Edith's cousin Maude visits to help out Edith, who is overwhelmed looking after a sick Archie, Mike, and Gloria. To say Archie is displeased would be an understatement...
Tropes in this episode:
- Berserk Button: Do NOT say anything bad about Franklin Delano Roosevelt to Maude.
- Deadpan Snarker: Pretty much, right away with Maude ... she's outspoken, her views are completely different from Archie's and she will not take nonsense.
- Establishing Character Moment: That Maude is a outspoken, salty-voiced liberal and will not take any guff from Archie.
- Sick Episode: Archie, Mike and Gloria all come down with the flu. Maude comes to give Edith some much-needed help and respite.
- The Thing That Would Not Leave: Maude in Archie's eyes, especially after it's Edith's turn to catch the flu. And then Maude herself gets it in The Tag.
