While looking in the newspaper, she finds out that Paul Douglas is looking for a female assistant (a ""Girl Friday""). While waiting in the waiting room, Lucy makes up a bunch of lies that make Douglas look like a womanizing monster so they fear and head out.

The public thinks it's funny and wants more. She is signed into a 5 year contract with the show. After doing this, Lucy wants to go back to being a housewife because she never gets to see her family. So while thinking that Paul can get her out of her contract, she takes a bunch of sleeping pills. The problem is that the manager will not let her out of her contract, so Paul goes to Ricky's and the two try to wake her but can't.While getting her
