The family barbecue sees Nana Mary's first appearance on the show. Family and friends (except Dan's father and Roseanne's mother) gather at the Connor household for food, drink and singing, and Roseanne's fellow waitress Bonnie (played by Bonnie Sheridan) gets a chance to show what a great singer she really is. Beverley still manages to upset Roseanne and Jackie from the other end of the phone but Nana Mary turns the tables on her.
