Edith's upset at God about Beverly's death and does not want to celebrate Xmas.

Part 2 isn't as good as the previous installment. There is a lot of filler in this episode to pad out the running time. Mike doesn't appreciate Archie's gift to Joey - a set of "KAR-AA-ATE MEN" action figures that were actually produced by the Aurora Toy Company in 1975. Archie seems to enjoy playing with them more himself. He actually is seen playing with them in two separate scenes.

In a funny moment, Gloria opens her robe to reveal a sexy nightgown that Mike gave her, which makes Archie very uncomfortable. It takes a tender talk with Mike to make Edith forgive God and join the family for Xmas dinner. She opens grace with "Dear God, E. Bunker here" which lightens the episode's mood and lets us know the old Edith is still underneath.

The conclusion has more frivolous moments than Part 1, but obviously you'll want to watch both. 7/10.

Edith is still mourning Beverly and questioning God on Christmas day.

After killing off Beverly in part one, we are subject to a grieving Edith in part two, and seeing this once cheerful character so depressed is well...depressing. The writers were really hard on her character this season, after having her being the subject of attempted rape and now being a sad, cynical character. For a viewer like me, who loved her character and got so many laughs from her, it is torture to endure this miserable episode.

What a lame,phony-baloney episode of a once-great show. They really added insult to injury by stretching a nonsensical story here into 2 episodes. The whole premise of the story is needlessly weird and reeks of desperation. It is beyond obvious that the show was quickly running out of gas at this point,as this has to be the worst 2-part episode of the whole series. Shame on them.
