#oh donna

[francesthinks]

one thing to note since I keep seeing people talk about that scene were charles shares that he had a dream that involved dante and a fat guy in a plaid shirt

henry mentions that when he came to after murdering the farmer, the farmer was wearing a yellow plaid shirt

and since we know that henry haunts the dreams of richard in the epilogue I guess we can assume the farmer elected to yell at charles in his dreams for murdering him lol

S03E14: Oh Donna

Alex wants to become a father! At 18 years old still in college! And it’s the cutest episode of this show I’ve ever seen.

I’m not even kidding. Just seeing Alex of all people discovering the joys of fatherhood was a joy to watch. And how his family reacted to the news was hilarious.

Just episodes like this make me think Michael J. Fox must be a really sweet guy. I know he didn’t write it, but just his acting out the scenes with such fervor for this episode was adorable. He really seems like a cool guy.

But, more about the episode. You don’t usually see episodes about boys being excited to take on fatherhood on TV. Especially college freshmen. This is seriously such a gem of a show and I’m so happy I stumbled on it by accident.

So, once again, I have to say: Go Alex!

Chapter eleven: Oh Donna.

 The mask slid across the ground and flowing red hair fell out of the hood. The killer pushed the bat in to fez again and then pulled it away letting his body slide to the floor.  Eric’s heart clenched, he recognized that hair from anywhere. It was Donna’s… in that moment his heart shattered, his girlfriend was the killer and she just killed fez right in front of him… this couldn’t be real, it couldn’t… but the pain in his heart said otherwise. It was all very real. 

Donna turned around and brushed the hair out of her face. “Fez just had to ruin my big reveal” she rolled her eyes and looked back at the limp body. “Either way, now you know.” She walked over to her boyfriend and leaned down, “you never suspected a thing” She smiled and stood up and swung the bat, a spray of blood sprinkled Eric’s face. He winced and blinked a few times. “I… Donna I don’t understand…”

“Don’t understand?” she tilted her head. “Oh, right. You thought I was innocent” she smirked. “It just, felt so good, y’know?”

Eric shook his head. “I don’t. But why Laurie? Or buddy? Or Kelso” Eric gulped, not sure if he wanted to hear the answer.

“When Tina disappeared my heart was shattered” she looked at Eric. “I was left as the only child in my house, but every time I saw you… I saw Laurie, you still had your sister, your life was good and yeah you felt sympathy but you didn’t know how it truly felt.”  

“Donna it was horrible a-and we were all there for you-“

“Let me finish, Forman” she snapped at him. “over the years of watching you live your life, watching you forget that I ever even had a sister, which by the way I never forgot, it got to me, and I realized that you needed to feel the same pain that I had to truly understand me.” She laughed a little. “So I devised a plan, I got a mask and I waited for the right moment”

“You killed Laurie because you were jealous?” Eric gulped and shook his head. “What about the others, what did they do wrong?”

Laurie tapped her chin. “Well, you saw how Kelso cheated on Jackie with Laurie, she deserved better, and a cheater like him deserved what he got.” she looked in to his eyes. “And he was dating your stupid sister-“

“Don’t call her that!” Eric yelled and Donna walked over, grabbing him by the neck. “Shut up, Eric.” She pushed him against the wall and squeezed, he squirmed as she choked him, pressing harder and harder, then letting go, he took a gulp of air and closed his eyes for a moment.

“And for buddy” she shrugged. “He was getting in the way of us, I could see it, how he was still pinning after you, waiting for his moment to make another move.”

“That… that doesn’t mean I liked him back-“ he coughed. “I would have turned him down”

“Doesn’t matter, he was still a threat to our relationship.” She pinched between her eyes and shook her head. “I really wanted to see him go up in flames, too bad the bomb went off while I was in my room, what I sight it would have been” she leaned on the bat and looked up in thought, then back down at Eric. “The bastard somehow survived though and now you visit him in the hospital more than you visited him when he was intact” she sighed.

