Roseanne exploits the situation of knowing that D & D were shacking up in Chicago by making David do lots of housework.  He isn't comfortable lying to Dan, who considers him an "almost son."  He tells the truth (omitting that Roseanne and D.J. knew) and Dan kicks him out.  Roseanne pressures Jackie into letting David move in until she can guilt Dan into letting David move back, but instead Dan is guilted into hiring Mark at the garage that Dan manages for the city, the one where Fred works for him.  Meanwhile, Jackie refuses to take money from Fred to help with her baby, so he storms out.  She feels guilty about upsetting him and she figuratively cries on David's shoulder.  He thinks she's hitting on him, which amuses her a lot.  The tag is a well-done Graduate parody, costumes and movie dialogue and all.
