I'd like to say parts of this episode were okay but for the most part it isn't. The real burglar in the apartment and Lucy's refusal to take off the mink even when he threatened to shoot her (she lifts the coat up so not to ruin it, that was funny) and Fred is always good for a laugh but the whole storyline is just bad. Now for the parts that really stinks. Lucy jumps to the conclusion that the coat is for her and can't shut up for a minute to let Ricky explain that it's not. When Ethel tells her the truth she gets obsessed with retaliating against her husband...for what? What exactly is she mad about? It's not like he tried to fool her by buying her the imitation. And on top of it all she gets gifted a new wardrobe and it isn't even her anniversary! Another review called her a brat and I agree completely.
