Ep 10. Thanksgiving '93

The Roseanne season 6 episode 10 is titled "Thanksgiving '93." It's Thanksgiving, and the entire Conner family is gearing up for the big feast. Roseanne and Dan are hurriedly preparing the meal in the kitchen, with Roseanne barking orders and Dan trying to keep up. Becky and Darlene have invited their own guests over – Becky's boyfriend Chip and Darlene's friend Molly – without notifying their parents first. Jackie shows up to help with the cooking, but she's very emotional and testy, making everyone a little uneasy.

Dan frets over the number of turkeys in the Conner's huge oven, questioning whether or not they'll fit. Becky's boyfriend Chip is revealed to be from an upper-middle-class background, causing both Becky and Roseanne to feel inadequate in comparison, to the point where Roseanne goes so far as to say that Chip's parents are probably on the cover of Forbes magazine again.

Jackie's erratic behavior soon culminates in her making a hasty decision to reveal a shocking secret to Roseanne. Her sense of humor and emotional distress prove to be too much, which leads Roseanne to demand an apology from Jackie, and Jackie apologizes, only to burst into tears.

Meanwhile, Darlene and Molly are holed up in the bedroom, with Darlene complaining about how her family doesn't understand her or her friends. Next, we see Dan and Becky spending some quality time together, as she tries to convince him that Chip is really a great guy. The two then share a tender moment reminiscing about the past, and Dan reminds Becky how much he loves her despite everything that's been happening.

All of this is interspersed with scenes of the group setting the table and the kitchen chaos coming to a head. The family is apprehensively waiting for the arrival of Dan's estranged mother, who he has not seen for many years. Her arrival is a tense and emotional moment, made even more complicated by the fact that Becky's boyfriend Chip is trying to impress her. In the dining room, the tension continues to rise, with the guests getting into a heated debate about their respective worldviews.

The episode ultimately concludes with a heart-warming moment of holiday spirit. Roseanne gives a touching speech at the dinner table, acknowledging all the troubles of the past year. Becky, Darlene, and Jackie all thank her for keeping their family together through everything. Everyone sits down to enjoy the meal, and despite the difficulties of the past few hours, it's clear that they're grateful for one another.
