Episode #621 "5:15"

In the Forman basement, Mitch tells the gang that he badly needs a date to his brother’s wedding the next day. He asks Donna if she’ll be his date. Donna is taken aback, but Eric is adamant. He forbids it. When she hears that, Donna accepts, and she forbids Eric to question her about this. Mitch says he’ll even invite another couple as chaperones. Jackie knows that Steven will never go for this, so Fez will be her date. Red has finally decided to get cable TV and has had it installed. Hyde tells Red that the cable guy forgot to hook up the basement, and for an extra two bucks they could get the adult channel. In the kitchen, Kelso tells Kitty about the romantic day he’s planned for himself and Brooke complete with roller coaster and horseback riding. These activities aren’t good for pregnant women, Kitty advises. Something bad could happen to the baby. She’s teaching a baby care class at the hospital. If Kelso took Brooke, she’d be very impressed. Okay, sign us up, Kelso says. At the wedding reception, Eric is waiting tables. Donna asks what he’s doing there. Eric says he changed his schedule so he could make sure Mitch kept his hands off her. Donna assures Eric that Mitch is harmless. Fez is having fun pretending to be super rich. He gets the attention of Christy who had blown him off a few minutes earlier. Fez introduces himself as Fez Ferrari. In the Forman living room, Red comes in and flips on TV. A porn movie is on. He goes downstairs to find Hyde enjoying the same movie. Red demands to know why Hyde’s stealing his cable. He goes back upstairs, and moments later the channel changes and Hyde’s watching the weather. At the baby care class, Kelso’s clueless. He has no idea what babies eat and says that he’s going to sneak his kid some popcorn. Back at the wedding reception, Donna and Eric are stunned when Mitch grabs a microphone and introduces Donna as his new fiancée. Eric grabs the microphone. This guy’s a lying, crazy lunatic, says Eric. Mortified, Mitch runs out. At the baby care class, Brooke is trying unsuccessfully to change a diaper. She panics and leaves. That night in the basement, Mitch challenges Eric to a fight for having humiliated him. Tomorrow at the playground, five-fifteen, says Mitch. Kelso brings Brooke back to the class. She doesn’t have to worry. He used to baby-sit his little brother and can change a diaper perfectly. The next afternoon at the playground, Mitch keeps taunting Eric and calling him chicken, but it’s clear that he really doesn’t want to fight Eric. Mitch takes Eric aside and offers him a number of GI Joe-type bribes. A deal is struck when Mitch offers Eric the French version, GI Jacques. Eric announces that they’ve worked it out like gentlemen, but then he sees Mitch making chicken gestures behind his back. You’re dead, says Eric, as Mitch runs away.
