Season 2: Episode 20 "Kiss of Death"

Coming back from the movies with Donna and Eric, they say goodnight to each other and Donna's cat, Mr. Bonkers. Red comes out and I can feel that he is not happy with something that Eric did. Sure enough, Red tells Eric to move the car from the driveway into the garage. Eric moves the car but hits something so he steps out and looks. What he finds is Mr. Bonkers who has been squashed underneath the car wheel.


The next day Eric is outside his garage sweeping up the mess from last night. When Donna comes out of no where I can see the fear in his eyes and face when she asks if he has seen Mr. Bonkers. Eric plays dumb but the whole time I'm just watching hoping that he will come clean about the accident but he doesn't. This makes me think if this friend group likes lying to each other until it blows up in their face. Why won't they just come forward with the truth?

Sitting around the dinner table with Eric, Laurie (Eric's sister), Red, Kitty, and Hyde brings a group discussion on how to tell Donna about Mr. Bonkers. Red says to just tell her but he thinks the whole thing is hilarious so he is no help. Laurie is just picking on him for killing her cat and Hyde is not contributing because he typically likes to see these things play out themselves. So the only real help is Eric's mom, Kitty. She tells him to tell Donna what really happened since it is the right thing to do.

Later on that night, Eric goes over to Donna's house and surprises her with a kitten and also tells her he killed Mr. Bonkers. Donna doesn't respond well because she realizes that Eric knew when she was looking for him so she storms out and Eric heads back home where he finds Hyde and Fez in the basement.

In the basement, Jackie barges in telling the group that Kelso has been cheating on her. All the guys know about it but lie to her so they don't get on her bad side. She leaves frustrated but Fez decides that since Jackie is single he is going to go after her. That is until he has to be hospitalized.

With Fez in the hospital, Eric, Hyde, Kelso and I sit around him before he gets his appendix removed. Fez is high on pain pills, Kelso is upset that Jackie broke up with him, and Eric is still confused that Donna is mad at him for trying to do the right thing when he killed her cat. But he killed her cat, so she should have the right to be upset.

However, Jackie shines some light on Donna's situation saying the Eric put off telling her something because he didn't want to hurt her. Jackie is right. Eric was trying to do the nice thing. Then Jackie says that is much worse than him cheating on her with another woman.

Finally, the next day Red and Eric head over to Donna's to formally apologize for the loss of their cat. Eric tells Donna that he is sorry about not telling her sooner and Donna responds that she understands what he was trying to do but they need to be more honest with each other. All is forgiven between the two and the come clean with a few funny things they have done. A special moment between the two that reinforces their relationship. But on the other hand, Kelso and Jackie have a terrible fallout in front of Hyde, Donna, Eric, and I. Kelso tries to get her back but Jackie finally says no. Normally, I feel bad for Kelso, even though he is not all there, but this time I believe Jackie did the right thing by putting her foot down so she won't be walked over by Kelso. Yeah, she can be a huge nag at some points but hopefully, the end of this relationship will bring a new Jackie.
