Ricky sells the car and doesn't bother to inform any of them. Then he buys tickets back to New York for Lucy , her mother and himself (Little Rick doesn't need one) he totally blocks out the Mertz's. Lucy can't believe it ( neither can I!) Lucy spends the entire episode trying to make peace between everyone. I really have to hand it to her she was the most mature of all of them in this one. Lots of funny bits - Fred and Ethel trying to leave on an old motorcycle, Ethel and Fred fighting over the motorcycle and Ethel telling Fred to accept Ricky paying for the tickets but not the motorcycle, Lucy siding a bit with Fred and rubbing his sore shoulders making Ethel jealous! Also Lucy trying to switch the tickets in Fred's wallet ( because they are a cheaper option) and Ethel walking in on it! Lucy hiding from them but then admits what she was trying to do. Turns out it's fine with them . Lucy had given them their tickets as a promise they would get their own later. Fred had turned them in leaving all but Lucy's mother with the cheaper ones. But Ricky gets the original ones back and all ends happily.

Ricardos versus Mertz

Warning: Spoilers
This is a good episode but it starts off strange. Nothing that happens in that first segment has anything to do with the rest of the episode. It's strictly filler and not particularly funny.
Once the episode gets going though it's non stop fun. Ricky sells the car . I don't know why they don't want it but at least it gives us the brilliant train episode that follows.
He for some reason forgets to buy tickets for the Mertz's and from then on it's pure chaos and hilarity! Each has their own role to play. Ricky and Fred are both thinking about the money, Ethel out grouches Fred and Lucy is the peacemaker. It's the only time I can remember Lucy being the sanest one and still funny. The ongoing thing with the tickets and the motorcycle scene and the fallout from that makes for an enjoyable episode.
