* SexualKarma: The final scene, in the bedroom where Archie affirms his love for Edith. He admits that all the things that irritate him about her are things he's come to love and appreciate and that not only would he miss that if something were to happen to her, he would be nothing without her. The two kiss, and it is implied it is foreplay to what happens as [[SexyDiscretionShot the camera pans out through a keyhole and then fades to black]]. [[note]](This could be seen as presumably allowing Archie and Edith to have their privacy.)[[/note]] Archie's evolution to his emotions and words in the episode's final scene weren't so much a complete change from the earliest episodes (where he was extremely prudish, to the point where he was reluctant to show affection to even Edith) but a disdain for the "free love" sexuality espoused by Mike and Gloria. This scene affirms Archie and Edith have an active and mutually satisfying relationship in the bedroom.

** But since few if any stations have ever run ''[=AItF=]'' and ''[=ABP=]'' in a single run in syndication, this serves as the "finale" -- one last look at the complex relationship between Archie and Edith. We are reminded that despite Archie's sometimes harsh, brash treatment of his wife, he dearly loved Edith and would be devastated to lose her; and despite Edith having to put up with a lot and having the patience of a saint, Edith saw Archie as her rock. Two people truly made for each other if there ever was one.
