8/10

Takes a step in a different direction.

This episode steps away from the usual clean-cut image of the series and into a "darker" realm-at least in terms of classic sitcoms! There's a seance with Ricky's boss, wherein Lucy contacts what she believes is his wife. Of course, she plays one voice, but another ghastly voice also answers with an added twist at the end. There isn't a lot of full-on comedy in this one, but the story is very well-developed and everyone did an excellent job with the comedic timing.
