Edith's Crisis of Faith, Part Two: All in the Family (TV Episode)

Plot

In the conclusion of a two-part story, Edith is still grieving over the death of her female-impersonor friend, Beverly LaSalle, who was killed by a vicious street gang for no reason other than being "different." So shaken is Edith that nothing can snap her out of her depression. Not even the Christmas season can lift her spirits; in fact, she has renounced her faith in God, appalled that He would allow such a horrible thing to happen. Bob Schiller and Bob Weiskopf wrote the script, from an original story by Erik Tarloff. "Edith's Crisis of Faith, Part Two" was first telecast on December 25, 1977. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
