Reluctant to leave town, Dan asks Jackie about Roseanne and Edgar Wellman's relationship. Jackie confirms it, but Roseanne eventually agrees to see Dan. They reconcile, but receive a call from Jackie: Darlene has gone into premature labor and is being treated with a drug to stop her contractions.

Darlene gives birth to a premature baby girl that she names Harris Conner Healy. Roseanne consults with specialists from around the world, but what ultimately keeps the baby alive is Roseanne's own grandmotherly love and nurturing.

Jackie and Mark attend a wrestling match, where Jackie ends up fighting the Black Widow (Dot Jones). D.J.'s first sexual experience looms and he consults Mark, who is unhelpful.

Roseanne and Jackie learn that producers want to make a TV-movie about the Conners, but with distressingly drastic changes: gorgeous actors to play the Conners, fewer blue-collar plot twists, etc. Meanwhile, Bev, Leon, and Bev's friend Joyce naively reveal information about Roseanne's life to a tabloid reporter.

Dan's mother Audrey (now played by Debbie Reynolds, before played by Ann Wedgeworth in the 1989 Thanksgiving episode), visits unexpected. She tries to kill Dan for having put her in a mental hospital. Roseanne ends it all with a simple backyard battle.

Darlene and David bring home their baby daughter. When Darlene wants to stay in the Conner nest, DJ begrudgingly moves to David's former space in the basement. When Mark and Becky visit baby Harris, it is revealed that they too are expecting though they keep it secret for now. Darlene worries about overstaying their welcome but Roseanne insists she wants them to stay. Leon and Scott announce they are adopting a little girl.

In the first half, the family talks about life after winning the lottery. In a voice over, Roseanne reflects about her fictional life, revealing that the show itself has been her writing. While her book was based on her life, she changed details she disliked. For example: the Conners did not win the lottery; Dan died from his heart attack; Jackie—not Bev—was gay; and Mark and Darlene, and Becky and David, were the Conner-Healy couples. In the final moments, Roseanne discusses her depression after Dan's death and how it was Darlene's baby's nearly dying that snapped her back into reality. As the show fades to black, Phoebe Snow sings the show's theme song and Roseanne's trademark laugh is heard a final time.
