The Contact Lens


Lucy loses lens in chocolate cake.

Lucy and Viv try to find lens by destroying 15 chocolate cakes.

Unfortunately scene looked like two older ladies pooped themselves and were playing in it.

Not funny.

Just watched it again after having last seen it over forty years ago.

It was a bit of a stretch to go from 'I lost my contact lens' to 'it HAS to be in the cake icing on the cake!'

The BBQ episode on ILL may have been a reach (mainly with Ricky figuring out the ring fell out of his pocket when he picked up the beef), but this was just over the board with, we got to destroy these cakes.

I remember thinking it was funny when I first saw it and knew it was cakes (I guess kids play in their food, and I used to destroy Hostess cupcakes) but she didn't want Mooney to know she lost an expensive contact lens, but how much would it cost to run out and buy those cakes like that?

For someone who has to beg her banker for money on practically every episode she seems to spend a lot of it.

I'm guessing in real life the character would be into the principle of her money rather than just the interest as annuities and savings accounts are supposed to work in spite of Mooney's efforts to control her account. When that happens she'll be broke soon.

Her character went to college so why can't she get a decent job to supplement her income and not stress out every day?

To me, it looked like one big pile of dirt after destroying those cakes.

Don't play games with a girl who can play better.
