This is an example where the kids story is better than the adult story. I still think the overall story moves glacially slow, but at least we start to see signs of movement with this episode. We finally start to get somewhere on the Kelso-Jackie-Laurie triangle story and it's at the fun setting of a music festival. Red and Midge bond over soap operas with Red out of work. The gang travels to a music festival but Donna finds out about Kelso and Laurie before leaving. I think that's something we can all relate to on some level. The grammar school story starts slow but turns into a really interesting character study of the dynamics and pent-up frustration of the friend group. I'm not always a fan of the fantasy sequences on this show but the flashback scene is really fun and well done. We get one final appearance from Marion Ross in the flashback scenes and it's fun to see her again.

This episode gets started with a very funny bit about Fez not understanding that there is just free candy on Halloween. Kitty remembers the first Halloween in their house when she found out she was pregnant. On Halloween, the gang breaks into the old burned down grammar school they attended.
I also think the show just let the Kelso-Laurie-Jackie story sit for too long without making any plot advances for too many episodes. Donna torn between her parents doesn't really do it for me probably because I don't really care for Donna, Bob or Midge. As has been the case so far in season two, there's a strong A story but the B & C stories are lacking. There's an absolutely hilarious line from Kitty at the end of the episode as well. There's a strong guest performance from Stephen Tobolowsky and it plays well into the Eric-Laurie relationship as well as the on-going saga with Kelso. This is an episode that could feel a little icky but actually makes complete sense considering Laurie's character. Midge tries to bond with Donna as she continues to fight with Bob. The Formans find out that Laurie has been dating her much older professor. However, this episode feels a little transitional and a little unimportant as a result. We have a tease of Eric and Donna taking the next step and a tease of what's going to happen between Kelso and Jackie. This episode feels more like a set up to future episodes. It seems like it would have made this episode funnier if they were spread out a little more. Although this is funny too, I don't know if I would have put Red in this type of part for two straight episodes. We have a second straight episode with Red being a little goofy, this time because he is drunk. Kelso buys a van and ends up having sex with Laurie in it. Red has his last day working at the plant and ends up getting drunk with co-workers. Red being so goofy instead of his usual stern self is pretty hilarious. It's perhaps the funniest Kurtwood Smith has been yet. This episode is really all about the adults getting high and there's lots of comedy to be mined. The other story with Fez kissing Jackie is okay but it's not a super strong B story. It's a really funny flip on the premiere of season one. One of the funniest moments of this episode is putting the four adults in "The Circle" after they try Hyde's "special" brownies and then Red being tripped out while Eric is questioning him about selling the car. Season two of That 70s Show picks up right where season one left off with a bunch of the storylines continuing.
Hyde makes pot-laced brownies for the yard sale. The Formans have a yard sale to help make money with Red about to be out of work.
