The Ricardos and Mertzes finally head for Europe on the U.S.S. Constitution. Everything looks normal as they board the ship and hear the announcements and fog horns - giving warning that the ship will leave soon. Lucy has to say one more goodbye to Little Ricky with his grandmother. She gets tangled up and the ship starts to move. Ricky tries to help to no avail.
After a series of gaffs, Lucy take a helicopter to land on the deck of the Constitution. More funny interplay with the Pilot and the landing is near. More fun ensues, until Lucy is safe on deck with Ricky. Lucy is the star of this show and jumps right in. One of the best episodes!

You don't know what it's like to be a mother, mother.

This has to be one of the best episodes of the show. At least to me. It starts simple Lucy gets caught in the bicycle to missing the ship to missing another ship to flying a helicopter. It is the most expensive episode to make, and it was worth it. Only this could happen to Lucy. I love how it starts off innocent saying goodbye to her mother, son, and neighbor and saying goodbye to her son again, the boat is starting to move, and something gets in the way. Her interaction with the helicopter pilot is fun to watch. The part I never noticed is Desi accidentally kicking Vivian in the face after he gets dragged by Lucy on the harness.
