\\u201cLucy Goes to Scotland\\u201d (January 6, 1956)

It\\u2019s our second I Love Lucy episode and also our second \\u201cIt was all a dream!\\u201d installment of Weirdest Episode Ever. So what is to be made of a dream sequence where Lucy Ricardo is ultimately fed to a dragon? Perhaps not much, but if you want to approach it from a perspective of dream analysis, it\\u2019s very likely that Lucy\\u2019s sacrifice has something to do with Lucille Ball\\u2019s impending divorce and her allowing celebrity to triumph over her personal life. And that\\u2019s not even saying anything about Vivian Vance and William Frawley playing a two-headed dragon that can\\u2019t stand being yoked to its other half.

Listen to our previous I Love Lucy outing, about how it just might have made the first gay joke in sitcom history.

The logo for Weirdest Episode Ever was designed by Ian O\\u2019Phelan. The theme music was composed by Nick Loiacano.
