What I liked: Mike being able to tell the difference between the pops, him and Gloria kissing for so long, what everyone was doing when Archie walked through the door, Archie returning in this episode, amongst other things.
OK episode. It was pretty much strictly a time-filler, which wouldn't be bad, except that it did not have many laughs in the plot, at least not many from me. C+ or so as my final grade, I think is fairmoreless
Episode Summary
EDIT
Edith has news that Archie finally called home to let everyone know where he was. Supposedly he got sidetracked to a podiatrists' convention in Rochester. Meanwhile, Mike and Gloria get into a big fight about lying which results in a kissing contest, just in time for a welcome home party.moreless

NOTES (1)
ADD NOTES-
This was the last of the three-part episode that the writers had devised to explain Archie's absence. Supposedly Archie went off to Buffalo and would either return or get killed there, depending on O'Connor's decision to return to the show. When Carroll O'Connor walked through the door and delivered the last line of this episode, the studio audience went wild, because it meant that he and Lear had reached an agreement.
