Blanche's daughter Janet comes to visit and is played by actress Jessica Lundy, who was 26 years old at the time this episode aired. However, in the season 1 episode On Golden Girls (1985) (7 years earlier than this episode), Janet's teenaged son David (played by Billy Jacoby) visits Blanche. That would mean that there was only 2 or 3 years between the ages of Janet and David.
When Rose is in the hospital, she talks to the girls about cryogenics, the process of being frozen after death to be thawed and cured later. She is confusing cryogenics with cryonics.
From the Cryogenic Society of America's website: " ...cryonics is NOT the same as cryogenics. We wish to clarify that cryogenics, which deals with extremely low temperatures, has no connection with cryonics, the belief that a person's body or body parts can be frozen at death, stored in a cryogenic vessel, and later brought back to life."
