"I'm Gonna Visit People in Nursing Homes"
kgraovac26 June 2022
A great early episode that has the ladies spending the night together to chaperone a slumber party for Mary-Jo's daughter. The unseen Consuela figures largely in the plot, as she has put a hex on Suzanne.

Some nice moments where Suzanne shows vulnerability, although Charlene and Mary Jo seem about 10 yrs too young to have grown up with Annette Funicello (whom they reference). Julia is more likely to have known who Annette was, but she's the one who doesn't seem to know her.

One of the best Season 1 episodes.

Suzanne's curse gives the ladies an opportunity to bond.

Warning: Spoilers
For the first time in Designing Women history, the women utilize The Twilight Zone theme every time something weird happens, and this episode is filled with weird situations. It seems that Suzanne's made, Consuela, has put a curse on Suzanne and has told her that she's going to die viciously at midnight. They decide to have a slumber party at Mary Jo's house and share various secrets, give constructive criticism towards each other and realize how much they all admire the others. A funny episode if somewhat eerie and creepy, this shows the four women acting goofy and childlike and Mary Jo's daughter Claudia acting like the mother and telling them to knock it off. Nothing really significant happens here other than the four women revealing the truth about how they feel and Julia playing the protective older sister towards Suzanne once again. It's another night where literally the lights do go out in Georgia.
