* Jackie's willingness to forgive Fisher after he abuses her makes a lot more sense the more we learn about her and Roseanne's abusive father Al. Roseanne refuses to forgive Al, but Jackie is more apt to blame Bev for being the "real" problem because she allowed it to happen and didn't intervene. The cycle of abuse thus continues, with Jackie making excuses for Fisher just like Bev did for Al--suggesting that Jackie is actually blaming ''herself'' for getting abused. It's a terrifying look at how abusive relationships can warp sane minds into accepting terrible things without question.

!!!FridgeSadness
* In "A Stash from the Past", David unhesitatingly assumes the blame for the pot, ''not'' because Darlene told him to (In fact, later in the episode when she does order him to, he disobeys) but because he's ''afraid'' it's hers and his immediate instinct is to protect her, even to the point of being humiliated and punished for things that weren't his fault. It feels like just another silly moment in a very funny episode, but looked at in terms of his terrible home life before the Conners, it's pretty sad and makes you think about how often he may have had to cover up for his mother, or take the blame for things he didn't do because there was no point in arguing, or to protect his little sisters.

*** Many people who work in construction are capable of installing toilets and working on the plumbing of homes. They normally learn this as a way to both make more money and save money, especially if they're an independent contractor.
