Mike refuses to accept constructive criticism during a group therapy board game.
Mike brings home a game called Group Therapy which asks players to open up about certain private feelings. He invites Lionel and the Lorenzos over the play, but the game turns out to be less fun then he had planned when he begins acting childish about everyone's reaction to him. He accuses everyone of criticizing him just as harshly as Archie. Edith straightens him out by explaining that Archie doesn't hate him but criticizes him because he sees in Mike all the things that he can never be. Archie comes home completely oblivious to what is going on. Mike says he understands and hugs him.—Jerry Roberts <armchair-cinema@hotmail.com>
Mike participates in a game of "Group Therapy," which asks participants tough questions and requires them to be honest with one another. Mike can't take the constructive criticism and quits, and later fumes to Edith about how Archie got everything in life despite his bigotry. Edith, however, refuses to give in to Mike.—Brian Rathjen <briguy_52732@yahoo.com>
