Brad Isaacs wrote this script, which feels a little forced, especially in regards to Darlene hiding out in her room but still being visited, and Beverly's announcement of and reaction to her husband's affair of two years.  Also, Mark is absent, despite Roseanne's promise, as he has other plans.  Still, it's interesting to see Winters and Parsons play off each other as mother and daughter, and for that matter Barr and Gilbert in the tag.  (And, yes, the great-grandmother and great-granddaughter scene with Darlene and Nana Mary).  I also like how Dan plays "big brother" to Lonnie (still Kristopher Kent Hill).  Note that Dan's father is absent as well as Roseanne's.
