When the school paper prints Eric's election as most eligible player of the Vikings team, he imagines being a love-machine like Kelso and tells Donna it's time they start dating other people, while only gullible dog Emily actually dates him. Fearing ridicule by association, Jackie sets up a date for reluctant Donna with Michael's elder ex-con brother Casey, just out of military service, a political mismatch but a hit at first sight, who reminds Eric 'Foreplay' he's still a measly nobody and lost Donna. Fez can think of nothing but fat Rhonda's promise to 'share something' with him, so he gets Leo's permission to use the Photohut and Kitty's advice 'for a friend' about 'doing it', but Rhonda feels because she loves him best... A silly invention made Bob filthy rich again, and Red crazy with jealousy when Bob decides to buy the Corvette money-tight vet Red dreams about, so ...

As Valentine's day approaches, Fez has bought a big box of candy for his Rhonda, but can his horny body wait for her without eating the sweets? Jackie, who now learns the value of money, tells Michael Kelso to earn some for a neat gift; Eric suggests a clinic in Madison pays for 'manly donations', a job he excels at naturally... Donna has the hots for Michael's 'cool' big brother Casey Kelso and actually gets a date, but his Trans Am car is hotter in his eyes. Eric and his delighted ma Kitty are stunned when Red tells his son he loves him, but only because...

Eric can't get over Donna, so he confronts Casey, who just plans to use her and move on.

Jackie finds a way to make up with Michael Kelso who dumped her: he may kiss another girl; Jackie reserves choosing her 'rival'; when she finally leaves the choice to him, his is surprisingly romantic, and yet... Eric is delighted to catch Donna drunk as a skunk in bright daylight because of Casey; Bob is a walkover who lets her get away with everything, regardless of Joanne, but when it gets too gross Red steps in, and Casey seizes the opportunity to dump her, publicly. Just now she comes crawling back, Eric's pointless pride makes him refuse to be her 'second choice'; before he comes to his dumb ass senses (even Kitty uses the term) she decides to emigrate to California, where her ma lives. Afraid that Jackie might enforce her 'way out', marriage because she says so, Michael decides to drive Donna all the way; the long road proves tormentingly fishy, as Hyde had first dragged Fez along stealing dead fish and then decided to hide it in one of Kelso's van's wheel caps

As their marriage looms, Donna stuns Eric by leasing a trailer and announcing she's ditching college in order to become a full-time DJ. Hyde drags Eric out to a strip joint, so Kitty decides to take the girls to a similar establishment with male strippers - which they discover is MC'd by Casey Kelso. As the evening drags on, Donna starts to worry whether she's made the right decision - just as Eric fears he's holding her back, and that it will end destroying their relationship.

Michael and Fez move into their apartment, but can't agree who gets the room next to the bathroom. Red visits and gives them a taste of how rudely guests can behave, repaying the kids' own irresponsible behavior in his basement. Eric wants to become a teacher but learns he failed physical education and can only get his diploma by taking summer classes in gym. The person in charge of Eric receiving the diploma is Michael Kelso's rather sleazy brother, Casey (with whom Eric has not gotten along, as both men were interested in Donna, who is now Eric's girlfriend). Casey, now a gym teacher, requires Eric to do a single successful pull-up to attain his diploma. Eric finally prevails. Kitty, there to support Eric, finds herself in lust over the fit and macho Casey, despite his treatment of her son.
