Character[]
Leia Forman is the daughter of Eric Forman and Donna Pinciotti. She is smart like her mom and snarky like her dad. Leia is craving adventure, but she is just not quite sure where or how to start. Until she discovers a best friend in the most unlikely of places: next door to her grandparents' house in Point Place.
Series arc[]
On July 3, 1995, Leia and her parents arrive in Point Place, to spend there The Fourth of July weekend.
Later in the kitchen, Eric mentions he is now an adjunct professor at the university and his class “The Religion of Star Wars” is very popular. Red expresses his disapproval, while Leia says that she is going to shoot some hoops in the driveway. Eric tells his father that both him and Leia would be going to Alabama for a Space Camp, which does not excite her. Kitty notices this and says that her granddaughter needs space.
Outside, Leia hears a girl singing, so she walks to her window and is caught by the girl, who calls her a creeper. Leia apologizes and says that she has a bootleg from Chicago, which she says she will get for the girl, whose name is Gwen. In her room, Gwen and Leia talk about their hobbies. Leia says that she is part of the debate club, which makes the girl say that popular people suck. Gwen teases her brother Nate by playing music loudly, which makes Leia laugh.
Kitty tells Eric that she feels sad when he leaves, while Leia walks into the kitchen, greeting and saying goodbye simultaneously until she is stopped by Eric, who catches a nose ring on her. Eric has no idea who Gwen is, so Leia says that she is their neighbor and has an older brother as a chaperone. Eric says that she can go, but he wants her back before fireworks. Red feels for his son, but also says “payback’s a bitch.”
At Gwen’s house, Ozzie cheats at Uno. Gwen tells Leia that both her and Ozzie had met in detention after he told his math teacher that his wife was cheating on him. Nate comes downstairs followed by his girlfriend Nik and a boy with great news. Jay sits next to Leia, who gets nervous by him. Nate says that while parked, someone mistook them and thought they were there to pick up a prepaid keg, which they took with them. However, they still need a tap.
Ozzie is impressed by how difficult it is to open the beer as Nate hits the keg. Leia says that they should go back to Mamma’s to buy a tap, but Jay says that it is not easy to do. Gwen and Nik are calm, as the former mentions that Leia should buy the tap because Mamma does not know her. Leia agrees to do it, but Ozzie says that it would not work because Leia would get carded.
Leia walks into Mamma’s store as a pregnant woman and tries to buy the tap. Mamma realizes that she is underage and is about to call the cops. However, Leia asks how she would explain selling a keg, which Mamma says she did not do. In the end, Leia gets the tap, which makes Gwen proud. She tells Leia that she should stay, and even though Leia is hesitant at first, she wants to be best friends with Gwen.
Eric says that he wants to treasure his time with Leia, but he is not able to because she gets in so much trouble. He is surprised when Leia walks in and with beer. Donna is also in shock, while Red and Kitty watch in delight. Leia says that she had a great time and wants to stay with her grandparents for the summer. Donna encourages him, while Eric is in disbelief and says that she cannot stay.
After that, Eric goes downstairs, where he finds Leia laying down. He tells her that after giving it some thought, she should stay. Leia apologizes, and Eric hugs her, saying that he would miss her.
As Eric and Donna prepare to leave, Kitty, Red and Leia say their goodbyes, while Eric says that while he is gone, he wants Leia to hang out with her friends in the basement as much as possible, which angers Red.
Kitty says that she would give Leia’s friends snacks, as her granddaughter walks in with Jay, who says his last name is Kelso, which Red cannot believe. Michael Kelso shows up, saying that he is very proud of his son. Kitty greets Michael, who hugs her before telling Red that he needs to watch Leia’s intentions with his son.
In the basement, Kitty welcomes Leia, Ozzie, Jay, Nik, Nate, and Gwen to their basement, as Red tells them the ground rules.
The teenagers look through old stuff, and Gwen finds a bag, saying that Leia’s grandmother had “hooked them up”.
