Dark Secret: Edith reveals that very early in their marriage, when Gloria was literally a "Little Goil," Archie's gambling nearly cost the family everything. He already lost their car, and was this close to (literally) gambling away their house. Edith further explains: When she found out, she confronted Archie, giving him an ultimatum: "Stop gambling now, or I leave and I'm taking our daughter with me." Needless to say, Archie quit ... or, as evidence shows in this episode, did he?
The Gambling Addict: The episode title is exactly what it suggests - Archie gambling liberally and pressing his luck with the family's finances, and as Edith will reveal about their long-ago past.
