Just when Archie has accustomed himself to the presence of foster daughter Stephanie, along comes Stephanie's no-good father (and Edith's cousin), Floyd Mills. Aware of the Bunkers' fondness for Stephanie, Floyd cagily offers to let the girl stay with them -- provided they pay him a thousand dollars. Ben Slack takes over from Marty Brill as the unsavory Mr. Mills. Also in the cast are veteran actors Victor Kilian and Charles Wagenheim, who, in a grim coincidence were murdered by the same assailant a few weeks before this episode aired on March 25, 1979. "The Return of Stephanie's Father" was written by Mel Tolkin and Larry Rhine. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
