I still pretend they ended up together and ignore the last season. As much I love that Mila and Ashton are together in real life, but these two characters are the best
Even this early on, you can slowly see the seeds being planted, laying the groundwork for something later on, pouring just the faintest hint of a foundation to build on down the line. I find Hyde fascinating to read here. At first glance, he seems like a contradiction. But, then his whole MO and code makes perfect sense. He's been let down, devastated and abandoned by everyone who's ever been in his inner circle or gotten close to him. Hyde's had trust issues since birth this walls on top of walls put up to prevent ever letting anyone in let alone be vulnerable and real with his heart. Hence why he keeps everyone at a distance, but especially pushes anybody away that tries to break down those barriers and want to make a deep connection with him. A lifelong hard luck case like Hyde won't just give that part of himself away easily without first putting the person through the paces, an obstacle course and endurance test, to see if they're actually sincere and going to stick around for the long haul, forget thick, just thin and thinner no matter what. Because even though Hyde's the coolest guy in the room with the hardest exterior, that shows he's the most fragile with the most to lose with a boatload of insecurities and self loathing because of an unstable home life and abandonment issues. His dismissal of Jackie appears to be one thing on the surface, but really Hyde doubling down on her now that she is trying to crack his shell and expressing a desire to be more than friends. Jackie supposedly represents everything Steven rejects and despises on a deep core level, but she also represents everything Hyde probably believes that deep down he could never have, be worthy of or good enough for someone like Jackie Burkhart who symolizes beauty, status, the one percenters, the haves whereas Steven only sees himself as infinitly a have-notter. The fact she is throwing herself at him is something he doesnt buy because she is all about surfaces and base level creature comforts. He wont even allow himself the possibility or fleeting fantasy they could somehow work out and actually have something genuine and go the distance. So he immediately puts her through the obstacle course and tests rejecting her showering Jackie no encouragement or ray of light into to his dark, but not as dark as he makes out soul; the mark and behavioral pattern of somebody who has been repeatedly burned over and over again so needs reasaurances and hard proof they know what they're signing up for and getting into with him and not a flight risk. SPOILER: Hyde rolling the dice to potentially letting his guard down with ironically the most caliously shallow and emotionally vacious and vampish person in not only their sub-group, but entire Wisconsin area. So he is right to feel trepidatious about just handing over the most private intimate parts of himself to someone who is not only younger, but extremely immature, sheltered, ignorant, illitist and judgemental but also status conscious and obsessed with frivolous material possessions and the social pecking order of things. He puts up a good front at first. But, again, only because he cant even suspend disbelief for a mere moment the probability Jackie doesn't throw in the towel easily. Basically, just dont cheat on her and she mates for life no matter what. From here on out, Hyde doth protests too much about getting the hell away from her, but never really runs away or leaves where he's at ever. And somehow always manages to insert himself, supposedly begrudgingly, into Jackie's delimeas and reliably helping her out time and time agian. Again, testing the Jackie waters and getting surprising results over and over like deciding to accept the monumentous undertaking of taking on the most shallow, bitchy trust fund baby queen bee 'It' girl of the 70's and teaching her Zen. And she listens to Hyde while also in the end aligning more closer to Steven's street wise true core and curb stomping her arch nemesis as a final solution. I think that's when Steven started to have feelings for Jackie. When she kicked Laurie's ass, Hyde seemed to light up like Jackie usually does flush with romance and feelers. By the time he takes the rap for her weed bag, sabatages Kelso at every turn when she and Micheal rebound back togther to break them back up and decks a guy who calls her a b*tch like someone who protects someone he vows not to lift a finger for. Nope. Just the whole fist. Kitty had him pegged and dead to rights: Steven, you hate everything. You sound like you're trying not to like her, but I think that maybe you do. Hyde says if that were ever true to shoot him and Kitty instantly pantimimes pointing a gun with her fingers right at him and says glibly, Pow! So, Hyde respecting the elder Foremans takes Jackie on the long overdue date which crescendos into a slow long kiss that results in Jackie declaring she didn't feel anything. She seems absolute in this determination. But, the real interesting read is Hyde. His unexpected off-brand reaction is the first time the writers put something deliberate in the Jackie-Hyde will they, won't they dynamic to plant a seed for another day a what if and what could have been and might still down the line one day be. But, what is Hyde's reaction? Watch it and see. It's definitely a man who can't hide his initial true feelings and takes him a moment to recover and gather his bearings before becoming Joe Cool again and playing it off. But, he clearly felt something. Jackie says nothing on her end. But, this unspoken, yet speaks volume way Hyde plays it at first, is unmistakably the look of a man who is just got his world rocked, definitely felt something and didn't play it off convincingly at all that he was disappointed by Jackie's sudden blunt reversal of position on them as a romantic item. Hyde then does play it off, sort of, but for the first time, makes a sex joke to Jackie in relation to them, marking the first time Hyde has ever out loud made the hypothetical scenerio and possibility he and Jackie being sexual. Before this moment, Hyde would never have entertained that idea let alone say it out loud putting it out into the ether. Even Hyde's name suggest one who retreats and 'hides.' He is so sneaky and strategic, working in the shadows, playing four dimensional chess, twenty moves ahead of everybody. But, Jackie is Bobby Fisher too, like all women. They both ended up on that couch together check mating each other, but it was no accident. They were exactly where the other wanted to be exactly when they wanted it happen. Manifest destiny by two made to look some haphazard hook up and random occurance of circumstance rather than a mutural premeditated shared willed fate to be one.
I think it’s funny how Hyde was the one who found her the most annoying yet they ended up together 😂
Kelso's high pitched offended "OH!" never fails to make me laugh.
Hyde is much more comforting with her here than earlier times she was upset. Character development, yay!

“Bad Jackie!”
Had me dying
Out of the three, Jackie really belonged with Hyde.
This leaves a bad taste in my mouth now that she is back with Kelso in that 90s show.
We were robbed of having an actual storyline of them dating instead of just randomly hooking up during summer.
Did you watch the rest of the show, they were dating..
Jackie is such a sugar mommy
She's hot.
Let's go to Sizzler. In 2000 there was an e-coli outbreak caused by a Sizzler in Wisconsin.
this is funny and cute since they start dating in season 5
Anything for you doll….
All i hear is Meg! Love the fact they are actually married now even tho they broke up on the show.
I'm my language that rhymes🤣
