This episode has two amusing plot lines but the execution of them messes it up. It's a storyline of misconceived notions with Lucy and Ethel believed to be pregnant and also believing that Ricky has been drafted. Ricky has gotten an offer to entertain at Fort Dix and for some reason agree to do one of Fred's old Vaudeville routines, a civil war sketch that doesn't appear to be amusing at all. It is a bold plan going away parties for Ricky, and a bunch of guests end up in the closet and pretty much forgotten. The episode ends with a Christmas-themed surprise involving Santa Claus and a tree that appears out of nowhere and Ricky singing Jingle Bells in Spanish. Only a few laughs pop up in this episode, so this is probably the first unmemorable episode.
