The Conners season 5 episode 12 spoilers: Darlene versus Ben

The Conners season 5

If you find yourselves interested in learning a little more about The Conners season 5 episode 12 next week, there’s one word that we could use to describe it: Conflict. Sure, we’ve seen a lot of that over the years with this show, but there could be a few different surprises sprinkled in here.

Want to know more about it, in particular how this particular conflict impacts Becky, Darlene, and Ben all at the same time? Then go ahead and check out the full synopsis below:

“Stuck In The Middle and Stuck In The Past” – Darlene and Ben get into a fight and ignore Becky’s boundaries in the house. Elsewhere, Dan accuses Jackie of losing all of their home videos on “The Conners,” WEDNESDAY, JAN. 18 (8:00-8:30 p.m. EST), on ABC. (TV-PG, DL) Watch episodes on demand and on Hulu the day following their premieres.

What makes this episode stand out, beyond the aforementioned argument, could be the whole home-video storyline. There are very few other shows out there that could dip into its own past like this one could. Will some of these videos be references to the early seasons of Roseanne? We’ve seen multiple generations of this story and thanks to that, the writers have an opportunity to really do something unique here. We don’t mind it when you get into some of that nostalgia; even if The Conners is a very different sort of show in a lot of ways, you can’t just forget some of the stories that existed beforehand.

What else is worth noting?

It may be a weird thing to consider at the moment, but we are actually at the halfway point in the season right now! That’s mostly valuable to know in that it sets our expectations for what could be coming. Also, we tend to just think it’s nice that we are in the midst of the longest season we’ve ever had for the show, which started with some slightly-smaller runs to get things going.
