Darlene is fed up with David, who has been secretly living with her for months instead of his mother in Michigan as her parents believe, but feels guilty for constantly lying to them. A miserable Becky unfairly blames Roseanne for Mark walking out on her; tired of being blamed for the whole mess, Roseanne tries to get Mark to patch things up with Becky. Looking for him at his friend's apartment, she discovers the truth of David's whereabouts from Mark's confused roommate and heads to Chicago. She drags David home with her, but lies to Dan about why he's back.
