[edit] Plot summary
Red heads for a job interview after his last day at the plant, confident that his experience, loyalty and hard work will get him any job. At the interview, he sees everyone from the plant is vying for the job. One says that they don’t think being experienced, loyal, and hardworking will get them the job. Red doesn't get the job. He tells Kitty that the world has changed since he came back from the war when he was young, and that being experienced, loyal, and hardworking isn’t as important as it used be.
Donna walks into the basement. She was really grossed out because her parents were doing yoga and told her they would be having sex later. She tells Eric she needs to get out of town right now. Kelso suggests they all go to a new club that opened up in Chicago. Jackie tells Kelso that he can’t go - her parents aren’t going to be home that night, and they have to "study". He doesn't understand the signal, but stays with her anyway. The rest of them head to the club in Chicago.
Kelso shows up with books to Jackie’s room. She tells him they aren’t going to study. He finally figures it out, and they have sex. Two minutes later, Kelso is putting his shirt on and Jackie is reading a magazine. Kelso points to a picture of David Bowie and remarks that he’s cool. Jackie suggests that he’d look great glammed-up like him. She puts make-up on him and dresses him up like a girl and starts dancing with him. Her parents get home early, and Jackie's dad heads for Jackie’s room and starts choking Kelso while Jackie protests that she loves him.
Upon arrival at the club, Donna gets in immediately but the bouncer doesn’t let Eric (who the bouncer calls "Archie"), Hyde, and Fez in. They tell her not to wait and just go in. Eric suggests it’s just a fire code thing but the bouncer lets three more guys in. Donna comes back later, asking why they aren’t inside. They lie to her that they were inside, and that they went outside, and had to get back in line. Fez then tells the bouncer to let him in. Fez impresses the bouncer with a short bit of disco dancing, so he lets him in. Hyde tells the bouncer that so called Madison Avenue people’s days of being cool are numbered. The bouncer tells him he’s impressed with his political outrage and lets him in. Eric tries Hyde’s words but instead tells him that his girlfriend is in there. The bouncer is surprised and asks him what she sees in him and Eric can’t think of a reason. Later he asks the bouncer if he has ever been excluded from anything in his life, which the bouncer says he has using Duck, Duck, Goose as an example. Eric then tells the bouncer that he has made him the duck, so he realizes and lets Eric in.
Later that night Eric and Donna are sitting on the car after a long night of dancing. Eric asks her what she sees in him. She tells him that he’s smart, nice to her, and has a great sense of humor. Then he asks her why he’s with her. She kisses him to answer his question.
