Lucy and Harry plot to spend an evening out alone without Viv and Eddie tagging along.
This is a fan-favorite but IMO it's nothing special. The first half of the episode is actually kind of tedious, with lots of arguing about where the couples should dine and what movie they should see. (BTW, their choices are BEN HUR, TWO ON A SEESAW and WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE). While watching this I couldn't help but think what it would have been like had Lucy and Viv done some sort of BABY JANE parody in an episode.
There is a sequence in a train station that drags on and on (see also Season 2's "Lucy is a Process Server"). The final act in the restaurant is the only funny part, where Eddie and Viv are seated and their food arrives immediately (Lucy and Harry had already ordered, then hid) and seeing a hungry Lucy under the table, trying to score bites of food without being caught.
