Lovers Eric and Donna were the perfect study partners, but he falls over his own words into dumping her over an arms race disagreement, then is easily seduced. Kelso thinks he saw an UFO, Hyde nor Fez believe him but are greatly amused by his nude pictures on the same roll Leo brings over. Red imagines being killed by neighbor Bob Pinciotti's tree-pruning and turns human to the point of throwing a party. Sex blackmail sounds as an epiphany to Midge, but Donna is relieved when Eric finally makes up.

Kelso can buy Hippie Leo's El Camino, but doesn't have the $500; Jackie lends him the money if he becomes her slave for a week. Donna gets a job at the local radio, where she is presented as 'hot Donna without a boyfriend', which Eric finds hard to swallow, till he meets the unsightly DJ Jerry Thunder. Red and Kitty are confronted with the bitterness of Earl since Red fired the no-good employee. At the last moment, Leo says he can't sell the car as he promised it to his son for his 16th birthday, but then gives it to...

Fez is addressed after a school team pep rally by kids from rivaling Fort Anderson, who sprayed his butt; at a revenge raid spraying their locker-room, Fez, Eric and Hyde get locked in by the janitor. Jackie and Kelso are obsessed with each-other again, but at Donna's insistence, recalling how he cheated, she decides to test his maturity and suitability; when Donna tells him, he tries hard and inventively. Finding out the Pinciottis have a party but did'n invite them suits Red but infuriates Kitty, till they learn why...

When Jackie says she doesn't want to do it in the car, Kelso offers to have a romantic day, she stretches it to a week. Donna got concert tickets as a bonus at the radio station where she reads the farm report, so the whole gang goes. Hyde 'borrowed' $50 from Eric to make and sell fake fan T-shirts for the rock band's star Ted Nugent, but left the spelling to Fez, who got 'Tad' printed, and there's worse. Red and even Kitty can't remember how they met... Now he's into it, Michael loves being romantic even more then Jackie, to the point of resisting her wanting to do it right there precisely because he's so romantic. Donna meets Ted backstage, but finds the real groupies are just high and stupid; Eric feels ditched.

When Midge Pinciotti leaves her husband Bob, he goes into denial and starts doing put-off jobs in house and garden 'for when she comes back'. Kitty is determined to help Bob and Donna, the Forman men prefer to avoid the house of tears. The boys reminisce how well Midge filled sweaters; Kelso and Fez set out chasing for older housewives 'who are so experienced, willing and grateful', for lack of a tennis court at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store, but are surprised when Kelso pinches a pair of buttocks. As Bob proves too tactile, Kitty sends over still reluctant Eric; when he brings Donna a casserole, to his delight she first jumps that and then his bones.

Donna writes a nasty story in the school paper, obviously taking the mickey out of Eric albeit under fake names and playing in the Victorian age, so when schoolgirls see trough the pseudonyms and scold him as cat-killer, he tries to write his own version... Red is startled that Bob has found a new lady friend -bossy Joanne, who picked him up shopping- and furious as she insists on doing the grilling, in Red's view at the very core of manhood. Kelso hasn't bought a dress for Jackie but half of the pinball machine in the diner, hoping for a 50% profit even each time he plays it; alas nobody else does, and Fez surprises with business sense...

Eric convinces the guys to spend a girls-free night bowling, but Hyde scores an instant-kissing chick on the alley, Jill, which kills the plan. Red and pastor Dave have such fun as basketball supporters that it takes Kitty some insisting to remind the clergyman that mass is his Sunday priority, only to hear Red inspired him to resign! Donna is shocked Bob already sleeps with his new girlfriend Joanne, so her ma Midge is completely out of the picture. Jackie is jealous to find Rhonda is already more in the loop and even has a key to the basement and gets challenged to wrestle...

The gang grumbles Christmas isn't real fun any more, like when they were little kids, except Kelso who looks forward to the traditional X-mas children's specials, but Jackie won't let him watch. Kitty gets them to volunteer for pastor Dave's church pageant, with Eric as director, who has an all too hard time stopping everyone for modernizing their parts most un-biblically. When Dave tries to take over directing and the lead, he is irreverently tied up, enough for Leo to give the sacrilegers heaps. Meanwhile Red is so angry at Bob's seasonal 'noise' that he hides his neighbors' decorations. Yet, in the end...