“So, what now, you’ve cornered yourself…”

“Quite the contrary” she giggled. “see, when the cops get here, which eventually they will, they’ll find you dead, along with Hyde, and it’s all the doing of good ol fez over there, he’s a foreigner, no one’s gonna second guess that he killed his friends, but in that final show down you got a good swing at him, killing him and then passing away yourself.” She turned and walked over to fez’s body, looking at it.

“You really did a good job saving the day Eric” she turned around and raised the bat. “I really did love you, but I see now that things just won’t work out.” She walked over to Eric, and raised the bat.

“Just like this knot didn’t work out?” Eric pushed and the on ropes and the  fell to the floor he sprung up and tackled Donna. “I’ve been working on it while you were monologuing” he grunted and Donna punched him, knocking him to the ground. She got up. “You really wanna do this again Forman?” she swung the bat and Eric rolled over then got up. “You killed my friends… you broke my heart, of course I wanna do this again” he swung at Donna and she stepped out of the way, then hit Eric’s shoulder.

“You’re gonna lose and my plan will play out even better” she swung again and Eric dodged it. He was holding his shoulder in pain and could feel that the wound in his stomach was bleeding. “I just have to hold you off l-long enough until the cops get here… like you said, e-eventually they will come”

Eric was about to pass out and Donna took this as her chance.  “Right, because you’re gonna stay standing for that long” she hit him and knocked him to the ground then raised the bat to stab him. “And before I kill you, I’ve got one more surprise-“

All Eric could hear was ringing and Donnas blood hit his face, mixing with Fez’s, he blinked a few times and looked up as blood leaked from a hole in Donnas chest, she dropped the bat and stiffened then fell over. Eric scrambled to his feet and looked around, his eyes stopping at the doorway where his dad stood, holding a hunting rifle.

Red pulled the bolt and pushed another bullet in to the chamber than ran over to his son, hugging him.

“Dad… I-I’m fine… we gotta untie Hyde” they both turned to look at the unconscious Hyde still tied up. Red nodded and made his way over to Hyde, pulling his pocket knife out him started sawing at the rope.

Eric looked down at the rifle and reached down for it. Movement caught the corner of his eye and he turned to see Donna standing up and raising the bat towards Red, “Dad!” he quickly turned and pulled the trigger. The bullet went through her forehead and she fell backwards in to the pool of her own blood.

Red turned around and watched Donna fall, his eyes quickly moved to his son who was holding the rifle. Red let go of the ropes and grabbed the rifle from Eric, who willingly let go and stood still, staring at the body on the ground. “We… we gotta call the police” Eric mumbled and his dad nodded. “I already did, before I left”

Eric gulped. “How’d you know I was here?”

“Fez called me” Red looked over at Fez. Not but half an hour ago he had heard the exchange students voice over the phone.

 “Mr. Red. Eric is in danger.” Red heard the voice over the phone. “Tell me what’s going on” Red spoke in to the phone and listened. “He and Hyde are looking for Donna and the killer is leaving them notes, he’s leading them right in to a trap I just know it” Fez spoke.

“Thank you, stay where you are I’ll handle this” Red hung up and went up to his room, he grabbed the rifle from his closet and made sure it was loaded.

“Red? What are you doing?” Kitty asked from where she was sitting on the bed and Red turned, a little startled. “The boys are in danger” he threw the sling around his shoulder.

Kitty’s eyes went wide and she stood up. “Did you call the cops?” she was worried.

“Not yet, I’m going to when I find the kids” Red walked down the stairs and out to the Toyota, he turned around and gave Kitty a long soft kiss then got in and sped off.

 Red shook his head as he stared at the body of Fez, why didn’t he listen to him and just stay home. “Come on Eric; let’s get you away from this place” Red led Eric outside where he sat him on the hood of the Vista Cruiser. “Stay right here, I’m gonna go get Hyde.”

