This, by Gelman & Jacobson, is the funniest episode so far and it also foreshadows Becky's eventual interest in bad boy Mark. Roseanne sees Chip's mom (Andrea Walters again) at the grocery store, so she invites the Langs over for dinner, not just Chip (Jared Rushton for the third and last time) and Bonnie but his dad Edgar, a dentist. Becky and Chip have been dating six months already, don't ask me how. She still likes him, but she also likes an older boy (high school sophomore, while she's a 13-year-old eighth-grader) who's known for his kissing skills. (And it's not on the cheek, like Chip's kiss.) Roseanne catches them kissing and yells at Becky to get back in the house (where they're still entertaining her official boyfriend and his family). Becky later tells her parents that they're not as "hip and with it" as they think. They think it over but still forbid her to see the other boy. And meanwhile, the stuff with Chip's parents is hilarious, especially the "aloha" sequence. Jackie appears briefly, on her way to a date with Booker (unseen this episode).
