A tax refund has Lucy buying shares in the bank. When she tries to help Mooney land the account of an eccentric psychiatrist, Lucy and Viv are mistaken for volunteers for an experiment.
This is another one of those episodes from this period that are very clunky in their execution because the ideas are not tied together very smoothly. Harvey Korman plays the stressed-out financial advisor just like you'd expect him to. Lucy acts self-important and uppity in the bank scene after she's become a shareholder. It's kind of off-putting IMO.
The hypnotism gag never works well for the series and even though Lucy and Viv only pretend to go under this time, the results are what the kids today call "Cringe". It's annoying seeing Lucy and Vivan act like toddlers with cutesy-poo voices and outfits. Oh, and Lucy's on stilts again, but it's not funny at all this time.
