Ep 6. It's Only Money

Jack, Janet, and Chrissy are back at it again in season 1 episode 6 of Three's Company. In "It's Only Money," the trio find themselves in a sticky situation when they accidentally come into possession of $3,000 in cash.

The trouble begins when a forgetful customer leaves the money behind at the restaurant where the gang works. Assuming it's a tip, Jack, Janet, and Chrissy decide to use the money to fix up their apartment. However, their plans quickly spiral out of control when they realize just how much $3,000 can buy.

Soon enough, the threesome have bought everything from a piano to an expensive sculpture, leaving them nearly broke. To make matters worse, the customer who left the money behind returns to the restaurant and demands it back. Jack, Janet, and Chrissy are left scrambling to come up with a plan to replace the money before their landlord finds out and they lose their apartment.

As usual, the episode is packed with plenty of laughs and hijinks as the gang tries to outsmart their way out of trouble. But beneath the surface, "It's Only Money" also deals with some serious themes about greed and responsibility.

Throughout the episode, Jack is the voice of reason, reminding his roommates that the money isn't theirs to keep and urging them to return it. Janet, however, is more tempted by the idea of using the money to live a more luxurious lifestyle. Chrissy falls somewhere in between, caught between her desire to have nice things and her loyalty to her friends.

As the episode progresses, we see the three friends grapple with these conflicting emotions, ultimately coming to a satisfying resolution that teaches them the true value of money and the importance of being honest and responsible.

Of course, "It's Only Money" is also full of the slapstick humor and physical comedy that made Three's Company such a beloved sitcom. From Jack's attempts to hide the newfound cash from Janet and Chrissy to the hilariously awkward interactions with the customer who left the money behind, there are plenty of moments that will have you laughing out loud.

Overall, season 1 episode 6 of Three's Company is a classic example of what made the show such a fan favorite. It's a hilarious, entertaining romp that also manages to sneak in some important life lessons along the way. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to the series, "It's Only Money" is an episode that's sure to leave you smiling.
