Kelso's Serenade

Original Airdate:	March 27, 2000
Writer:	Linda Wallem
Director:	David Trainer

Eric gets in trouble with Donna, because she thinks he's taking her for granted. Kelso writes Jackie a song in hopes of winning her back. And Hyde agrees to go to dinner with Jackie, but only if she's buying.

When Donna asks Eric if he wants to go to the movies the next night and he declines, saying he's hanging out with the guys but she can come along if she wants, he's in big trouble, but he doesn't have a clue. Red and Laurie are depressed when Kitty insists they go with her to the nursing home to visit her Aunt Pearl. Kelso is miserable without Jackie and decides to write a song to win her back. Donna asks Jackie if she's overreacting by being mad at Eric, and Jackie tells her that actually she's under-reacting; she should break up with Eric now before it's too late. Once you let a guy have sex with you, he'll start taking you for granted. An "All In The Family" fantasy sequence follows in which Jackie and Kelso are Gloria and Meathead and Donna and Eric are Edith and Archie. Even though she's broken up with Kelso, Jackie still wants to hang out with Hyde. He reluctantly agrees to go to Sizzler with her when she says she's buying. Eric tells Kelso he's amused to see him with girl trouble; Kelso tells him to wait and see, because Donna will break his heart too. Donna comes in, and Eric jokingly asks her to get him a root beer. She rips his head off and leaves. Kelso has the last laugh. Jackie not only buys dinner but also buys Hyde some new boots. She suggests they get together the following night, and, when Hyde says it was a one time only thing, she starts crying. Hyde immediately feels guilty and tries to console her. At the nursing home, Aunt Pearl tells the Formans that she hates their visits, because she has to put her teeth in. Kelso tries to sing his song to Jackie, but Fez keeps interrupting by singing "Besame Mucho." Both Kelso and Fez get upset when they realize that Jackie has been spending time with Hyde. Red insists that Eric call Donna and apologize before she realizes how much better off she'd be without him. And Eric tells Donna he'll do anything he has to do for them to be together.
