Dan (John Goodman) meets his half-brother Ed (Noel Fisher) for the first time in 20 years in this episode. However, this doesn't make sense because Ed's mother was Roseanne's friend Crystal (Natalie West), and she appeared in the final season of Roseanne (the 2018 reboot) in an episode where she retired. Although Dan may have been estranged from his father, he would have still been connected to Ed and his sister through Crystal, a good family friend of the Conners.
