Go To

Dan enters a songwriting contest with Roseanne's encouragement, and Jackie fends off her factory manager.

Original airdate, November 29, 1988.

Tropes

  • Belligerent Sexual Tension: Jackie and Booker bicker about their lust for one another in private.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Dan didn't win the radio contest but he plays it for his children to hear.
  • Call-Forward: Another reference is made about Roseanne's love for writing. It is shown through the poem she wrote which Dan put into a song. It's possible that this may be one of the artifacts she found when searching for her writing samples in the season 2 season finale "Happy Birthday."
  • Secret Relationship: The start of one between Jackie and Bookie at Wellman's Plastics.
  • Ship Tease: Booker and Jackie.
  • Workplace Romance: Between Booker and Jackie.
