The original choice for Ethel Mertz is in the building, and she is nothing like our girl Vivian Vance, but she is a delight and a half! This week, Lucy decides to help her neighbor find love, and things...don't go great. This episode turns into a deeper dive on an unsung pioneer in Hollywood, Bea Benaderet.
