This Borns & Gandolfi story manages to be soap-operatically juicy, as several storylines explode, and laugh-out-loud funny.  Gilbert in particular is at the top of her game, showing what so much of this season has missed, but the rest of the cast is solid, too, including Goodman, who again shows what happens when Dan stops controlling his anger.  He blames David for living with Darlene in Chicago, but Roseanne tells a different version of their own second date to show that Darlene isn't as blameless as he thinks.  There's a throwaway line where Dan, in his anger, tells Fred he should sue Jackie for custody, which Fred will take seriously in the next episode.
