Dan worries that he hasn't heard from Chuck in a few weeks, so he and Darlene decide to check on him. When they visit Chuck, they learn his wife, Ann Marie, has had a stroke and has been in the hospital for weeks.

The house is a mess, but Chuck refuses all offers of help, saying his son, Chuck Jr, will be there soon. Darlene learns that Chuck Jr isn't coming. He moved out of state and can't take time off from work.

Dan is still reluctant to see Chuck. He tells Darlene that he barely got through losing Roseanne and doesn't think he has the strength to get through watching Chuck lose Ann Marie. Darlene points out that Dan got through it because he had family there to help him, and Chuck has no one. Dan agrees and visits Chuck.

Dan understands and tries to help Chuck figure out how to take care of the house and himself while Ann Marie is in the hospital. He also says that Ann Marie knows Chuck won't survive without him, so she'll fight to get back home.
