After Blanche laments that life has no meaning, Sophia asks if anyone wants popcorn. A deleted scene reveals that Blanche's pacemaker could be affected by the use of the microwave oven. (Later on in the episode the microwave oven is missing from the kitchen after the Dorothy and Rose donated it to Goodwill.) This scene was cut from the DVD because of the threat of a lawsuit from Microwave companies due to the proven fact that modern microwaves are no longer harmful to people with Pacemakers.
