Eric's upset when he learns from Fez that Casey and Donna are going to a motel that night. Kelso begins stalking Jackie when he thinks she's cheating on him. And Bob starts to move too fast with Joanne when his divorce becomes final.

When Kelso tells Jackie, Fez and Hyde that his brother Casey has a surprise for Donna tonight: the honeymoon suite at Le Motel in Kenosha, Hyde tells everyone to keep their mouths shut. If Eric finds out, he'll take it really hard. Hyde says Fez, especially, needs to zip it. They all assure him they can keep a secret. Within minutes, Fez has spilled it all to Eric. Bob and Joanne are at Red and Kitty's when Bob announces that his divorce from Midge is final; now he and Joanne could get married. Joanne's hysterical laughter doesn't go down well with Bob, and he gets up and leaves. Jackie coyly tells Donna that Casey has a big surprise for her that night. She refuses to reveal the surprise, but urges Donna to shave her legs. Eric calls up Le Motel and learns that Casey does, in fact, have a reservation for that night. Kelso says Jackie's cheating on him again, this time with some guy named Phil. He found Phil's number with the cheese that Jackie brought home. He's not going to sit around feeling helpless; he's going to stalk Jackie. When he confronts her about Phil, Jackie tells him that Phil's the store's sausage guy and there's nothing going on between them. Kelso's not convinced. To appease Kitty, Red agrees to talk to Joanne. Eric shows up at the motel looking for Donna but at first only succeeds in finding Leo in a room with two trampy women. When he finds Casey and Donna's room, he hears Donna laughing and doesn't have the nerve to knock on the door. Joanne tells Red she hasn't had good luck with marriage and doesn't want to try again. Red says that Bob's just a nice, loyal, big-hearted guy. Joanne admits that she and Bob are kind of good together. Back in the Forman basement, Eric admits to Kelso, Hyde and Fez that still does have feelings for Donna, but he can't do anything about that, because she has feelings for someone else. Kelso says he has to get to the mall to stalk Jackie. Kitty tells Bob that she thinks he's moving a little too fast. In relationships, moving too fast causes problems. He finally gets it. Kitty tells Red there'll be no more talk of marriage, but Red says there had better be, because now Joanne expects it. At the mall, after he gets kicked out of the cheese store for spying on Jackie, Kelso hijacks the kiddy train to continue stalking her. The next day, Donna wants to know what Eric was doing at the motel the night before. She found out from Leo that Eric was there, and someone kept pulling the fire alarm all night until Donna and Casey left. Donna and Casey spent most of the night in the parking lot. Eric's thrilled that nothing happened. Eric can't resist pointing out that he thinks Casey's totally wrong for her, but Eric and Donna agree that they should stay out of each other's business from now on. And Hyde fesses up to Eric that he pulled the fire alarm to help out his friend.
