Synopsis[]
Irene Lorenzo gives Gloria a replica of Rodin's "The Kiss." Gloria loves the statue, but Archie – insisting that a kiss is not just a kiss – objects when he sees it because of his sensitivity to pornography. After Archie gets Frank Lorenzo to take the sculpture back, Gloria gives her father the silent treatment, leading to icy tension around the house.
Summary[]
Gloria brings home a miniature replica of Rodin's famous sculpture "The Kiss." The erotic nature of the sculpture does not rest well with Archie, citing the sculpture to be pornography, who orders Gloria to take that "dirty thing" out of the house immediately. After Archie gets Frank, who initially didn't know that Irene had given the piece to Mike and Gloria until Irene told him, (citing that she didn't have the right to do so) to take the sculpture back, Gloria then gives Archie the silent treatment, leading to icy tension around the house. Want to bet that this sparks another Battle Royal in the Bunker household? Also worth watching is Edith's impromptu paean to the music of Henry Mancini.
