Synopsis

  • Fez is getting to know all sort of secrets about the girls, now that he is working at the salon. Eric decides to pay $20 to get his drawings judged by a panel of cartoon experts. Eric works hard at creating a caricature for submission. Eventually, Eric submits his drawings and gets a response that he has no artistic talent whatsoever.

    Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) decides it's time to extend his new respecting women rule to dumping his porn collection by giving it to the needy- that's Fez. But Fez cannot handle having to stop reading Playboys. He is found in a comatose condition in the basement, all alone. Fez ODs on the playboys and Eric counsels him to pace himself. Eric says that there is a reason why they only come once a month. After a day Fez is miserable and hands the magazines back to Kelso, but eventually can't do so.

    Kitty feels unneeded and unloved. Hyde and Eric are busy with their things. Laurie has moved to Canada. Eric suggests that Kitty can pick up a hobby to enrich her life. Kitty has taken up Tai-Chi with Donna and Midge and gets a Buddha statue to match, but that doesn't square with pet-dog Schotzi. Tai-Chi is an ancient form of meditation and exercise. Red asks Eric to install the Buddha statue properly by using some concrete, but he never completes the task.

    But now Schotzi can't stop barking whenever Kitty does Tai-Chi. Eric leans against the Buddha statue and drops it on Schhotzi, accidentally. Now Schotzi barks at the statue and Bob (who looks like the Buddha statue)

    Hyde wants to go to work for his father dressed in a rock and roll t-shirt (since his father owns a chain of record stores, and a Led Zeppelin t-shirt is the official uniform of Rock and Roll), but Jackie won't allow him to do that. She wants him to wear a suit and a tie, but he refuses. Hyde's (Danny Masterson) first day in his dad's office is a disaster. William makes Hyde wear a suit and a tie. But even wearing a suit and tie isn't as bad as the mindless paperwork.

    His job is to underline the word credit, every time it is mentioned in like a gazillion sales reports. The colleagues in the office are drab and boring people, who have no social life to speak of. There are no windows in Hyde's office, and it is very depressing. Every time he finishes a stack of papers, he gets a new stack delivered to him. The coffee is made from powdered milk.

    When he is just about done, he is told that corporate now wants the credit not underlined and the word debit underlined instead. Hyde loses it. He has a panic attack about how this day represents the rest of his life. Hyde believes that his tolerance for following directions is really low and that he cannot survive in an office. Hyde quits the next day, but William talks him into staying a week and tells him since he is the boss's son, he can delegate his work to anyone. William says that he was not around when Hyde was growing up and is determined to make it work.
