Ep 3. Like, a Virgin

In the third episode of the third season of Roseanne titled "Like, a Virgin," the Conner family deals with issues surrounding sex and virginity.

The episode begins with Roseanne overhearing Darlene and Becky discussing their sisterly bond over keeping their sexual histories a secret from their parents. This prompts Roseanne to worry about her own relationship with Becky and her ability to be a good parent.

Meanwhile, Dan is frustrated with his inability to communicate with his daughter, and tries to bond with her over motorcycles. However, his efforts are met with resistance from Becky.

In an attempt to start a conversation about sex, Roseanne tells Dan about a story in the newspaper where a woman claims to have lost her virginity at age 47. This leads to a conversation between the couple about their own sexual history, where they reveal that they both lied about their virginity to each other when they first slept together.

Later, Becky and her friend Dana plan to go to a party where there will be alcohol and boys. Roseanne and Dan become concerned for their daughter's safety and attempt to keep her from going. However, this ultimately results in Becky lying about her plans and sneaking out of the house.

The episode ends with Roseanne and Dan finding out that Becky went to the party and putting their family issues aside to come together and figure out how to deal with the situation.

Overall, "Like, a Virgin" is a thought-provoking episode that deals with the complex and sometimes uncomfortable topic of sex and sexuality within a family setting.
