4. At what time did Ricky's band play what Lucy called "El Breako the Leaso"?

Answer: 4:30 A.M.

The Mertzes got so annoyed by the noise, they ripped up the lease, so the Ricardos could move without paying the next five months' rent.

5. Before Lucy and Ricky were going to move, the four returned their belongings to each other. Who was the LAST to get his/her belongings back?

Answer: Ethel

After that, Ethel said to Lucy, about her belongings she had given back to her, that everything was there and that she could count them if she wanted. But Lucy said that wasn't necessary because she trusted Ethel. Then the girls started crying, the Ricardos decided to stay, and they forgave each other. Also, Fred wrote up a new lease.
