Sardines
"Ricky feels Lucy is neglecting him because she's too busy with their unborn child. He starts getting pregnancy cravings like she is. Sympathy pains. Fred throws him a daddy shower which is good for dads to celebrate. Not sure why it didn't catch on or maybe it has . But the sardines really stole the show for me it's gross to watch Lucy eat sundae with sardines yet funny. Ricky's grossed out but he he starts eating it...."
💡 Did You Know?
When Lucy sits on the chair just before the baby shower, the magazine that she's reading (the January 1953 issue of "McCall's") says, "I Love Lucy" on the cover.
