Jacobson & Vela wrote this second part as well.  Three weeks have passed and Roseanne and Jackie aren't speaking.  They reconcile when Gary (Brian Kerwin again) proposes to Jackie.  But the happily ever after is more complicated than that and, while Roseanne is eager to plan Jackie's wedding, Jackie and Gary realize that they've been rushing into things.  Gilbert has a good little scene where Darlene lies for her mother and gets caught.  Note that Roseanne implies, in front of her daughters, that she was not a virgin when she got married.  (And neither will they be, although, like her, they'll marry the men that they lost their virginities to.)  Also, the end credits have stills from Charles & Diana's wedding in 1981, I think meant to be ironic not only in regards to Roseanne's wedding plans, but to the idea of marital bliss, as Chuck and Di were known to be having problems by then.
