I remember seeing this episode as a kid, and yeah, it was shock to see something like this in a show that so rarely ventured into serious territory. There was another episode similar where Archie and Mike get locked in their basement or something and start drinking, and of course, argueing over their diverse social views.

Archie winds up wasted and starts going into detail about how his father physically abused in order to teach him "how to be a man" or something. While it wasn't as disturbing as the rape episode, it still dealt with a serious side rarely seen on that show.
