Ep 26. Everybody Loves Casey

Eric realizes he is running out of time to finalize his art project for college, and panic starts to grip him. With only a day left to complete it, he turns to his friends for help, hoping their creativity and resourcefulness will save him from failing the course. Meanwhile, Donna gets a surprise visit from her old high school friend, Casey, who happens to be in town. Casey's charming personality and good looks quickly win over the entire gang, including Hyde, who couldn't help but flirt with her. While the others are smitten by Casey, Donna starts to feel a tinge of jealousy. She wonders if Casey's intentions are genuine or if she is just using her charm to manipulate the group.

As the gang spends more time with Casey, their infatuation for her grows stronger. Fez is particularly enamored and goes to great lengths to impress her, even attempting to pull off his best James Bond impression. Kelso, on the other hand, sees Casey as an opportunity to make Jackie jealous and tries to show off his affection for her while pretending not to care. However, his plan backfires when Jackie seems completely uninterested. Meanwhile, Red and Kitty are suspicious of Casey's sudden appearance and worry that she might be taking advantage of their daughter's kindness.

As Eric struggles with his art project, he becomes more desperate for inspiration. Casey, being an adventurous and eccentric person, suggests they take a road trip to find the perfect subject for his project. Eric hesitates at first, but eventually he agrees, realizing that this might be his only chance to salvage his grade. The gang hits the road in Eric's Vista Cruiser, embarking on a whimsical adventure to capture the essence of the 1970s.

Throughout the trip, the gang encounters various obstacles and hilarious mishaps, all the while bonding with Casey. Hyde finds himself drawn to her rebellious nature, and they share a deep conversation about their shared experiences of feeling like outsiders. Fez's attempts to impress Casey become increasingly outrageous, leading to disastrous consequences. Meanwhile, Donna tries to navigate her conflicting emotions, torn between her loyalty to her friend and her growing attraction to Casey.

Back in Point Place, Red and Kitty dig deeper into Casey's background, determined to uncover her true intentions. Their investigation leads them to a shocking discovery, leaving them torn between protecting their daughter and allowing her to learn valuable life lessons. As Eric and the gang return from their road trip, they are confronted by Red and Kitty, who reveal their findings and express their concerns about Casey.

Tensions rise as the group realizes that the charming Casey might not be as genuine as she appears. As secrets are uncovered and relationships tested, Eric is faced with a difficult decision. Will he allow his pursuit of a good grade to cloud his judgment, or will he put his friendship with Donna above all else?
