The Conners

A sudden turn of events forces the Conners to face the daily struggles of life in Lanford in a way they never have before.

Darlene is in for one surprise after another when David introduces his girlfriend, Blue (Juliette Lewis), and mentions that Mark and Harris will be spending the weekend with them.

It's Halloween, the favorite time of year for the Conners, but an email from the school banning certain costumes, including Mark's, sets off an argument between Dan and Darlene.

Geena learns that D.J. hasn't been taking Mary to church while she's been away, so insists they go as a family to uphold her traditional values.

A family member drops a life-changing announcement; Dan suspects that Becky isn't sticking to her end of the deal about her drinking; Darlene continues her job search.

With Mark and Mary's help, Jackie convinces Dan to build a chicken coop in the backyard so the family can eat organic eggs.

Dan questions Peter's motives when he learns about the pricey Christmas gift Jackie bought for her new unemployed beau. Elsewhere, Mark and Mary write up their Christmas wish list.

When Becky helps Harris keep a secret from Darlene, it opens up a can of worms that causes a rift between the two sisters. Jackie supports Peter with his Nordic history project.

When Dan gets injured on the job covering D.J.'s vending machine route, the choice to sue the company could lead to D.J. getting fired.

When Ben offers Mark free piano lessons, Darlene finds this as an opportunity to test his parenting skills. Meanwhile, Jackie throws Becky a baby shower.

As Darlene grapples with a life-changing offer from Ben, an unexpected conversation with David turns her world even more upside down.
