Alter Lucy PLOTS to make new episodes

[Mot Morenzi]

This was inspired by the alter Lucy titles thread. Keeping the same titles of actual episodes, come up with new plots that could also fit those titles.

Lucy Goes to the Hospital
After reading a magazine article outlining deadly diseases, hypochondriac Lucy suddenly fears she's got every illness in the book, experiencing more fainting and coughing fits than Camille. She finally checks herself into the hospital for a battery of tests, where, coincidentally, old friend Hal March just happens to be staying in the room next door, recovering from having his zorch…er, spleen…removed. A fed up Ricky persuades him to play doctor again and confirm all of Lucy’s worst fears to teach her a lesson.

The Christmas Show
The Ricardo’s and Mertz’s plans for a fun-filled Christmas are squashed by the untimely arrival of Fred’s weasel-like mother (Estelle Winwood), who positively hates holiday cheer and forbids anyone in her vicinity from being celebratory. They grudgingly try to go along with things at first, but Ethel has had enough after Mother Mertz goes around the building tearing wreaths off everyone’s doors, causing devout Christian Mrs. Trumbull to launch into a tirade of fury about the war on Christmas. Digging out the Mother Carroll trunk, and suddenly eager for one of Lucy's schemes, a plan is hatched to pay the old weasel a visit on Christmas Eve as the ghosts of Christmas past (Ethel), present (Ricky) and yet to come (Lucy), and finally show the miserable Grinch the true meaning of Christmas.

Lucy Raises Tulips
After finding a lost piglet sniffing around her prized garden, Lucy adopts the little porker and names her Tulips. Ricky is initially mortified, but even he is won over by Tulips’ sweet and loving nature, and Fred the dog’s new sister is soon the hit of the household. Things get a bit crowded, however, after the little piggy develops into a fully grown sow, but Lucy’s determined to see things through, even after Tulips gets herself into a little trouble courtesy of Ralph Ramsey’s boar.

New Neighbors
Fred and Ethel think they’re in the twilight zone when the new tenants in 3C are revealed to be Xavier Valdez and his red-headed wife, Lisa. Just as desperate to break into her husband’s act as Lucy is, Lisa and Lucy become fast friends, while Ricky and Xavier now have two wacky redheads to contend with. The new arrangement doesn’t last long, however, before Xavier and Lisa move to Hollywood to star in their own TV show, I Like Lisa.

Fred and Ethel Fight
Sick and tired of Fred always wanting to go to the fights, Ethel decides the only way she’ll ever get his attention is to become a lady boxer. Appalled, Fred tries to talk her out of it, but “Ethel Mae Meatcrusher” is a sensation and has no intentions of giving up her newfound glory. Determined to get Honey Bunch back home where he thinks she belongs, Fred digs out his old Golden Gloves to (literally) knock some sense into her...on national television.

Love New Neighbors. Oh the jealous Lucy over Lisa making it to TV in Hollywood.

 

All if these so neat. If watch them all.

No wonder she’s so nuts for chocolate chip cookies!

"Lucy and Viv Take Up Chemistry"

Mooney won't advance Lucy any money, and Viv's ex, Ralph, is three months behind on the alimony, so the girls whip up some crystal meth in order to buy some meat.  Distribution is handled by Ted Mooney, Jr. (as played by Michael J. Pollard). Things go well until the Ridgeberry mob wants to snuff out the new competition.

Alternate title: Breaking Bad is Hard to Do.

The irony is that a small town like Danfield might well have a meth problem in this day and age. The idea of Lucy and Viv getting in on it, though, is hysterical!

The Million Dollar Idea
The Mr. & Mrs. TV Show fiasco has a surprisingly positive outcome when Lucy is applauded for her brutal honesty in reviewing products. Charlie Appleby sees dollar signs and hires Lucy to host a new consumer watchdog program on his affiliate. Things hit a snag when Lucy is asked to confront the dangers of smoking by criticising Philip Morris and their aggressive advertising strategy. 

Chris’s New Years Eve Party
Feeling that she doesn’t need a chaperone this year, Chris hosts another NYE party that spirals wildly out of control. After she and Alan Harper spend a wild night in the rumpus room, Chris soon learns she’s enciente, and must hide her condition from the rest of the family by wearing baggy clothes and standing behind chairs.

Lucy is Matchmaker
This fantasy dream-sequence episode, following in Scotland’s footsteps, has Lucy imagine herself in the role of Dolly Levi, with Ricky as Horace Vandergelder. 

Vacation from Marriage
The Ricardos and the Mertzes take part in a brand new reality show, “Wife Swap,” with Lucy moving in with Fred and Ethel moving in with Ricky. Lucy soon grows tired of Fred’s constant grousing and excessive meal demands and can’t wait for the show to end. Ethel, for some reason, is much happier with Ricky and seems to be quite enjoying the experience, waking up with a smile every single morning. Naturally, Lucy’s suspicions are aroused…that Ethel is aroused!
