This episode begins with Halloween at the Connors. They have a seance around the table and Dan and David fool some trick or treaters.
Then Roseanne and Jackie play with the ouija board. They ask when is Roseanne going to have her baby, and it spells out the word "NOW". The scene suddenly changes and Roseanne is in the hospital. Jerry Garcia appears from beyond the grave via a videotape with a message especially for Roseanne. Meanwhile the doctors and nurses are dancing around Roseanne's bedside as though they are accompanying vocalists of some type. In the end, we see that all of this strange stuff was Roseanne halucinating while she was having the baby. Roseanne and Dan's new son Jerry Garcia Connor is born, which is particularly strange since the show has been saying the baby is a girl for months, thus ending the longest pregnancy - over a year - in TV history.
This is the second poorest of the Halloween episodes, the poorest being the one from season nine. It gives a foreshadowing of what we see a lot more of the following year - the absurd and the bizarre replacing the great original comedy of the earlier years.
