In this Moss & Dukane story, Arnie returns and wants Nancy back, leading to perhaps my favorite exchanges on the series, as Roseanne explains that things have changed since he's been out of town.
ROSEANNE: Like Nancy's a lesbian and we got a new LensCrafters.
DAN: Whoa, whoa, whoa!  Come again?
ROSEANNE: Yes, Dan, glasses in less than an hour!

For most of the episode, it seems that Arnie mainly wants Nancy back because of the wound to his male pride, but then it turns out the aliens (Clinton Allmon and Jeff Heston again) wanted him to lure Nancy back as breeding stock.  Meanwhile, the Lanford Lunch Box opens for business but a creepy customer threatens Roseanne.  Dan feels protective of course, but she, Nancy, and Jackie take a self-defense class.  In another fourth-wall-breaking tag, "Michael" appears on the aliens' spaceship, and "Tom" asks if Michael has heard good things about his new show, i.e. The Jackie Thomas Show, which would debut on December 1st.

Aliens Clinton Allmon and Jeff Heston return.  Wings Hauser appears again as Ty Tilden.  Doug Fieger makes his first of three appearances as Nick, I'm guessing the new poker buddy.  First Customer Joe Keyes would be back a couple times.
