After a good friend of Sophia's passes away, Sophia decides to follow in her footsteps -- and become a nun. Meanwhile, Blanche gets in an accident while borrowing Rose's car.

Strange happenings: Blanche is shocked when she finds out her late husband George has seemingly returned from the grave; meanwhile, both Lyle Waggoner and Sonny Bono vie for Dorothy's affections.

Both Sophia and Rose take advice from Blanche that lands each of them in hot water. Due to a drought in St. Olaf, Rose swears to be celibate and Blanche advises her not to tell Miles the truth. While Sophia takes Blanche's tips to lure a man to bed but when she tells him she loves him, he doesn't respond with what she hoped.
