!! Tropes seen in this episode:

* DarkSecret: Is this ''[=AItF=]'' episode a holiday episode? Then you know it's going to either feature a high-decibel argument or revelation of dark secrets, and this one has plenty of both ... this time, when it is revealed Mike is now unemployed, having lost his job as a professor at the local college for participating in a protest march. (It's revealed he went along only because Gloria was the main one opposed to a new nuclear plant being built.)
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Further strain on the troubled marriage of Mike and Gloria is evident, and this latest chapter causes raised tensions.
* SpecialGuest: Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers, reprising their roles as Mike and Gloria; both are billed as "Special Guest Stars" in the opening credits. This episode marked the final time all four members of the original cast -- Carroll O'Connor, Jean Stapleton, Reiner and Struthers -- appeared together.
