I haven’t had time to watch TV since school started, and only caught two episodes since school let out for exams.

From the bits I’ve seen and read from summaries online, I gather that:

Eric decided to stay in Point Place to help his family out since his father can’t work anymore (?)

Jackie wanted to get back together with Kelso, but he got another girl pregnant and is now trying to “take care of her”.

Jackie and Hyde got back together. How did this happen, exactly? There are some gaps there for me.

Laurie and Fez got divorced (?)

Anything else I need to catch up on? Is Eric in a local college, or just decided to get a full time job? Are Donna and Eric still going to live together or have they forgotten about that for now?

Fill me in!

Donna is in local college, Eric pretty much just lounges around the house.

Jackie never wanted to get back together with Kelso. She always wanted Hyde but after waiting for awhile to tell him that, he told her to go to hell. By the next episode they had gotten over that and got back together.

Kelso apparently got Shannon Elizabeth (!) who plays a librarian (!!) pregnant over the summer.

I think those are the major plot points so far.

Also, Eric and Kelso are working as waiters in a skeevy hotel restaurant.

Is anyone else still not buying the whole Jackie/Hyde thing? What the hell is up with that?

I like the parts in the hotel restaurant, that’s like the only interesting parts of the show!
