The seven friends were atop the water tower. The guys were focused on their painting while the girls sat at the railing with their feet dangling off the edge.
"Oh, my God. From up here, Point Place looks just like Paris." Jackie said mesmerized.
"Not sure about Paris, but it is pretty and peaceful." Liz said.
"You think that looks like Paris? God, no wonder you think Kelso could be a model." Donna pointed out the absurdity.
"Whoa! I could so be a model." Kelso countered.
"Come on, man. Shut up and just keep painting." Hyde ordered.
"It's done!" Kelso announced with a gleeful laugh.
"Gentlemen, we have finally done it. A pot leaf on the water tower!" Eric said proudly.
"This is the proudest moment of my life." Fez said emotionally.
"It doesn't look like a pot leaf." Hyde brought everyone down.
"What?" Kelso asked disbelievingly.
"Yes, it does." Liz argued.
"It looks like a hand giving the finger." Hyde stated.
"I don't see it. I just see what's supposed to be a pot leaf. Not a good pot leaf, but not a hand giving the finger." Liz said.
"It doesn't have to look perfect, Hyde. It's art." Kelso defended his work.
"Get up and make it better!" Hyde demanded.
"Fine!" Kelso begrudgingly climbed onto the ledge.
"Just... yeah, make it wider right up there. Yeah. Out further, though. Yeah. Right up there." Hyde directed.
When Kelso reached over to paint, his foot slipped, causing him to fall from the water tower. Liz screamed in surprise, alerting the others.
As he tumbled over the edge, Kelso instinctively reached out for something to hold onto so he didn't fall to the ground. He latched onto Liz, who began to fall over the railing with him. Hyde quickly caught Liz around the waist, preventing her from falling off, but he wasn't able to help Kelso.
"Oh, my God. Michael!" Jackie called out in worry.
Liz turned to Hyde in shock. "Oh, my God. Thank you!" Liz hugged Hyde tightly. She gasped in pain when Hyde returned the embrace.
"No problem. Are you okay?" Hyde asked concerned.
"Uh, yeah. I mean, I'll have a bruise where I was hanging over the railing, but otherwise I'm fine." Liz assured him, but she held onto her side in great discomfort.
"Hey, Kelso!" Hyde yelled down to him.
"Yeah?" Kelso replied weakly.
"How's it look from down there?" Hyde asked.
"Really?" Liz chided. Hyde shrugged.
"It looks like it's giving me the finger." Kelso admitted.

They all rushed to the Formans' house. Miraculously, Kelso suffered few noticeable injuries.
"You guys, this is so stupid. We should just take him to the hospital." Jackie objected.
"No, Jackie. Then my dad will find out..." Kelso cut himself off with a loud groan of pain.
"Shut up!" Hyde quieted Kelso.
"Okay, whatever we do, we need to do it quickly. Kelso seems like he's really in pain." Liz said worriedly.
"Okay, Mom's a nurse, so I'm going to go wake her up. Maybe she can fix him." Eric offered.
