* AllJustADream: Or in this case, all just a part of the book Roseanne was writing. As it turns out, the happy moments of the Connor family winning the lottery never happened and Dan really didn't survive his heart attack. At least until the series RetCon in 2018.

* BabiesEverAfter: Along with the plot's focus on David and Darlene's daughter Harris, the finale also reveals that Mark and Becky are expecting, so it seems like it will end this way - before the switch.



* UnreliableNarrator: Roseanne herself in the ninth season, and increasingly so as the revival retcons things like Dan's death and Harris' age (and by extension Darlene's when she had her).
* WhatIf: The whole original series finale was basically a book written by Roseanne who wondered what life would've been like if her family really did win the lottery and if Dan had survived his heart attack. They didn't, leading to the DownerEnding (up until the show's 2018 revival retconned the original ending).

* UnreliableNarrator: This episode reveals Roseanne herself in as having been one for most of the series, ''especially'' during the ninth season, season but stretching back long before that in order to cover the changes to Jackie, Mark, and increasingly so as David. While the revival retcons things like Dan's death finale made it clear that, in that continuity, Dan definitely died and Harris' age (and by extension Darlene's when Darlene and Mark definitely had a baby, it was never clear what else from the show was meant to be 'true'.
* VoodooShark: The revelations raised a ''huge'' number of questions that would never be answered, especially since the whole storyline was eventually retconned. If Becky "brought home" David, did that mean David and Mark's ages were also switched, or did
she had her).
pick up a boy who was only fourteen or so at the time? And so on.
* WhatIf: The whole original series finale final season was basically a book written by Roseanne who wondered what life would've been like if her family really did win the lottery and if Dan had survived his heart attack. They didn't, leading to the DownerEnding (up until the show's 2018 revival retconned the original ending).
