Since hearing something similar somewhere on TV long ago, I've long been rigourous about snipping any piece of plastic that may strangle ducks or whatever. Now I'm wondering if this is where I heard it. Even though I can't remember the scene specifically  It's sad that Barbara Bel Geddes's final scene was so unmemorable. I imagine it was assumed she'd be back for a few episodes here and there in future seasons. It is kind of in character for Ellie to come and go with the minimum of fuss, but at least there was a milestone for the character the last time she left the show. Up to a point I quite enjoyed wisecracking Lucy. But you can have too much of a good thing. It's a long time since I've watched the last few seasons, but I seem to remember the puns were Lucy's raison d'être in her return stint.</blockquote>