Jay, Leia, Nate, Nik, and Ozzie smoke weed in Leia’s grandparents’ basement, each of them feeling different effects of being high except for Ozzie, who decides not to smoke. Leia says that she would get snacks, but forgets she was being asked for Raisin Bran.
Leia walks upstairs, only to find out that there is no Raisin Bran. She overreacts, which makes Red ask her if she is okay. Red and Kitty talk to Leia as she is confused by the effects of the marijuana.
Nate, Jay, Nik, and Ozzie walk into Red and Kitty’s room, trying out different clothes. Leia walks in and says that she has never dared step foot in her grandparents’ room before they are quickly kicked out by Red. Kitty hands them all cupcakes on their way out, as Red tells Leia that since he had lived this once before, he would lay down some ground rules this time, such as no eating his food, drinking his drinks and no going in his room. Kitty tells Leia to invite her friends over for a movie night the next day.
Choosing a movie, Leia is having a hard time choosing something not dorky. Asking for help, she finds Jay, who is startled by her. She asks him about a generic movie, which he ends up suggesting a name for. She says that “Clerks” is the movie she had in mind even though she had never seen it, but it was out. In order to get the movie, Leia writes down who had the movie.
Kitty thinks it is crazy that Leia went all the way to someone’s house for a movie. They knock on the door and Leo opens the door, having a hard time concentrating from all the weed he had been smoking. Leia asks him about the movie, but he is not making any sense, so Leia tricks him into giving them the movie.
In the basement, Leia hands Nate, Nik, Ozzie, Gwen and Jay a Raisin Bran, which does not seem to excite anyone. She plays the movie, but it turns out that it is only a recording of Leo talking about some of his life experiences. Leia asks if they have any fun stories to share, but Nate starts choking on the Raisin Bran until he is helped by Nik. Jay starts choking, and Leia leaves because she had wanted it to be a perfect night.
Leia leaves, followed by Gwen. Leia tells her she is a fraud since she had never even seen “Clerks”, and actually loves “Free Willy”. Gwen does not care, but asks why she had melted down before. Leia says that she feels like an impostor because they are all very close and cool, but Gwen tells her that she has a basement, adding that their town is boring and she actually found a bunch of people who do not fit in. Nate runs upstairs and tells them that he found weed.
In the basement, Leia hands Nate, Nik, Ozzie, Gwen and Jay all smoke weed and talk about how much they love “Free Willy”. When Willy jumps, even Ozzie gets very excited, which surprises everyone.
Nik and Nate make out as Leia walks down to the basement. Jay tells Leia they do not care, and as Gwen mentions kissing, Gwen and Ozzie realize that Leia had not kissed anyone yet. Leia says that she wants to kiss someone, so Gwen says that they need to get her to kiss someone and proposes they go the mall, which Leia agrees to. Ozzie says that he has kissed a boy named Etienne, who Leia says is his fake Canadian boyfriend.
At the mall, Red tells Leia, Gwen, and Ozzie that he had driven them so they could get out of his house. Red tells them that he would stay in a massage chair reading his paper.
Gwen comforts Leia, as Ozzie keeps on saying he has a Canadian boyfriend. Leia tries flirting with different boys to no avail. Eventually, a mall cop tells her she needs to leave. As she tells Gwen they need to go, they find her making out with a boy herself.
Leia asks what is wrong with her, as Ozzie mentions she is desperate. Gwen suggests she kiss Jay, as he is always flirting with her and he is a Kelso, which means he is a "man-whore".
Jay meets Leia alone, as the latter makes a lame excuse as to why they are alone. Leia points out how nice the sky looks and mentions it is romantic, but Jay is distracted. Leia makes a kissing face, but Jay says that he would not kiss her because she is cute, smart, and interesting, not wanting her to be meaningless and wants to kiss her if it is special.
At the mall, Leia tells Gwen, Sherri, and Ozzie that even though things did not work out the way she wanted them to, she is not worried and is excited for what is next. Sherri says that she feels the same way, as Ozzie asks if she would wait around for Jay, which Leia says she would not do because he had told her she was cute, smart, and interesting which Gwen had been telling her all along. She says she is now more confident, takes some mints and kisses the boy she had wanted to kiss before.
