Another wedding is on the horizon for the Conners. Ben proposed to Darlene in a surprise twist on The Conners Season 4 Episode 18. how does it turn? as well as the joy of having Christopher Lloyd back as Mark’s new contrabassoon teacher.
Darlene has drawn up plans for her new house. She wants to finish the basement so Mark and his pals have a place to hang out. Ben, on the other hand, believes that renovating the basement is unrealistic. One of his recommendations was for the master bathroom to include two sinks, presumably for resale value. Darlene should just put a stop to it.

But, as Ben soon admitted to Becky, he imagined that second sink for someone who loves Darlene and wants to live with her “someone who has a railroad spike through their head and can no longer feel dignity.”
Darlene shot Becky down when she informed her Ben was still interested. She’d finally come to the point where she could live with only one sink, and she intended to leave it at that. Later, while investigating the stones in the chimney on the roof of the house, Ben and Darlene dispute. Darlene believes Ben tries to undermine her independence, and Ben believes Darlene never listens to him. All of that changed, of course, when Darlene’s roof collapsed under her feet due to a squabble between ex-boyfriends. Ben rushes to Darlene’s help after she falls through the crumbling wood on the roof. He said, “I’m just so happy you’re not dead,”
Ben takes Darlene to the hospital and proposes to her there. Ben later gave Darlene a teddy bear from the gift store in the emergency room. Darlene had Paul return it after finding it was $50, but not before ripping off the tag and converting it into a makeshift engagement ring. He knelt down and put it on her ring finger.

“When you fell through the roof, I thought I lost you,” he said. “And then all that stuff about who did what to whom in the relationship just became… meaningless.”
Darlene sought assurance that Ben would no longer hold a grudge against her for past transgressions before she accepted yes to Ben’s proposal. “All is forgiven,” he assured her. “I just want us to spend the rest of our lives together,” Darlene says.
Christopher Lloyd repeated Roseanne’s appearance as Lou Vitori, Beverly’s ex-boyfriend (and Mark’s new contrabassoon coach) in another scene in the episode.  Dan believes Lou is being too harsh on Mark and threatens him to lighten up. Mark claims that he can endure anything Lou throws at him in order to go where he wants to go once Lou quits. Mark instructs Dan to contact Lou and request that he return.

Dan expresses his regret to Lou. Lou believes Mark will not be good enough to obtain a college scholarship in the time allotted. Dan assures him that no one cares more about this than Mark and that if Lou is as good as he claims, Mark will be proud of him. Lou agrees to return. Mark dialed his great-number, grandmother’s but the 94-year-old did not answer the phone.
