Baby Pictures: Lucy’s jealousy over Carolyn Appleby’s (Doris Singleton) baby as compared with Little Ricky is not advantageous to Ricky’s upcoming appearance on a TV show hosted by Carolyn’s husband.
Lucy Tells the Truth: Lucy bets Ricky that she can tell the truth for 24 hours and drives everyone crazy.
The French Revue: Ricky bets Lucy $50 that she won’t be able to sneak into his new French review club act.
Redecorating the Mertzes’ Apartment: Lucy helps Ethel & Fred redecorate their apartment, including new paint and new upholstery . This is a classic example of Lucy engaging in meddling in her friends’ affairs, to hilarious results (I love the scene with the fan and the down pillow, for example), to her own hurt. ("What happened to your mink?” “You’re sitting on it.”—you need to see the episode to appreciate that exchange)
Too Many Crooks: Ricky thinks Lucy is the notorious “Madame X” that has been robbing nearby apartments; she’s really been collecting objects for a club bazaar.

The Million-Dollar Idea: Lucy & Ethel’s TV commercial to sell Lucy’s salad dressing ends up doing much better than expected.
Ricky Minds the Baby: Ricky doesn’t do as good a job as Lucy of taking care of Little Ricky.
The Charm School: Lucy & Ethel go to charm school to keep Ricky & Fred interested in them.
Sentimental Anniversary: Lucy & Ricky want to have a quiet wedding anniversary, but Fred & Ethel have other ideas.
Fan Magazine Interview: Lucy & Ricky prepare for a fan magazine interview, but a quarrel between them could change the interview outcome.

Bonus Bucks: Lucy & Ethel become obsessed with trying to win money with ‘bonus bucks’.

The Black Wig: To test Ricky’s fidelity, Lucy dons a black wig to tempt him; but Fred knows all about the scheme.
The Diner: When Ricky decides to quit show business, he & Fred purchase a diner; but everyone isn’t too happy with their new duties. When Fred & Ethel refuse to work behind the counter while Ricky & Lucy greet the customers, reversing roles is hilarious but doesn’t work, as does literally dividing the diner in half - ending with a classic pie fight.
