Lucy and Pat Collins

Lucy meets hypnotist Miss Pat at an expensive fur salon. Lucy drags Mooney to watch Pat's nightclub act, thinking Mooney can cure his insomnia by being hypnotized.

The opening scene is the best part of the episode with Lucy and Mary Jane enjoying a fashion show in the fur salon, where Lucy tries on an outrageously priced 35-thousand dollar coat. Mary Jane's "Why don't you get it?" line to Lucy is hilarious. It's fun to see Lucy put on airs and play rich like she did in Season 3's "Lucy Goes to Vegas". Actually, the whole scene in the salon is reminiscent of the Vegas episode's opening with Lucy and Viv in the hotel lobby.

Miss Pat certainly looks the epitome of mid-Sixties style with her towering beehive hairdo and cat-eye glasses but the nightclub scene is underwhelming. Pat's explanation of hypnosis is extremely dry, Lucy and Mooney aren't really funny when they are "under" and the most notable thing about it is the spooky music that plays during the act - it sounds like the DARK SHADOWS theme.

**Gale Gordon Cartwheel Alert**

The bouncing-balls/jack-in-the-box opening that was introduced in the Season Opener - that Lucille Ball apparently hated -- is dropped here and the opening credits revert back to the kaleidoscope opening.
