7-17 Recap	Roll Out The Barrel Roll Out The Barrel - Fancy sells not-Amway products and then decides not to sell the not-Amway products.

7-3 Recap	The Man With Two Right Shoes The Man With Two Right Shoes - The wavy camera work waves us over to Ricky's apartment, where Mary and Ricky are in bed together.
