Episode Four "The Diet" First Aired OCTOBER 29, 1951

This episode I wouldn't suggest watching many times. For one thing it isn't very interesting, and isn't the best moral wise.

This episode is about Lucy finding out that she weighs more than she did when she was married. She was 110 and now is 132. When she auditions for Ricky's club the only reason why she couldn't do it was she couldn't fit in the costume, but Ricky said if she could fit into a size 12, by opening night she could perform.

So Ethel tries to help Lucy lose those few pounds, they try everything exercise, not eating, steaming herself.......

In the end she was able to perform, but afterward she had to stay in bed for three weeks, because she suffered from malnutrition.
