The curtain has fallen on ABC’s beloved sitcom, The Conners, as the show delivers a heartfelt goodbye after 112 episodes.

A Touching Finale: 'The Truck Stops Here'

In the series finale, titled “The Truck Stops Here,” fans witnessed poignant resolutions to the Conner family’s storylines. Each character embarks on a new chapter: Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) joins the police force, Becky (Lecy Goranson) celebrates her sobriety, and Harris (Emma Kenney) moves into her own apartment, while Darlene (Sara Gilbert) secures a new job. The emotional weight of the finale peaks when Dan (John Goodman) takes his stand in a deposition against the pharmaceutical company responsible for Roseanne’s tragic overdose.

Confronting the Past: Dan's Fiery Deposition

During the intense deposition, the attorney for the pharmaceutical company insinuates that Roseanne had an "addictive personality" and implies Dan should have intervened. Furious, Dan counters, "If you’re saying what I think you’re saying, that might be the last thing you say, you son of a b----." He passionately argues that the company failed to warn about the drug's addictive nature, branding their negligence as the true cause of Roseanne's death.

"Even if I took every penny you had, it wouldn’t be enough, because you took the love of my life and you killed her… The only difference is you handed her the gun and told her it wasn’t loaded," he declares, channeling pent-up grief into a powerful moment.
