Trivia[]

  • This is the last episode to feature Tanya Roberts as a series regular.
  • Eric breaks up with Donna
  • The end of the episode starts a mini running gag where Eric and Donna are on and off again throughout the remainder of the series. They’re not together in season 4, are together in seasons 5, 6, and 7, split up early in season 8, then get back together in the series finale.
  • Eric's Candyland stash from the previous episode is shown again.
  • When Eric and Kelso, after being called Erica and Michelle, try to call Hyde a female equivalent of his name but can't think of one, he tells them it's "Heidi." Somehow nobody thought of the female equivalent of his first name Steven, which would be Stephanie.
