Lucy Explained It all..in 1956


 A ‘lost episode” of “I Love Lucy” entitled “The Red Bird Sings” (original air-date: October 12, 1956), was recently unearthed by Lorimar Productions. The episode, guest-starring Phil Silvers as Lucy's therapist,  focuses on Lucy finally explaining to Ricky everything she had needed to explain throughout the run of the show. A “lot of explainin’ to do” was done. All of it..Lucy’s “love me” Daddy issues, her constant need for attention, her wicked narcissism, her relentless self-absorption, and her obsessive desire to be in Ricky’s shows. The upshot was that it was all brought on by profound abandonment issues from childhood. Conversely, there has yet to be an episode unearthed that satisfactorily explains Ricky’s friendship with Fred Mertz.
