The doorbell rings and it’s Stan and his brother. The girls come in the living room and Dorothy is thrilled to see Ted. Rose is still confused. When Dorothy announces that Ted is a doctor, Blanche suddenly becomes interested in him. Once she learns he’s divorced she practically sits in his lap. She asks him out.
