Abbott & Fromstein wrote this episode where Fred sues Jackie for custody of their unborn baby.  It's interesting that his side is shown, but Jackie's reaction is understandable, especially as Roseanne points out, she's still emotionally scarred from her relationship with Fisher.  Becky takes Jackie's side, while Mark and Dan sympathize with Fred.  David, whose masculinity is questioned not only by Mark but by D.J., gets caught in the taking sides trap, until he learns how to play the sides against each other.  In the end, Jackie and Fisher reconcile, thanks to Dan offscreen.

Tony Edwards makes his second appearance as a Customer, although it was a different workplace in '91, while Customer Rob Elk previously played Joel.  Tom McTigue would return as Jackie's Doctor.