Just as Red finished his sentence four cop cars and three ambulances came pulling up, the officers sprung from their seats, guns in hand. Red held his hand up. “It’s over… taken care of” the men looked at Red and Eric, nodding but proceeding inside anyway to be sure. Paramedics followed the officers.

Later one body bag was rolling out, it was Donnas… she was actually dead, he killed her and saved his dad. Next two gurneys were being rolled out, Hyde on one and Fez on the other, he wasn’t in a body bag. “Wait” Eric stood up and ran over to the gurney that held Fez. “He’s alive?” the paramedics nodded. “Just barely, any longer and he wouldn’t make it” Eric nodded and watched as they wheeled his friend in to the ambulance. Fez was alive and Hyde didn’t seem all that injured. Everything was gonna be fine, as fine as it could be with everything they had gone through.

Eric walked over to where Hyde was sitting down, finally back awake. “Hey” Eric sat down on the back of the ambulance and Hyde looked over at him. “Hey” he held an ice pack against his head. “It’s over man” Hyde said.

“Yeah… I just can’t believe it was Donna, this whole time, right under our noses.” Eric held his now wrapped up stomach, the medical gauze was much better than his torn button up.

“I’m sorry it was her, I know you cared about her” Hyde laid a hand on Eric’s shoulder.

“Yeah, but she killed our friends, and tried to kill us, I don’t know if I could continue dating someone like that” he laughed, it was short though and stopped abruptly as a twinge of pain shot through his stomach. “Ow…” he groaned and leaned back. “I’m not good to drive, think you could get the Cruiser home?” Eric turned his head to Hyde, who nodded in agreement.

Eric reached in his pocket and handed Hyde the keys. Hyde stuffed them in to his pocket and watched as Eric got up to go talk witch his dad. Cops and paramedics were everywhere and soon even a news team was pulling in and setting up, Eric ignored them and made sure his back was to the cameras the entire time. He didn’t wanna be on T.V he didn’t wanna be known, especially not for killing his girlfriend.

 The gravel parking lot was full of police cruisers, ambulances and news vans so when Jackie pulled up she had to park on the side of the road, she wasn’t sure what was going on but it was big and she hoped none of her friends were hurt, but when she came around the corner and saw only a beat up Hyde and wrapped up Eric she felt her heart drop. “Guys?” she ran over and Eric turned from where he was talking with his dad and came back over to his friends.

“What happened? Are you okay?” She looked the two boys up and down.

“Yeah, we’re fine” Hyde rubbed his head and looked over at Eric.

“The killer is dead… Fez is headed to the hospital, it’s over” Eric held his torso and spoke carefully not to cause any pain.

“Holy shit you guys actually got the killer?” Jackie sounded excited and neither of the two boys wanted to turn the good news to bad news.

“Well, Forman did. I was passed out” Hyde tapped Eric on the shoulder.

“So what happened? How’d you do it?” she asked waiting to hear how Eric had taken down the masked killer.

“Jackie-“ Eric tried to stop her but she wouldn’t hush.

“What? How’d you do it?” Jackie started to realize something wasn’t quite right.

“Jackie, Donna was the killer.” Eric gulped and Jackie’s smile fell.

“That’s… that’s, Eric I am so sorry” she hugged Eric and held him for several long seconds before pulling away and hugging Hyde. “Why’d she do it?” Jackie asked then closed her mouth and looked away. “Sorry, I should wait to ask these things”

Eric shook his head, “It’s fine, I had the same questions… she was jealous, that I had Laurie, and she didn’t like the way… the way Kelso was treating you” he sighed. “I understand where she was coming from but… killing wasn’t the solution.”  

Jackie and Hyde nodded. “All those innocent lives taken because of jealousy” Jackie shook her head and leaned against Hyde. Soon two paramedics walked up and asked Eric if he was ready to go, he still needed to go to the hospital for stitches and any other wounds he had gained from being hit and stabbed with a broken baseball bat.

