Amy Sherman wrote this eventful episode.  Dan and Roseanne both try to reconcile Becky and Mark, going over to the bachelor paradise apartment of Mark's friend Royal (Ahmet Zappa giving a nice understated performance on an episode that plays tribute to his then recently deceased father; Ahmet would return in another role).  Dan wants to move in, while Roseanne on her visit finds that one, Mark blames himself for being too stupid for trade school, and two, (thanks to Royal's confusion of the Conner sisters) David is living with Darlene in Chicago.  Roseanne and Mark drive to Chicago so she can confront D & D.  Meanwhile, Becky blames Roseanne but Dan helps her see that it's her own expectations of Mark that she has to deal with.  Roseanne brings David home, to Darlene's relief, since she and David have been fighting, but Roseanne doesn't tell Dan the truth yet.  Meanwhile, in a throwaway line, we find out that D.J. is still a monster on the hockey team.
