synopsis
Archie seems unusually nervous when Edith invites her former classmate, Dolores Mancheney, to dinner at the Bunkers'. What the audience knows, but Edith doesn't, is that Archie and Dolores had carried on a brief but torrid romance -- while he was dating Edith. Oscar-winner Estelle Parsons, who later became a series semi-regular in the role of Blanche Hefner, is here cast as Dolores. Written by Michael Loman, "Archie's Secret Passion" first aired on December 4, 1976.
