FACTS OF LIFE, THE: COUSIN GERI (TV)
Summary
One in this comedy series about four female students learning about the facts of life from a surrogate mother.
In this episode, Blair wins a fine arts prize and her cousin Geri arrives for the awards dinner. Geri is a standup comedienne who has cerebral palsy. While Edna and the others enjoy her company, Blair behaves rudely and ignores her cousin. Unwilling to admit she is jealous or embarrassed, Blair is profoundly uncomfortable with her cousin around.
