It aired on February 11, 1952, after "Lucy Writes a Play" and before "The Ballet."

3. Lucy told Ethel not to worry if she lost her "diamond" rings because she could always buy another box of __________ __________.

Ethel had left her rings on the piano the night before when they were singing, just before they got into the fight. When Ethel came the next morning to retrieve them, she insisted they were real diamonds, and Lucy responded by simply saying, "Ha!"

4. At what time did Ricky's band play what Lucy called "El Breako the Leaso"?

Answer: 4:30 A.M.

The Mertzes got so annoyed by the noise, they ripped up the lease, so the Ricardos could move without paying the next five months' rent.

5. Before Lucy and Ricky were going to move, the four returned their belongings to each other. Who was the LAST to get his/her belongings back?

Answer: Ethel

After that, Ethel said to Lucy, about her belongings she had given back to her, that everything was there and that she could count them if she wanted. But Lucy said that wasn't necessary because she trusted Ethel. Then the girls started crying, the Ricardos decided to stay, and they forgave each other. Also, Fred wrote up a new lease.
