Thank You

Donna has had enough of the Golden State. She misses Eric, who, although she doesn't know it, is headed West - despite his parents' objections - to declare his love and bring her home. Kelso, however, has decided he has found the woman of his dreams in Annette, who is beautiful and believes in him.  Back in Wisconsin, Jackie is a changed woman, thanks to a change in boyfriends.

Going to California

As punishment for Donna going away to California, Bob transfers her to a Catholic School, which means that Donna won't get to see Eric as much.  Eric is determined to fight for their right to be together, until he sees Donna in her new school uniform.  Jackie and Hyde get caught making out in the basement; Eric and Donna try to convince them to tell Kelso what's going on.

I Can't Quit You Baby

Kitty joyfully announces that she's pregnant, but the reaction that she gets from Red leaves a lot to be desired. Eric and Donna continue their campaign to get Jackie and Hyde to tell the truth about their relationship to Kelso. A trip to the DMV seems to present the perfect opportunity, but Fez is the one who seizes the day rather than Hyde.

What Is and What Should Never Be

Kitty's parents arrive from Arizona, after being told that Kitty has some wonderful news to share with them. Kitty's news isn't what she thought it would be, and throws a damper on the high spirits. Donna learns a thing or two from Bea about getting people to do things, while Eric and Red learn a thing or two from the World Book about "lady problems." Kelso works out his feelings about Jackie and Hyde's relationship.

Heartbreaker

In a romantic moment, Donna presents Eric with a ring, much like the promise ring that he gave her, and caused their break up.  For Donna, the ring symbolizes their enduring love and committment; for Eric, it symbolizes ugliness.  To protect Donna's feelings, he decides not to say anything, but the secret gains a life of its own.  Kitty is determined not to let menopause affect her life, but has a hard time living up to her committment.

Ramble On

The kids prepare to make a weekend college visit to the University of Wisconsin. There's only one snag in the plan: Donna tells Eric that Bob will not let her go to UW. Instead he wants her to visit Marquette, a small Catholic college. So Donna and Jackie visit Marquette, where Jackie spends her time worrying about Hyde; the guys go to UW with Red and a very irritable Kitty.

Over the Hills and Far Away

When Eric decides to buy Donna a meaningful gift, he ends up getting her an engagement ring. But after discussing it with the guys, he realizes they are too young and the ring was a bad idea. Unfortunately, Eric already told Donna he got her a surprise and on their special evening out, he's put on the spot and forced to make the biggest decision of his life. Meanwhile, in an attempt to lift menopausal Kitty's spirits, Red gets her a dog: Schotzy.

Hot Dog

Eric hides the fact that he's failing math from Red because he wants to prove that he's starting to get serious about his future.  Red is so impressed by his son's apparent maturity that he bumps Laurie from the adults' table at Thanksgiving and gives her seat to Eric.  This makes Eric think that the time may finally be right to announce to his engagement to Donna.  However, the woman that Kelso brings as his date to the Formans' dinner complicates this decision.

The S.A.T. scores have come in and everyone does significantly better than Eric.  He's particularly upset by Donna's high score and blames her for distracting him during the exam.   As a result, Eric enlists Red to help him buckle down and stay away from Donna until he retakes the test.  Meanwhile, Kelso discovers that he may have a bright future and Jackie pushes Hyde towards a college career.

When Fez decides to introduce his new girlfriend, Nina, to the gang, Kitty offers to throw a dinner party for the event. The guys resent being dragged to a dinner party, while the girls are excited at the thought of a grown-up night.

The Girl I Love

Jackie recruits the Formans to help clean out her family's mountain cabin, but decides it best not to ask for Hyde's assistance, instead telling him she is attending a doll expo. With Jackie going away, Hyde seizes the opportunity to use Jackie's cabin and invites Kelso and Fez. Donna and Eric get lost on the way to the cabin and spend the trip fighting. Hyde's plan goes wrong when Kelso gets his hand, holding his stash, stuck in a vase just as Jackie and the Formans arrive.

Misty Mountain Hop

This unpleasant situation gets far worse when Eric finds his grandfather collapsed in the driveway.

Your Time Is Gonna Come

Meanwhile, Kitty goes to the jewelers to pick up a ring she thinks Red got her as a surprise. But she discovers the real surprise: it's actually an engagement ring for Donna.

When the Levee Breaks

Fez wants to make out with Nina at the DMV booth while "Hot Donna" will be signing autographs at the radio station's booth.

Hey, Hey What Can I Do
