Ep 22. All in the Family

In the "All in the Family" episode of Married...with Children season 2, the Bundy family is forced to confront some uncomfortable truths about their lineage. When Al's cousin, Seven, comes to visit, he brings with him some unexpected news: Al's grandfather isn't actually his biological grandfather. Instead, he was adopted by Al's grandmother and her husband, Joe.

Al initially refuses to believe this news, but when Seven produces some old family photos that seem to support his claim, Al's resolve begins to crumble. He decides to conduct his own investigation into his family's past, enlisting the help of Kelly and Bud.

As the trio begins to dig into the family archives, they uncover some shocking secrets about their ancestors. They learn that Al's real grandfather was a wealthy businessman who disowned his daughter when she married Joe, a blue-collar worker. The family is left to grapple with the implications of this revelation, and Al must decide whether or not to confront his parents about what he has learned.

Meanwhile, Peggy is busy trying to make a good impression on Seven, who she hopes will leave her a large inheritance. She cooks him elaborate meals and lavishes him with attention, but Seven remains unmoved. Instead, he is more interested in spending time with Marcy, whom he finds much more attractive than Peggy.

As the episode progresses, tensions mount between the Bundy and D'Arcy families, leading to a confrontation that leaves them all questioning the true meaning of family. Ultimately, Al decides to accept his past and embrace his adopted grandfather as his true ancestor.

"All in the Family" is a poignant exploration of the importance of family ties and the ways in which our ancestry shapes our identities. With its mix of humor and heart, it is a standout episode in the series and a must-see for fans of Married...with Children.
