Trivia
Even though Jean Stapleton played Judith, she was billed as "Giovanna Pucci" in the closing credits, which is a play on words; "Pucci" is taken from Stapleton's husband's last name (Putch), and Giovanna (Joan in Italian, the closest you can get to "Jean" in that language).

Quotes
Edith Bunker: [after Albrecht and Judith have made up, they begin singing to each other. Edith looks on smiling while Archie hides his face in embarrassment] Isn't that sweet?
Archie Bunker: [uncovering his face] It's just like the Jerrys, Edith. They can't even wrap up a love scene without singing a battle hymn!

Jean Stapleton in a dual role

Klemmer the butcher tells Edith he is getting married.

Theodore Bikel returns to the role of the butcher inexplicably in love with Edith. But now he has a new fiancee, an uptight German woman also played by Jean Stapleton. The series is now pulling all sorts of gimmicks trying to be funny, but the results are pretty silly. The over the shoulder shots of doubles in wigs to make it seem like the same actress is actually two different people were being used in 1960s sitcoms like "The Patty Duke Show". The only difference is that show was funny and this episode is not.
