Abugov, Lorre, and Myer wrote this story where Dan and Roseanne plan to fly to Vegas for the weekend, despite, one, her boss Leon changing her schedule, and two, their daughters planning a party. (D.J. will stay with Crystal, who's now visibly pregnant, a month or so after the wedding.) Roseanne reluctantly agrees to go, but she doesn't want to lose this job, especially since she likes Bonnie. (As do I, more Bonnie please!) Jackie plays party chaperone, threatening to wear her cop uniform, which I guess she didn't have to turn in when she quit the force.
From the title, I had this one mixed up with the one where D & R go to Vegas with Arnie & Nancy, but in this one they get snowed in in Chicago. The episode never quite becomes classic, but there are some great moments, from Jackie's reaction to being hit on by a senior, to two boys fighting over Darlene: Brian (Matt Norero again) and Barry Parker (Tristan Tait again). Also, the tag, where D & R dance to a Wayne Newton record and tell each other happy lies captures what's so magic about them as a couple. Note that Mark is referred to but not seen.
Susan Quick was Heather Dolan on That Girl and Gloria Thompson on The Brady Bunch, as well as Lady #2 here. Nick Toth, who was Mr. Powell in A Very Brady Christmas and The Bradys, gets to deliver the episode's funniest line, as Capt. Johnson. Man #2, Rick Spector, would be a Customer the next year.