Ozzie says that he wants to go to a rave in Milwaukee, but Gwen says that she had experiences with drugs at a rave once. Leia says that she wants Jay because she does not know where things are going and wants a boyfriend.
In a front yard, Nate and Nik cannot believe that Jay did not kiss Leia, but Jay starts to realize that the reason he did not kiss her is because he likes her. Nik tells Jay to go tell Leia he likes her, but he says that his dad always told him never to tell a girl he likes her first because it gives them all the control in the relationship, using Nate and Nik as an example.
Gwen tells Leia that she does not know if she is ready for Jay because he is a player and she had only had her first kiss while Jay had had sex in a lake. Ozzie and Gwen want her to be okay, as Ozzie mentions that during labor day, he had left many Jennifers crying. Gwen tells her to be smart about dating Jay, so she decides to let him come to her first.
Watching TV, Kitty says she loves Law & Order, as Red asks her not to talk during the movie. However, she is unable to do so, talking about how cute Leia is. Red tells Kitty that they are not meant to be friends with kids.
Nik cannot believe that Jay's plan is to wait for Leia to see him all oiled up, as he applies oil to his chest. He says he also has his guitar, as both Leia and Gwen come outside. Gwen says that he looks like a wet hotdog, which he takes as a compliment, and Leia is not able to hide her smile and blushes profusely.
Gwen and Nik talk alone about how Jay actually likes Leia, but will not approach her because it is "not allowed in his family". Gwen says that Leia would not be asking Jay out either, so things were over, as they see Jay flirting heavily with Leia.
Leia walks into her room, where she finds Nik waiting for her. Nik tells her to tell Jay she likes him, which she says she cannot do. Gwen and Ozzie walk in, so Nik tells Leia that she has tickets to a movie, which she could use with Jay. However, Leia says that she already has plans; since they cannot come up with one, Ozzie says that they would be going to a rave in Milwaukee, which Nik says they would be going to as well. Leia says that she would never be allowed to go to a rave and feels bad about lying to her grandparents.
Downstairs, Leia tells Red and Kitty she and Gwen would be going to a movie, but does a terrible job of lying. As soon as he closes the door, he tells Kitty they were lying, but she believes in Leia.
At the rave, Jay tells Nik and Nate that he put on a bunch of pheromones. Leia tells Gwen she thinks the car smells horrible, also saying that she brought the glow sticks and pacifiers. However, they realize that they did not bring Ozzie and had left him in the driveway.
Leia says that she has had enough and would be talk to Jay, so she walks up to him. They agree that things had gotten weird between them since everyone got involved. Leia proposes that they tell each other how they feel after a countdown. However, after the countdown, Leia tells him that she likes him and he celebrates, which makes her tell him he is a player. He says that is an ugly stereotype, but Leia says that she does not like that side of him. Jay says that it does not matter if she is into him because the rave had many hot girls, to which Leia replies that there were guys there as well, also telling him he smells terrible.
After some time, Jay is surrounded by girls, while Leia dances with Gwen. Leia decides to step it up, but is not able to get attention with her bad dancing moves.
Now Kitty opposes Red's "bad cop" routine, by trying to talk sweetly to Ozzie. With that, Ozzie says that he would tell her where Leia was, revealing her to be in a rave in Milwaukee. Kitty gets up furious that her granddaughter had lied to her.
Gwen tells Leia to stop dancing with only her, as the latter moves away and is found by Red. Later, she says that she cannot believe she had grinded on her grandpa, who would kill him. She blames Gwen, but she simply tells Leia that she should do what she feels is right without anyone holding her back, so she should go get Jay if she really wants him. However, she does not know what she wants anymore.
Red and Kitty walk into the living room, telling Gwen to leave. Leia apologizes, but Kitty and Red are very mad, saying that she was grounded for a week. Red tells her he is glad she is home safe and is happy to be the good cop, while Kitty realizes she likes being the bad cop, which Red says is how he feels all the time.
