Warning: Spoilers
While searching for a trunk to prepare for Ricky's gig out of town touring with the band, Lucy finds her old saxophone from high school and decides to audition so she can go with him. When the audition fails, Lucy decides that she's going to make Ricky jealous by thinking something will be up while he's away. But Ricky becomes aware of what she is up to and decides to get even.

Veteran character actor Herb Vigran guest stars as an associate of Ricky's who sets up a man to come over and hide in the closet so Ricky can catch him there. Charles Victor makes an appearance with a funny twist, but I didn't think that his appearance really resolved everything once Vigran called. Nothing really happens to determine how Ricky and Lucy will deal with the issue of her staying behind while he goes away. While there are many funny moments, that aspect of the episode weakens it.
