Synopsis[]
Edith takes matters into her own hands when Archie continually refuses to treat his wife to one night out on the town. An evening at Kelsey's Bar shows Archie that Edith is no social wallflower.
Storyline[]
Gloria gives Edith a tailored pants suit, in which Edith looks beautiful. Gloria then announces that she and Mike got a babysitter for Joey, and are going out to dinner, and she invites Archie and Edith to join them, but Archie, who's come home after a long day of work, and unimpressed by Edith's new look, refuses to go. Gloria tells Archie off for his selfishness, and leaves with Mike. Edith begs Archie to take her out for the evening, anywhere. She'd even be willing to go over to Archie's one nightspot, Kelsey's bar, for a drink. When Archie still refuses, Edith decides to go out on her own, and she ends up at Kelsey's bar. While there, she befriends two patrons, Marge, a kindly single lady who's waiting for her "Paul Newman", and Joe Foley, friendly flattering guy, and she plays the piano for another couple celebrating their anniversary. Archie shows up, a short time later, where he realizes his wife is the "life of the party", and that he had better stop taking her for granted. The two go to dinner at a nearby Italian restaurant, and plan to go to dinner and a basketball game the following weekend. Edith promises to Kelsey's patrons to come back if said plans fall through.
