After (barely) recovering from a heart attack, Dan is forced upon a strict diet by Roseanne. He tries cheating along the way, but Roseanne catches him. Afterwards, Dan ultimately rebels against his wife to fight for his right to eat foods that taste good again. This leads to a massive falling out between the two, as they viciously insult everything about each other, including their weight, their differing parental styles, their children, their parents, throwing and destroying property along the way. It ends with the two wishing they never married, and Roseanne storming out of the house, leaving Dan alone with the mess they created.
