Plot

In-Depth

Roseanne wakes up Dan who is wearing a sleep apnea machine. She tells him that she thought he was dead. They hear noise coming from upstairs. Dan says he can't get over the fact that Darlene and her kids are living with them now. He groans that he doesn't have any privacy and can't cook naked anymore. Roseanne says that he doesn't have to give up pleasuring her so he pulls her close and they have sex.

Roseanne and Dan are at hte breakfast table trading medicines when Darlene walks in. She asks if Roseanne has taken her blood sugar level and Roseanne says that it's as sweet as can be. Darlene hypothesizes that that's probably why she passed out at Walmart last week. Roseanne argues that it's because the prices are so low. Darlene brings up the feud between Roseanne and Aunt Jackie and how it needs to end. Mark, Darlene's kid, walks in dressed like a girl. Roseanne tells Dan to ignore it that he's exploring. Harris, another one of Darlene's kids, asks Darlene for money. Darlene, in turn, asks Roseanne who asks God. Darlene tells Harris that she needs her to babysit because she has a job interview. Roseanne offers to give her a ride now that she works for Uber but Darlene says that Aunt Jackie offered to give her a ride. Roseanne is upset about this. Darlene tells her that Jackie promised to get along but when they open the front door she's standing there wearing a "Nasty woman" t-shirt.

Dan can't remember where he put his gun so he heads out to the garage. Roseanne goes with him and they look over her old manuscript. He says it would've been a best seller if she hadn't killed off the main character. Darlene arrives and Roseanne asks how the job interview went. Apparently not so good. Darlene tells her that she invited Jackie over for dinner. At dinner, DJ shows up with his daughter and they all say grace with Roseanne intentionally poking fun at Jackie. Becky shows up and informs the family that she's going to get $50,000 dollars to be a surrogate. Roseanne and Dan become upset but Jackie offers her support. Dan leaves and heads out to the garage.

Dan and Roseanne talk about Becky being a surrogate. They agree that they can't tell her what to do because she'll just do the opposite. Inside, Becky and Darlene are arguing. After Becky leaves, Roseanne tells Darlene that she knows that she lost her job. Darlene says that it's embarrassing and that she thought she'd be a huge success by now. Later, Roseanne and Jackie argue. Jackie says that Roseanne can't stand anyone else having their own opinions. That because of her she choked while voting and that's why that guy won. Roseanne tells her that she didn't mean that Jackie was stupid, almost apologizing. Jackie says she's sorry for all the fighting. Roseanne forgives her and Jackie commends her for doing that.
