This is the second of two episodes that has Lucy being part of the Danfield Police Department---before the idea is quickly dropped. The funny thing about this one is that they have put Lucy in a stereotypically masculine profession, yet the Lover's Lane scene has her appearing more feminine than she usually did in the majority of other installments.
I know Lucille Ball did not want the character tied down with a boyfriend, but I wonder if this is one of those instances where the writers were trying to combat the nickname the show was getting because of the central pairing of Lucy and Viv---The Dyke Show Sans Dicks.
Either way, it's not an outstanding episode but one you will watch once and then forget. I hadn't seen it since the mid-Nineties on Nick@Nite and didn't remember much about it before watching this second time around.
