As Vic and Sade get ready for an evening of playing cards, Sade accidentally calls Fred Stembottom, Ted. She claims that uncle Fletcher’s habit of calling him that, plus Vic and Russel calling him Ted on purpose, have got her doing the same thing. She’s so afraid the misuse of his name might upset Fred. Speaking of Fletcher, he enters to tell about his new job as ticket taker at the Bijou. The longer the discussion goes on, the more Ted is used rather than Fred, and Sade gets more defensive over the proper name. Maybe she’s just worried she’ll let it slip and embarrass herself.
Trivia:
- Uncle Fletcher is filling in as a ticket taker at the Bijou. The regular ticket taker is Ray Fadler, brother of Ernie Fadler and Emmett Fadler.
- Sutter Street is mentioned for the first time. There’s a hardware store there.
- Hyena Grease is mentioned by name as something Uncle Fletcher uses to oil his shoes.

I love the end of this episode. Sade calls Fred “Ted”. No other show could get away with that being the stinger. I laughed for a minute. There is no more subtle humor than “Vic and Sade”. Love every episode! Thanks
