It is hard to imagine any The Conners fan not missing the show during its lengthy hiatus that began before Christmas. With the arrival of the new year, many hoped for the show to return in the first week of January, although it didn't turn out to be so. Thankfully, the best-rated comedy on ABC network will return on Wednesday, January 11, 2022, at 8 pm EST, after a break of over a month.
The beloved show, which has become a staple in many households, went on a mid-season break after the episode titled The Dog Days of Christmas, which packed ample laughs and drama. The Conners will now return with a new episode, titled Two More Years and a Stolen Rose, and showcase a bittersweet reunion amid other dramatic storylines.

The American sitcom has been the highest-rated ABC comedy for quite some time and has successfully held onto its charm for five seasons straight. This is largely due to the intriguing storylines that the writers of the show come up with for every episode. The upcoming episode, titled Two More Years and a Stolen Rose, is not expected to be any different.
The synopsis from ABC for the upcoming episode of The Conners reads:
"The death of a beloved teacher from Dan and Jackie's high school brings old classmates together; Becky asks Darlene and Ben for a big favour."
It seems Dan Conner (John Goodman) and Jackie Harris (Laurie Metcalf) are going to be the central figures in the upcoming episodes of the show. The new episode will also see Becky Conner (Lecy Goranson) ask a big favor from Darlene (Sara Gilbert). There aren't many details available about this plotline yet, but fans are hoping for it to be an interesting one.
The episode was reportedly written by Dave Caplan and directed by Jody Margolin Hahn and Lynda Tarryk.
