The gang is planning a ski trip to Jackie's dad's cabin, but when Jackie finds out that Kelso was making out with another girl behind the gym, he's no longer invited. Kelso's amazed that everyone's going without him, but Eric says that it's really important to him to be spending the weekend with Donna. On the way to the cabin the Vista Cruiser gets stuck in the snow; already Jackie has begun to miss Kelso and tells everyone that this was the weekend they were going to have sex for the first time. The guys can't believe this news, but Donna confirms that Kelso and Jackie have never had sex. Kelso talks to Kitty about his problem, and she advises him to get to the cabin as quickly as he can and make things right with Jackie. Kelso hitches a ride with a trucker who is clearly attracted to him, but Kelso is oblivious; at first he's defensive about being left behind by his friends, but during the course of the ride Kelso comes to the conclusion that you can't treat others as sexual playthings. The truck driver, touched by Kelso's sincerity, stops the truck and lets him out, warning him that he's too pretty to hitch. At the cabin, Jackie's in tears, while Fez gets drunk and wanders around outside until he's nearly frozen. While Eric's busy trying to help Fez, Hyde takes the opportunity to hit on Donna who quickly puts him in his place. Michael arrives and apologizes, and Donna and Eric spend the rest of the evening in front of the fire. It's not quite like they'd imagined it, because they're joined by Fez who can't stop throwing up.
