Harris is forced to confront Darlene about her lifestyle, while Jackie involves herself in other people's problems to avoid confronting her own. Meanwhile, Becky is overwhelmed by the costs of raising a baby, so her family steps in to help.
Desperate for more income, Becky seeks a bartending position at Casita Bonita, causing major concern for Dan due to her struggle with alcoholism. Meanwhile, Darlene finally nears a decision between David and Ben; and Harris' new friend, Odessa, means new trouble.
Jackie learns that the Chinese restaurant is going out of business and sees an opportunity to reopen the Lunch Box, but she's caught by surprise when she uncovers a secret. Meanwhile, Mary gets upset when a woman assumes she is adopted, and Darlene continues to deal with her complicated love life.
Jackie and Becky pitch their business plan to Darlene in hopes of getting the Lunch Box back, but Darlene's decision leads to hostility among the three. Meanwhile, Dan bans Odessa from the house, causing a rift with Harris; and Mark makes extensive Thanksgiving plans that may inevitably fall apart.
Chaos ensues when Dan finally gets the entire family together for Thanksgiving dinner. Mixed feelings about the Lunch Box continue to build tension in the house, and Harris makes an unexpected move. Guest starring is Eliza Bennett as Odessa.

Critic Reviews for The Conners Season 2
All Critics (7) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (1)
It seems the show has returned to its roots as an exploration of the challenges facing a working-class family that mostly avoids partisanship and values diversity. The humor is stilted and awkward at times, but its emotional core remains.
Altogether, these staples produce little flavor; maybe it's the lack of a shadow to emerge from, but "Preemies, Weed And Infidelity" is rarely ever more than just fine.
It's a stellar move that really allows these characters to expand their emotional depths a little bit further.
"The Conners" returns to remind us what primetime used to be. Producers Bruce Helford, Bruce Rasmussen, and Dave Caplan keep the "Roseanne" 90's format intact while still updating it for new viewers.
This season premiere was far from perfect, but it did what I expect of the show, it made me laugh out loud, shake my head, and sometimes yell at the screen.
It's got a strong cast... with Laurie Metcalf and John Goodman leading the way.
The Conners finally feels like the modern day Roseanne we've been waiting for.

Nov 08, 2020Trash. No Roseanne, no show.

Sep 03, 2020I think a lot of people rate this low because Roseanne was written out. I think the show still is funny because the supporting actors carry the show as they did in the 80s and 90s. Goodman and Metcalf carry their still funny interaction while the children and grandmother snip back and forth at each other. The first season was to test the waters I believe, but the second season was great. Every show had the same punch humor of the 90s without the leading star. I always thought the original show was better with the supporting cast rather than with Roseanne. I am glad they kept this on the air. Rate this for the comedic interaction and storytelling, not for what they did to Roseanne.

Jun 28, 2020First season was weird without Roseanne and a little forced. The second has been great. Everything that made the original great is firing again. So happy we're getting a third season.

Mar 26, 2020different show but still witty. Roseanne was excellent until the last 2 years when the show got crazy as her, but this is still good.

Feb 27, 2020Really, really bad. Goodman should have left with Rosanne, he is a good actor. What's he doing there anyway?
