[edit] Plot summary
The guys go to a bar and the bartender happens to be Hyde’s father, Bud. He ran away from his wife and Hyde as an alcoholic eight years ago when Hyde was 9 and tells him he has been in town bartending for over a year and hasn’t told him. The Forman’s found out Hyde’s father is in town and Kitty wants to hook them up so she invites him over later that night. Bud tries to tell Hyde and the Forman’s that now he’s sober and has an apartment and a job but Hyde reminds him that he’s still mad at him and leaves the room. Kitty later tries to tell him that Bud has changed and deserves a second chance so Hyde goes to the bar and yells at him, but Bud caves saying he’s sorry and offers him a beer, so Hyde accepts. Bud offers Hyde a room in his apartment and he accepts, thus moving out of the Forman’s house. Red lets him know he always has a place available for him at the house if he ever needs it while reluctantly letting him leave.
The guys get a hold of some dirty magazines and are joking about them. Donna discovers a stack of them under Eric’s bed and is repulsed because she thought she was enough. She goes to talk to the other guys and Hyde tells her that if he was dating the girls in the magazine he would be looking at naked pictures of her because that’s how guys are. Eric picks up a dirty magazine but when opening it he feels guilty and decides to take them out of the room and show Donna that they aren’t there anymore. Donna tells him she now understands why he has those magazines and she’s ok that he has them.
Fez reads in the magazines that looking a girl into the eyes and saying her name often will get her to like her so he uses it on Jackie, but she’s weirded out. He then reads that wearing tight pants and an open shirt is sexy, but Jackie tells him only slutty girls like that when she turns him down again and he mentions it was a waste.