Playing some basketball, Leia is approached by Jay, who says that he got busted as well, due to his Tiger Sweat pheromones which had burned a hole in their carpet. Jay says that he wants to apologize, saying that he really is the person she thought he was. He proposes another countdown, but after the end, Leia says that she thinks they should just be friends so things would not be complicated.
Later, Leia tells Gwen that she told Jay that so she had all the power.
Jay sarcastically tells Leia that he loves just being friends, as Gwen tells Leia that what she did work. After that, Nate and Jay go to get the hot tub.
Ozzie makes himself a sandwich as Leia comes upstairs and tells him he does not need to help her grandparents with installing their computer. However, Ozzie says it is part of a bigger plan which would be coming out to her grandmother.
Leia asks Ozzie why he wanted to come out to her grandmother, to which he replies that she is step seven in his 16 step plan, which would end up being his parents. The previous step had been coming out to strangers who he would never see again. The next step would be coming out to an adult who he sees all the time, which is why he had chosen her. However, Ozzie asks Leia to feel her grandmother so he can tell if she is the right person to tell.
Nate is excited to see the Jacuzzi, but Jay is not feeling very good because of what had happened with Leia.
Leia tells Kitty that she wants to talk about her friend; which Kitty misinterprets as Leia wanting to talk about herself. However, her granddaughter tells her that she wants to talk about something that is a big deal because once it is done, they cannot go back. Kitty tells her not to worry about it because she is ready to talk whenever, saying she is very cool. However, after she is done talking to Leia, Kitty calls Donna and tells her that her daughter was about to have sex.
Kitty is very excited when Ozzie tells her about finally going online. Ozzie tells her that he wants to tell her something. Kitty wonders if he is okay, but as he is about to tell her, Donna bursts through the door wondering where her daughter is. Leia wonders what is happening, as Donna asks her if Ozzie is her "sex boy", which confuses them both. Donna tells Leia that she got her condoms, but Leia tells her that she is not having sex, but in order to help keep Ozzie's secret, she says that she is having urges. Donna tells her that they need to have a sex talk.
Leia tells Donna that she is not comfortable with the sex talk beacause even though she did like a boy, she has not even kissed him yet and has not told him how she feels. Donna tells her that her dad was the same, but no matter how many times he had messed up, they always ended up back together.
Leia tells Ozzie that she is sorry his moment had been ruined, but he thanks her for having covered for him. Donna tells Leia that she would be going home and apologizes to both Ozzie and her daughter.
Ozzie tells Gwen and Leia that step seven would now be to tell his pediatrician. Jay walks in, so Leia asks herself how long she had to keep the friend thing going. Ozzie tells her that if he could come out to her grandmother, then she can tell the guy who knows she likes him that she likes him.
Leia stands up from the table and walks over to Jay, about to tell him, but the girl from the hot tub, Serena, walks in. She tells Jay about Nate's goat and how they have a nice story for their first date. Leia gets nervous when this happens.
Ozzie does not want to watch 90210 anymore, but Leia tells him it is a cope mechanism after what she calls a breakup between her and Jay. Nik, Nate, and Gwen walk in and tell her she needs to get it together. Leia wonders how long it will take her to feel better again, but her friends encourage her to feel better by smoking weed and giving her a sweater for her birthday. Leia is excited to turn 15 and says that it will be a new year for her.
Kitty tells Red that Donna and Eric would not be joining them for Leia's birthday due to Eric falling down from his bunk bed in Space Camp. Kitty says that she will be throwing a classic birthday bash, but Red tells her to not get stressed out this time, but she is already stressed. Bob Pinciotti walks in, much to Red's dismay and greets Leia, followed by everyone else congratulating her.
Nik is concerned due to Nate having spelled her name wrong on a birthday card before sitting down next to Leia's, who was treating Gwen and Ozzie to lunch for having taken care of her. Ozzie laughs when she mentions she had not been that bad, but Gwen is relieved that she is finally better. However, Jay walks in with Serena, which worries Gwen and Ozzie. Leia walks over to them and greets them awkwardly, before inviting them to her party.
