David Raether wrote this story where Fred finds out that Jackie has been with about 60 men, while Fred has been with three women (presumably counting Jackie). He has trouble coping with it but Roseanne of course finds a way to make him accept it, by reminding him that he and Jackie are in love and had a baby together, and she lies and says that Jackie said he was the best. On a personal note, I'll say that watching this as a 26-year-old who'd only kissed one guy besides my then about to be ex-husband was a very different experience than watching it in middle age. (Although my total is still much closer to Fred's.)
The other thread is about Dan's father being late with an alimony payment and Dan confronting his dad (Ned Beatty's penultimate appearance in the role), before going to pay his mother the money himself. It was weird to see Ed and Crystal again, because it feels like they belong to a completely different era of the show, and I wished that, as good as the Fred & Jackie plot was, that more time had been spent on this plot. Still, the next episode will focus more on Dan's family.
Future Roseanne writer Bob Nickman here makes his first onscreen appearance, as the Waiter.
