are funny in small doses, although the final one tops them all, up there with Dorothy finding a student on her GED listing roster named Jim Shoo. This was Tom Villard's second appearance on the show, having appeared on the episode where they went to Central America ended up sharing a bathroom with three young men in the adjoining room. As far as Sophia and the new big screen TV, what about that $35,000 that she had saved up earlier in the season?
