Episode #713 “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking?"

Red enters the basement and announces to the gang that he’s going ice fishing. Kitty adds that she’d like to join him. Red argues that he would prefer if Kitty didn’t go. Kitty however, insists on tagging along. Hoping to preoccupy her time since her split with Hyde, Jackie insists on tagging along with Donna by attending Donna’s karate class. Kelso calls The White House to prove to the guys that there is indeed a Russian Death Ray. After moments of being on hold, Kelso indirectly threatens the President’s life and the guys worry that the Feds are going to come after them. Kitty and Red ice fish and Red is noticeably frustrated by Kitty’s presence, but Red slowly starts to thaw as they both become wistfully amorous. Back at the house, the guys are worried about an unmarked car that pulls up in front of the house. Paranoid that it could be the Feds, the guys decide they need to smoke all the “evidence” immediately. Meanwhile, Jackie and Donna attend Donna’s karate lesson. Jackie protests the practicality of karate, since everyone that she knows loves her and consequently, she has no reason to feel threatened. The guys at the house are getting worried that the FBI is on to them. A salesman delivers a Hand-Vac to Kitty, but the guys are convinced that it’s the government’s attempt to bug the house. They destroy the vacuum and resolve to try to smoke the rest of the evidence. Kitty and Red are enjoying their alone time in the ice fishing cabin, until Red finally gets a bite. Jackie continues to take the position at the karate class that the self-defense stuff doesn’t apply to her. Donna argues, hypothetically what if it was someone that already hurt her, like Hyde? Jackie explodes and knocks the karate instructor out, claiming that all “men are bastards!” Meanwhile, there is a suspicious van parked out front, and the guys go to investigate. However, it turns out just to be a legitimate dog catcher van. On their car ride home, Red apologizes to Kitty for throwing her to the floor to catch the first Perch he caught this year and Kitty eventually forgives him.