Hyde and the paramedics helped him in to the ambulance and Jackie offered to go with him but he declined. “Stay with Hyde, I’ll be fine, my dad is gonna meet me at the hospital” he smiled and waved then sat down as the doors shut and the ambulance drove off.

Hyde and Jackie leaned against the hood of the Vista Cruiser. “So… Donna did all this and Eric had the will power to end it?”Jackie asked and Hyde nodded.

“I guess so, you’d have to ask Red, I was passed out, when I came to I was out here and Donna was… dead” Hyde choked on his words and Jackie pulled him against her, this entire night had been rough on everyone.  “I’ll ask Red later… just try not to think about it Steven” she rubbed his arm and he nodded.

They had all lost a friend and the guys had been through not only the mental pain but physical too. “Is Fez…”

Hyde shook his head. “no- No, Fez is gonna be okay, I’m not quite sure she wanted to kill him honestly, either way the only  fatality tonight was Donna, and everything is gonna work out fine”

Jackie nodded. “Yeah… we’ll recover, and we’re gonna have to give Eric some kind of gift, right? For saving the day”

Hyde shrugged. “I suppose so, not too sure how he would feel about a celebration for killing the love of his life, but we’ll just have to see how he recovers.”

The two agreed to wait, at least until things were fairly normal again, as normal as they could after losing so many people that they cared about.  

 When Eric got to the hospital he went by fez’s room, he was unconscious and hooked up to a hundred different things he knew nothing about. It saddened him seeing fez like that but it gave him hope that fez was even here and not in the morgue.

Soon they had stitched him up and cleaned up his bruises and cuts, he was gonna be perfectly fine aside from the scar on his stomach.

As he lay in bed he heard a knock. “Come in” he called and the door slowly opened, to reveal Buddy Morgan, on crutches. He limped in and let the door shut behind him. “I heard you were in here, thought I’d check on you.” He hobbled over to a chair, where his leather jacket hung. “Is this my jacket?” he looked back at Eric.

Eric rubbed the back of his neck. “Uh yeah, when... your car um…”

“Exploded?” Buddy laughed. “It’s okay to talk about it man”

“Right” Eric nodded awkwardly. “That, anyway I didn’t want them taking it in for evidence, and if you didn’t make it I wanted something to honor you” it sounded stupid when he said it out loud but it was too late to take it back. “You can have it back now that I know you’re not dead”

“No no, keep it, I bet you look stunning in it” Buddy sat down to get off his crutches and sighed. “They’re finally letting me walk around, not far and not without a nurse usually, but it’s better than nothing”

Eric nodded. “Yeah, I gotta stay in here for a bit, even then I gotta be careful, Donna took a good chunk out of me with that bat.” Eric felt his heart sink at saying her name.

“Wait, Donna did this? What happened?” Buddy sat up.

“Turns out she was the killer all along, she’s… gone now, I uh… I took care of it” Eric nodded towards his friend.

“I’m so sorry. I never… I never would have guessed” buddy looked down at his feet.

“No one could’ve known, everything’s gonna get better now, she’s dead, and we can all move on” Eric sighed. “You know, one thing that baffles me is how she pulled off killing Laurie, I was with her at the time of Laurie’s death. I was with her the entire time between when the cops said she was murdered”

“You think she had an accomplice?” buddy inquired.

“I don’t… think so, Donna admitted to her crimes, unless she was lying.” Eric sat up a little, a grunt escaping his lips. “Then again there’s not much to trust about her anymore” the thought that Donna had an accomplice that could still be out there worried Eric, but he didn’t even know if he fully believed it. It was all just a theory anyway. “The killings are done with, we’re all gonna go back to normal life and that’s all that matters.”

Buddy smiled. “Yeah, totally.” He stood up and limped over to Eric, patting him on the shoulder. “You saved the day, you’re the hero” he removed his hand and made his way to the door. “I gotta get back to my room, maybe check on fez on the way back” buddy waved and left the hospital room, leaving Eric alone, not for long though, soon Jackie, Hyde and his parents were pouring through the door to check on him.