Leia tells Ozzie and Gwen that she is not over Jay, which they already knew. She says that it is all her fault because she is obsessing over him, but not actually going after him like what happens in 90210. Leia tells them that she needs to change her attitude into that of someone popular, saying that she will show them in her party.
Leia tells Gwen that she will wait for Jay and go after him. However, after an hour, he still does not show up. She imagines David from 90210 there, but she is surprised by Gwen, who she tells that she is done being pathetic. As soon as the doorbell sounds, she throws herself at the door and opens for Bob, who tells her that she will sing for her. He sings a very inappropriate song, which Nate and Nik dance to romantically. Red offers Leia to get some air, which she accepts.
At their driveway, Leia tells Red that she was not having a lot of fun so far, but Red tells her to give herself a break. She complains that it seems like she s making everything up while everyone has everything figured out, which Red tells her is not the case. Both of them hug, and Jay gives tells her that he got her a car, which used to belong to her father. He adds that the next day, they would get her her learner's permit while he taught her to drive.
In her room, Leia gets a knock in her window from Jay, who tells her that it did not feel right to show up to the party from Serena. Leia admits she does not know why she had invited her, but mentions that she wanted him to be there, which he says he wanted as well. Jay says that at least he could wish her a happy birthday before it was too late and both of them kiss. Leia tells him he needs to break up with Serena, which he agrees to before Jay takes them for a ride on Leia's new car. However, they are soon pulled over by a police officer.
Red and Kitty cannot believe that Leia and Jay were pulled over by the cops twenty minutes after he had given her the car, which they blame on Jay because he is a Kelso. Leia tells them to stop because they are finally holding hands and the reason they were pulled over was because of the 1980's plates. Jay tells them to give him a chance, but Red bans him from their house.
Jay stands on the porch, refusing to really step into the house in case the Formans come back home. Leia encourgaes him, while Sherri walks in and says that she would be taking some groceries from their house. Leia tells Jay to come in, while Sherri says that Red is acting like her dad and mentions that adults should be understanding, even though she is still unsupportive of Gwen getting a tattoo. Leia says that Jay and her should go pick up her grandmother, which Jay reluctantly agrees to and Sherri lends them her car.
Jay, Leia, and Gwen pick up a very wound up Kitty who will not stop singing and jumping, joined by Gwen. Leia tells her friend not to encourage her grandmother, while Gwen mentions that there is a tattoo shop nearby. Leia and Jay refuse to stop along the way, but Kitty and Gwen force them to do so by covering Jay's eyes.
Leia and Jay are worried that Red will beat them back home as Gwen and Kitty go back in. Gwen mentions that she did not get a tattoo in the end, as Kitty shows up with one of her own on her forearm.
After Kitty got a tattoo, Gwen says that she at least did not get a worse tattoo, while Leia apologizes. Everybody hears a car pull up and Jay refuses to leave. Red walks in and asks Kitty about her day, wondering what Jay was doing there. Leia says that her boyfriend bought the chicken, which Kitty uses to cover up the tattoo.
Red tells everyone that he is very disappointed in them, but especially Jay. Leia tells his grandfather that he never gave Jay a chance. Jay apologizes for what had happened and says that he wants to be worthy of dating Leia, but Jay tells him to get out. Sherri says that nobody got hurt, but Red states that his wife has a tattoo after he had asked her for a simple favor. Sherri tells him to screw himself and leaves.
Red walks into Leia's room, saying that if she really likes Jay, he will give him a chance, but she cannot have him upstairs or go on joyrides with him. She says that she will tell him next time they see each other, but Red finds him in a closet.
In the basement, Leia tells everyone that she has a hickey from Jay in order to get attention, which nobody can see. Gwen says that she is getting used to her and Jay being a couple. Nik asks if things were happening between them and if she touched "it," which Ozzie says he doubts. Leia says that she did not know she was supposed to and says that she was not going to touch "it". Jay walks in and asks what she would be touching as Nate has a hard time getting an umbrella in the house.
Later, Leia tells Nik that now she is overthinking everything that happens between her and Jay.
