Nancy Steen's first of two Roseanne stories, and Cynthia Mort's penultimate of six, picks up where the last episode left off. Jackie comes over, with the babies, and tells Roseanne about winning the lottery. She and then Dan react. At least at this point, the shark isn't dining. This is a funny episode, if bittersweet in retrospect about the Conners' intentions to not let money change them. Had this been any other sitcom we've looked at, it would turn out they didn't win the lottery and life would go back to normal. (As happened, for instance, on Gilligan's Island.) Note that Darlene is more emotional due to pregnancy hormones.
Tory Christopher, who's a Conner cousin here, would be an Audience Member later in the year. This is the last we'll see of Adilah Barnes as Anne-Marie; I wish they'd found more to do with her character, especially in recent seasons. I'm less concerned about the loss of John McConnell as Bob, although he did what he could with the role. I'm omitting Cole Roberts and the Hazen twins from the overcrowded tags.
