After Jackie is fired from the cheerleading squad, she convinces the guys to accompany her at the high school Christmas dance to make her look cool. It works too well; the high school girls suddenly view Eric as a sophisticated grown up, now that he's graduated. Donna, stuck at the radio station, overhears the gossip from a caller and storms off to put a stop to the fun. Kelso sneaks off from the dance to be with Brooke at the library. After a few words, she kind of starts to like having him around. Meanwhile, Kitty gets grumpy Red a job as a department store Santa.

It's Kelso's first day as a police cadet and he gets to drive around in a police cruiser with a real cop. His first stop is the Forman house to break up a domestic disturbance (Fez and Laurie are fighting over her sex life). The encounter leaves Fez burning mad, but he gets a chance for revenge when Kelso leaves the cruiser unattended. Meanwhile, Eric attempts to fix the water pipes and lawn mower in order to prove to Red that he's not a failure. And Jackie joins a Big Sister program at school.
