Kitty realizes there isn't anyone left at home for her to take care of and decides to focus on bettering herself, while Eric decides he wants to be an artist and sends a sketch to The Art Institute of Pomona. At his first day of work, Hyde discovers the dress code is business and gets into a dispute. Meanwhile, Kelso attempts to be a respectable man and gives Fez his Playboy collection.

Hyde begins working at W.B.’s office. He expects a rock and roll job, but is stuck in a windowless office doing tedious paperwork. W.B. berates Hyde for dressing too sloppy, and Jackie shows up with a suit for Hyde. Hyde meets Dennis, an unhappy employee who seems to have all his life sucked out of him. W.B. is happy to have Hyde working there, but Hyde slowly goes crazy and envisions his office walls closing in on him. When he gets home, he snaps at Jackie and complains about the office; he’s a changed man. The next day, Hyde tells W.B. he can’t take it. W.B. tells him this is a good opportunity, and that as the boss’s son he doesn’t really have to work hard; instead, give the work to Dennis. Eric sends a drawing in to an art school from an ad he saw in the back of a magazine. He looks forward to being an artist. With all the kids grown up, Kitty feels unneeded, and seeks something to do. She starts taking care of Schotzie, their dog who has been hiding under the house for a year. Donna and Midge invite her to do tai chi with them, then decides to turn their back yard into her tai chi space. She gets a Buddha statue, and Red asks Eric to cement it to the wall. Kitty gets really into tai chi, and Red, lonely with Kitty outside all the time, comes out to watch her. Eric gets a rejection letter from the art school, and accidentally knocks the still un-cemented Buddha statue onto Schotzie. (We see in the credit window that Schotzie survived.) Kelso, inspired by Donna’s edict that he start respecting women, gives his Playboy collection to Fez. Jackie warns Kelso that that’s a dangerous idea. Later, they find Fez passed out among the magazines. He’s snapped and he won’t give them up. The next day Fez breaks down, comes over to return the box of Playboys because he can’t handle them, but he clings to the box and runs out with it.
