The Ricardos engage in a "battle of the brags" with their friends the Applebys, with each couple dragging out pictures of their respective children at the slightest provocation. While the war continues to rage between Lucy (Lucille Ball) and Caroline Appleby (Doris Singleton), Ricky (Desi Arnaz) tries to negotiate a separate peace, so as not to jeopardize his upcoming appearance on Charlie Appleby's (Hy Averback) TV station. But Lucy is not about to admit that her Little Ricky could in any way, shape, or form be less bright or adorable than Caroline's Little Stevie. ~ Rovi
