Fez, Hyde and Liz sat in The Hub. It had been tense between Hyde and Liz ever since she chickened out of kissing him. Liz tried to be friendly, but Hyde was just always in a foul mood around her. She hoped hanging out with Fez would ease the awkwardness.
Fez got up to use the pay phone.
"Hello, House of Chicken? How big are your wings?" Fez asked.
"Breasts." Hyde and Liz corrected.
"Oh. How big are your breasts? This is Fez, who is this?" Fez asked.
Hyde motioned for Fez to hang up. Fez didn't understand, so Liz jumped up and hung up the phone for him.
"My first prank call." Fez said proudly. "Every night with you two is an adventure."
"Yeah, Fez, it's a real roller coaster, ain't it?" Hyde said sarcastically. Liz chuckled.
"Hyde, how come you do not have a girlfriend?" Fez asked.
"Yes, why is that, Steven?" Liz added.
"Maybe if you did something with your hair." Fez began messing with Hyde's curls.
"Hey, his hair's fine." Liz defended.
Before Hyde could respond, a girl dressed in leather came thundering into The Hub.
"Hey, you, is there a motel in this pukehole?" The girl asked with crazy eyes.
"Pukehole? Ew." Liz cringed to herself.
"There's a Sleepy Time Lodge three pukeholes over." Hyde answered.
"Thanks, I'm Chrissy." The girl introduced herself.
"I'm Hyde." He responded.
"Who cares?" Chrissy replied.
"Um, obviously you cared enough to introduce yourself..." Liz said confused.
"You wanna hop on my Vespa and, uh, show me where it is?" Chrissy offered to Hyde, making a handlebar gesture with her hands.
"A Vespa, really?" Liz said unimpressed.
"Mother of God, I think I love you." Hyde said entranced. Liz looked at him with wide eyes.
"Love is an outdated concept, used by industrialists to keep women subservient." Chrissy said pointing at Hyde.
"Or it was emphasized by women so they could finally take some control over their own lives and not just marry whoever or whenever their father told them to." Liz said exasperated.
"Mother of God, I do love you." Hyde stared at Chrissy enamored. Liz rolled her eyes.
Hyde stood up to follow Chrissy outside. Liz quickly jumped up and tried to stop him.
"Steven, what are you doing? You don't know her, and she looks actually insane." Liz warned.
"I can take care of myself, alright, Liz." Hyde said rudely. Liz was shocked by his attitude.
"Hyde, why are you being so stupid?" Liz bluntly asked him.
"Stupid? I'm probably gonna get laid. This chick obviously doesn't think she's too good for me and isn't so disgusted by the thought of kissing me that she runs away." Hyde said pointedly and walked out the door.
Liz was lost; was that about the other night? Did Hyde think she didn't want to kiss him because he 'disgusted' her or that she believed she was too good for him? Neither of those were anywhere near the truth. How could Hyde think that?

Donna, Eric and Liz sat on the couch in the basement and Fez sat beside Liz in a chair. Kitty was teaching Jackie how to bake a pie while Kelso was messing around with the Pong game. Hyde was still out with Chrissy.
