One of my favorites from season 2 and might be overlooked. The reason I like it is because the restaurant scene and the clothing store makes me laugh every time. The restaurant scene with Frank Nelson as the waiter is really good he and Lucy have good chemistry. And at the store where Lucy pretends the mannequin man is her old boyfriend to make Ricky jealous is hilarious. You can hear the audience cracking up its Lucy's talent that makes it funny.

Overlooked classic

Warning: Spoilers
I don't know why this one doesn't get much attention . It's funny and well paced.
The foursome is going out to dinner and go to a new restaurant. Frank Nelson plays the waiter and once again proves to be the perfect one playing opposite Lucy.
The trouble is Lucy can't make up her mind on what to order for dinner as she keeps changing her original order when someone else orders something that sounds better. She also isn't satisfied with the table they have and keeps moving the others around from one place to another. It all plays out with the waiter's growing frustration until he quits !
After that Ricky insist Lucy finish everything she starts so she includes and old love letter to another man.
Thinking Ricky mailed it to annoy Lucy she and Ethel go to see him and explain. He now owns a fancy fur salon. Lucy says he was always a gorgeous hunk of man but when they overhear a customer talking to a short , bold stocky man with the same last name Lucy is shocked. Ethel " that's a gorgeous hunk of man?!" No one could deliver a line like Vivian Vance!
Lucy " looks like my hunk has shrunk" . They decide to leave but see Ricky and Fred so they go in and Ethel pretends to be looking for a coat and get the old boyfriend out of sight. Lucy pretends to be a mannequin so she isn't noticed. As Ricky and Fred enter Lucy has a tall , male mannequin in her arms like he's her old flame. She pretends to dance with him but his top half comes off ! Funniest thing ever! Ethel comes out and tells Lucy the man they saw was her old boyfriend's brother. They couldn't be more different her old boyfriend is even more than she expected.
Underrated for sure.