Upstairs, Jay realizes that Kitty has a lot of identical boxes, making it hard for him to find the stash. Jay tells his friends, and Leia grows desperate, as Gwen says that they should split up and look for it. Gwen goes with Nate, Ozzie goes with Jay, and Leia is teamed up with Nik, who says they would cover the basement, which meant the same as doing nothing. Jay gives Leia a kiss and she throws her arms back awkwardly, which makes Nik question what had just happened. Nik makes fun of her, but Leia says that she does not know what is happening with her.
Leia tells Nik that she now feels uncomfortable kissing her boyfriend, but Nik tells her not to worry, saying boys are not complicated and telling her to put her hands on his hips when kissing him.
Jay tells Leia that her grandfather has the stash, which freaks her out, but Ozzie acts innocent, which Nik says she respects. Jay says that he would go get it, but wanted to say goodbye to Leia first. As they kiss, Ozzie interrupts them and Leia ends up putting her hand on Jay's crotch, which makes everyone feel awkward because Leia does not remove it.
Leia tells Nik that she feels terrible because of how weird everything is and wants to be like Nik and her relationship. However, Nik says that her relationship is not always easy due to her and Nate's different future paths and they have very dumb fights, so things would never be perfect.
Jay and Ozzie tell Nik and Leia that they got the stash, and Leia tries to apologize, but Jay pretends he does not know what she is talking about. Ozzie tells her that that was all Jay had been talking about and Leia says that she feels weird now and wants to be fun and comfortable. Jay says that that is what he wants too.
Leia and Nik are happy to be smoking again, as Nate and Gwen laugh together. Jay and Ozzie are happy as well, joined by the wooden moose that Nate was supposed to move. As it stops raining, the teenagers go outside and dance together. Leia and Jay kiss without it being awkward and they sit together on the driveway.
As Ozzie mentions he does not remember going outside, Leia says that she hopes summer never ends. However, Sherri walks outside and says that their school had sent their schedules and summer was finally going to end. Leia cannot believe summer is almost over.
Gwen asks Leia if she was going to blow her off, since they already had plans to sneak into the country club, but Leia says that she had totally forgotten. Leia says that she would cancel with Jay, which Ozzie says is weird and calls her a double booker.
In the woods, Leia and Jay walk together in the woods, as Leia is in a rush, saying that she might have to leave early because she would have to go back to Chicago early. However, Jay says that they are lost and they ask Leo to help them get to the overlook.
At the country club, Gwen complains about Leia, as Ozzie orders a drink. Leia makes it, but Gwen says that she does not care about what she had gone through to get there and ignores her friend because of how important the plan was to her. She tells Leia to leave and go to Chicago, telling security that Leia is not a member.
As Leia walks into her basement, she sees Nate on the couch. He asks her to pour water in his mouth because he could not move, so she helps him. Nate asks what she was doing there, and she says that his sister had said some mean things to her. Nate tells Leia to forgive her because she is like that sometimes, especially since she is sad to be losing her friend. However, Leia says that Gwen would be doing cool stuff while she went back to Chicago, which Nate says would not be the case. Leia says that she would be sad to lose Gwen and he tells her to tell his sister.
In her room, Gwen is laying down on her bed, while Leia says that sometimes distance can make people closer. Gwen tells her not to try talking about them, while Leia says that wherever she goes, she would be talking to her best friend because they are stuck together.
Jay tells Nate to push as he is still unable to move from the couch. Jay apologizes for not being there for him, but Nate mentions that Leia had helped him, telling his friend that he had lucked out with her, but Jay says that he did not believe he would not be able to make things work out between him and Leia when she leaves.
Ozzie, Nik, and Gwen pose for a photo as Leia tries taking them. Jay walks in, saying Nate has a keg while he has snacks. Nate mentions it is the same beer as the 4th of July. Ozzie mentions that they cannot be that desperate, but they all end up dancing as they drink it. Leia asks Ozzie if he will be sad when she is gone, but Ozzie says he will not. Nate gets confused and says that he thought things would get weird when he told Leia about them breaking up before she leaves, but he tells him he had not mentioned it yet, as Leia stands in disbelief.
