A tumor on Dorothy's foot prevents her from practicing with Rose and Blanche for a dance recital. Though the tumor requires surgery, Dorothy refuses to have it, due to her phobia of hospitals. Meanwhile, Rose and Blanche rework the routine around Dorothy's absence.

Blanche is about to fail her psychology course at the junior college, and her professor ultimately makes her a deal -- he'll give her an A on the final exam, but only if she sleeps with him. Meanwhile, Dorothy tries to score tickets to a Frank Sinatra concert.
