Roseanne season 5 episode 14, War and Peace (2), follows the continuation of the war between the Conners and the new neighbors, the Westons. In this episode, the Conners are using several tactics to make the Westons don't feel welcome in the neighborhood. For example, Roseanne takes the day off work to watch her children and loudly blasts her rock music while the Westons are trying to have a peaceful breakfast.
Dan and Roseanne's sister, Jackie, also get involved in the war. Dan decides to take matters into his own hands when he discovers that the Westons have a boat parked in their driveway. He decides to build a wooden fence that will block their boat and prevent them from moving it. Jackie, on the other hand, tries to befriend the Westons but ends up ruining their book club meeting.

During the meeting, both sides air their grievances and talk about why they are behaving the way they are. It turns out that both families are feeling insecure about their place in the neighborhood. The Conners feel threatened by the Westons' wealth and lifestyle, while the Westons feel like outsiders in the working-class neighborhood.