Leia cannot believe Jay is breaking up with her, telling him she was only one of his "summer things", proceeding to spray his genitals with cheez whiz. Jay says that long distance relationships are tough, but Leia does not believe he will not even try. Ozzie and Gwen tell her that she should think things clearly, but she leaves.
Kitty is in a good mood, but admits to Red that she was not in such a good mood until she realized that her granddaughter would not be gone for long because her boyfriend and best friend live there. Kitty tells Leia that Jay had called her, but she hangs up on him. Gwen walks into the kitchen, wondering if she was feeling better, but she is not.
Gwen tells Kitty that Leia had broken up with Jay, which worries Kitty since she would not be wanting to come back. As Red finally enjoys peace and quiet, a tree falls into his house.
Leia complains about her friends, saying that they used their basement, ate her popsicles and turned her life upside down. As Kitty mentions coming back, Leia says that she wants to leave as soon as possible. Donna walks in, while Leia says that when her boyfriend broke up with her, she took it out on Gwen, so she needs to leave. Leia tells Donna that she feels stupid because her summer is ruined, but Donna tells her that she understands what it is like to be broken up, saying that her friends helped her get through it.
Leia finds Nate in his house, but he says that Gwen is out. Leia says that she wanted to apologize because she had overreacted, but did feel that the fact that everyone was agreeing with Jay made it worse. Nate says that in reality, he agrees with Leia because of his own problems with his girlfriend. Nate says that love is very powerful and they reach the conclusion that it is very lucky to find a special person who understands you. Nate and Leia almost kiss, but are interrupted by Gwen, who walks in and is shocked. After Leia runs away, Nate says that there was a fly on his junk.
Leia and Gwen sit down, as Leia is not able to explain how she was about to kiss her brother, which makes her shudder. Gwen remembers Leia when she first had gotten there and how she was so innocent. She tells her friend to go back to Chicago until she came back the next summer, which she could not wait for. Gwen gives Leia a spray can so they can break another law.
Leia thanks Red for everything, and he tells her that the basement was off-limits until she returned. Kitty tells her that her friends could use the basement whenever they want while she is gone. Nate walks up to Leia, and she tells him they do not need to talk about it, but he mentions that it had meant something to him, which she admits to as well after. Jay shows up followed by Ozzie, Nik, and Gwen, saying that he was glad to have caught up to her because he was wrong and is not ready to give up on them, begging for another chance. Leia tells him that is very sweet, but she is very confused. Jay kisses her, so Gwen rescues her as Donna makes it to the car. Leia apologizes to Nik, but Gwen does not allow her to explain. As Leia leaves, Ozzie finally cries, wanting her to come back.

Before Leia's leave, Nate comes to her, wanting to talk about what happened before, but is interrupted by Jay, who comes to speak to Leia as well.
Trivia[]
- Leia's name is a homage to Princess Leia, since her father Eric is famously obsessed with Star Wars. Her mother Donna, being a feminist, would understandably agree to name her daughter after a rebellion leader.
- Of course, since Leia was born in the start of the 80's, Eric wouldn't have known that Leia and Luke were brother and sister since "Empire Strikes Back" was release on May 21st, 1980 (almost two months before Leia was born).
- She is 14 when the show starts (in July 1995) and turns 15 in Episode 6.
- Considering the earliest she could have been conceived was 1/1/80 (due to That 70s Show ending when it became 12:00 AM on that day), Leia was likely a premature birth; though this may be an oversight of the writers.
- In 2023, she would have been 42 or 43 years old.
- Like her father when he was a teenager, she is a snarky smart mouth and her behavior caused him to utter his father's signature threat "My foot in your ass".
- Similar to her mother and aunt, she has been involved with a Kelso.
- In "That 90s Pilot" her middle name is revealed to be Anne, however, Eric dislikes the middle name and instead calls her "Leia Tatooine Forman" (another homage to Star Wars). Donna gets annoyed by Eric middle naming their daughter Tatooine and still reminds him of Leia's true middle name, so it was apparently she that gave her the middle name.
