Synopsis
Eric and Donna look forward to their move, which is put on hold by Red's convalescence, while Fez laments the fact that Laurie isn't acting like a real wife. Jackie waits too long to decide between Kelso and Hyde, losing them both. Kelso works hard to train for the police academy and fend off Jackie's attempts to make him jealous. Kitty, working overtime, looks forward to Red's doctor clearing him to resume having sex. Sex is exactly what gets Kelso in trouble, when a one-time fling with hot librarian Brooke results in an unintended pregnancy and forces Kelso to prove he can be counted on.
Red reluctantly helps Fez prepare for a meeting with INS agents investigating his marriage to Laurie. Marriage is on Donna's mind as well, while Red is determined that Laurie get a divorce. Jackie's mother returns to Point Place and quickly latches on to Bob. Kitty finds out Hyde's dad is not actually his biological father. Ultimately everyone starts to panic—about babies, about weddings, about the future and the past—leading to epiphanies and life-altering decisions.
