This season, Kelso finds himself in a love triangle with Jackie and Eric’s sister Laurie; Donna begins to transform from the wholesome girl-next-door to a rebellious teen in response to her parents marital problems; and Eric has to put up with Hyde… the newest member of the Forman household. Meanwhile, Red and Kitty have to deal with the pressure of Red’s unemployment and their annoying neighbors Midge and Bob as they experiment with in-marriage dating.
