We open on Ricky sleeping under a Look Magazine, which sort of cancels out the whole point of that publication.
The women are at a home show to tour model homes with beautiful new furniture. Fred says it always makes the ladies unhappy to see better homes than theirs – as opposed to bored, which is what it should make any normal human being.
But the guys know what will cheer up anyone: Tickets to opening night of the latest Rodgers and Hammerstein show.

We open on Ricky sleeping in while Lucy brings coffee to the painters outside the window. For a minute there it looks like she might jump. But Ricky wants his breakfast, as in now. He saves her life.
I wish we could watch Lucy make him that breakfast, but instead we have to watch Ricky dial one of those old rotary phones. Those phones take forever. By the time he’s done, the Academy has nominated a black woman for Best Director. It literally takes centuries.

Welcome back, Ballers! I hope you’ve had a wonderful week. Shall we?
We open on Lucy flipping pancakes, and y’all, she has mastered it. Girl can crash my brunch any day.
