Gotta disagree that this episode is "confusing", etc. - think just the opposite - it's the tightest construction of the ones I've seen, and one of the funniest. Watch Joan's wardrobe disappear/reappear/disappear, etc., she's stuck wearing her ball gown to do housework, and yet she deadpans her way through it all. It shows how over-the-top Lucille Ball was in HER acting. It may be blasphemy to say this, but I prefer JD's style.
