Big beefy Bertha...with Money

Warning: Spoilers
This episode was funny. Blanche Hefner has continued her loose woman status and ran off with some other man. Barney is pretending to be upset. Archie decided to set him up with Edith's morbidly obese friend (Peggy Rea who played cousin Bertha) who has lots of money. They don't take to each other at first but soon they become a couple. Edith is worried it's all because of her money because after all, her friend is incredibly unattractive. There are some fun fat jokes and Barney's facial expressions are priceless. It's not the best episode of the season but one of the better ones because the dopey kid Stephanie isn't in it. There's a touching scene at the end with Edith and Martha. Overall a good episode.
