Fred feels guilty about the costs he incurred when he accidentally sent Ricky's band on the wrong route. To make amends, he secures second-class train tickets for their overnight journey to Florence and finds them a fourth-class hotel for their stay. Lucy is eager to call home and check if Little Ricky has received the birthday gifts she mailed from London, but the challenges of making a call from such a low-quality room nearly overwhelm her.
