A Dukane & Moss story was turned into a teleplay by Lois Bromfield (her first of five, although she had acted on the show earlier) and Scott Burton (who has no other credits).  Roger continues to exercise his charm, but we learn about his sleaziness when he, in order, hits on Jackie, insults Dan when Dan has doubts about the house-renovation business, borrows money from Nancy (who hopes to have him get her pregnant), and skips town.  Jackie comes to the rescue at least as far as Dan's investment is concerned, by buying the little house that Dan and Chuck worked on.

Director Philip Charles MacKenzie would do twenty-one more Roseanne episodes, but we had seen him as an actor on Three's Company in 1980 and Bosom Buddies in '81.  House Buyer Christopher Darga would be an Officer on Ellen.  And, yes, that's Chris Farley in an uncredited role as the Man in Clothing Store.
