[edit] Plot
While Ethel Mertz reads Lucy's fortune, she predicts Lucy's death. Lucy seems not to care and decides to go back to her mystery book. When Ricky comes home later that night her scares Lucy causing her to toss her book out of the window. Lucy then over hears a conversation Ricky is having with his agent and misunderstands it. She then comes to the conclusion that Ricky is going to kill her. After Ricky leaves in the morning to go to work she finds what she thinks is a gun in the desk. Ricky then comes home in the evening for a short time before he must return to the club. Ricky pours her some water and comforts her. Lucy thinks Ricky is going to try to poison her when she sees that Ricky has put something in it. It ends up being a sleeping pill that Fred has given him to allow Lucy to sleep since Ricky has to take off for the club. With what Lucy believes is her last little bit of life, she drags herself to the club to tell Ricky what she thinks of him. Once at the club, she interrupts the show. Ricky pulls out the gun and aims it at Lucy. Pulling the trigger, a flag shoots out of the end that reads "BANG". Lucky and Ricky make up. The episode ends with Lucy sleeping on the stage.
