Even though I’ve seen this episode 40 times and know Lucy & Desi were millionaires in real life, I still get frustrated that they lost out on an amazing opportunity. I guess it’s a testament to the great writing and acting - and a projection of how I’d feel 😏

[@yoni5570]

I feel exactly the same. My least watched episodes are the ones where Lucy doesn’t win in the end. This one and the Lucy Cries Wolf and a few others.
