What if Jackie and Dan had infact hooked up rather that Dan and Roseanne. We get too see Dan and Jackie discover a new found respect for each other as Jackie plays housewife to accomodate for Roseanne who was visiting her ill father. Jackie is shakey at first but her very laid back attitude works well with for the conner children who are all transformed into 'nice' children. Who do things for each other eg. Darlene volunteering to get her brother instead of Becky.
However the final 8 or so minutes has sexual energy devloping between Jackie and Dan. It was cheesy at times however very engaging and it provided interesting insights into these characters. The question of 'what if' Jackie and Dan had married instead is asked. They discuss Dan's job, Jackie's love life and the first time they met, which Dan originally forgets but then remembers. For a second there, I thought they were going to kiss. Thankfully they didn't. But it was a really good episodemoreless
Roseanne is heading to visit her parents once again in Moleen. Jackie steps in as substitute mom and dazzles Dan with her housekeeping skills. Jackie is surprised to learn how Dan really thinks of her and that he remembers the first time they met.

TRIVIA (3)
ADD TRIVIA-
At the end of the episode, Roseanne comes home from seeing her parents in Moline where she tells Jackie she got her haircut and we see her with the new haircut. If you go back, at the beginning of this episode as Roseanne is getting ready to leave to see her parents she's all dressed to go outside in the cold with coat, and a hat dressed to secretly cover up her hair. She has the new haircut at the beginning of the episode.

An Officer and a Gentleman is John Goodman's favorite episode of Roseanne. He likes it because it dealt with something never really talked about-- the "almost" attraction between Dan (John Goodman) and Jackie (Laurie Metcalf). He finds Laurie to be an amazing actress and had fun playing off her in this episode.

As the Conner children go off to school, theme music from Leave it to Beaver plays - an allusion to the normally raucous household uncharacteristically operating functionally. Jackie also hums the theme to herself as she makes breakfast in a scene a few minutes prior to this one.
