Roseanne dances with a woman there (played by Mariel Hemingway) and then kisses her. The rest of the episode deals with her reactions to this kiss (which apparently freaks her out a bit), and her telling husband Dan about it. The episode was originally scheduled to air on March 1, but ABC has refused to air it and has demanded that the kiss scene be removed.
