'The Conners' Season 3 Episode 6: Why does Darlene kick Harris out? Fans say 'slap the s**t out of her'

It all begins with grandpa Dan requesting they pay rent money for living in the house and ends with people pointing out what a brat Harris can be

Spoilers for 'The Conners' Season 3 Episode 6

Harris Conner Healy (Emma Kenney) has finally returned to the show and she is filled with complaints about her not-so-favorable financial situation as a young adult. Harris, like her peers, would like to protest against the rich, demanding an equal share of wealth distribution between the radical highs and low classes of society. But there's a catch and as her mother Darlene (Sara Gilbert) explains to her,  poor people like them can't afford to take time off from work to attend these protests.

It all begins with grandpa Dan (John Goodman) requesting they pay rent money for living in the house and ends with people pointing out what a brat Harris can be. In fact, they want "Darlene slap the s**t out of her"

Harris quits her job to protest wealth distribution and Darlene regrets not having done enough in her life to provide for her young daughter, the way her parents had back in the day so she could attend her protest and do whatever she could to change the world. But Harris isn't as approving of the idea of her mother asking her to go back to work as she is about living in a tent with the other kids protesting. Darlene tries reasoning with her, but impossibly stubborn, Harris drives her mother to kick her out of the house because she refuses to pay rent. 

Back in the Conners home, when Harris finally returns with some rent money, she quite audaciously throws the envelope at her grandfather Dan, who is already embarrassed by his financial situation that called for such a requirement in the first place. And everything blows up at that point as mother and daughter get into a screaming war about disrespect and protests.

Fans sure took Darlene's side on this one, as they took to Twitter to note: "Teenage Darleen was difficult as dark but she at least (mostly) respected Roseanne and.Dan. Harris respects no one." Another said: "Harris is a mix of Becky and Darlene. She’s a bitch like Becky and a smart ass like Darlene" A fan added: "I was sort of hoping Darlene would slap Harris for being so bitchy towards Dan!! Great scene." Summing it up, a fan pointed out: "Darlene is absolutely right, Harris needs to grow up and go back to work so she can help out with the rent! She is such a brat!" 

The Conners Season 3 airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm only on ABC.
