Lucy repeatedly runs from the Ricardos' living room, through the Mertzes' living room, and through a door stage right, which presumably leads to their kitchen, out their back door, across the balcony and back to her kitchen. But in The Sublease (1954), characters make frequent trips to the Mertzes' kitchen, which is now stage left. Because Fred is such a cheapskate, it isn't likely that he would have done such a drastic remodel.
