Zenmasters Week 2017: Day 1 - Why are they your OTP.

Hyde and Jackie not only brought the best of each other, they inspired the other to do and be better for themselves and destroyed clichés like opposite attracts by showing how similar they were where it really mattered and how this only made them stronger as a couple.

Zenmasters Week 2017: Day 3 – Favorite Arc/Episode(s) 

Honestly, I love all their arcs and episodes where they inspire each other to grow and change, are loving and affectionate toward each other, and are protective of each other. But for the purposes of Zenmasters Week, I chose “Cat Fight Club” (2x25).

Jackie and Hyde truly connect in this episode. Hyde doesn’t like how Kelso and Laurie treat her, and he teaches her how to protect herself emotionally from that kind of hostility. By doing so, however, he also teaches her how to read him. Knowledge is power, and he makes himself vulnerable to her so that she can be less vulnerable to other people.

He’s also protective of her to Eric, defending her presence in the basement (in his Hydian way). Jackie appreciates his solidarity and rewards him with Monopoly money.

He gives her a nickname in this episode, too, and -- as he says himself -- takes her under his wing. He spends over a half-hour trying to teach her how to say, “Whatever” as aloofly as possible. That’s dedication. She also trusts him enough to tolerate saying, “Whatever,” repeatedly that long.

His growing fondness of her is all-pervasive during “Catfight Club”. The scriptwriter and/or director seemed not to miss any subtextual opportunity. He invites her to her first circle, which signifies her full acceptance into the group. During the climax of the episode, she sits in Hyde’s chair while he sits on the couch. They’re both reading comic books when Laurie verbally assaults Jackie again.

Hyde smiles approvingly and proudly as Jackie demonstrates what she’s learned during their lessons. And when she finally loses her cool and kicks Laurie’s ass, he’s impressed rather than disappointed and gives her a final lesson: “Where Zen ends, ass-kicking begins.”

Jackie and Hyde both show a lot of dimension to their characters in this episode. Their interactions with each other tend to do that, bring out different aspects of their personalities, which makes them such a fascinating pair.

Zenmasters Week 2017: Day 3 -- Favorite Arc/Episode(s)

Steven, how can you say that? Okay, fine. You know what? Maybe I do have feelings for Michael, but what am I supposed to do? He was my first boyfriend! And you know what? You're gonna have to learn to deal with it, and if you can't and you're gonna have to break up with me because of that, then I can't stop you. But I think It's a real waste because I love you!

Zenmasters Week 2017: Day 7 -- Alternate Season 8 QUEENS OF NOISE, original version.  ❥ After realizing the kind of bad friend she had been to Jackie, Donna and her little friend start trying to win each other’s good side by carrying each other’s broken hearts over Hyde’s betrayal and Eric’s absense when a trip to New York with Donna’s older sister, Valerie, offers them what they want the most: to run away from Point Place and the shadow of the men they love.

Hyde looked down, walking towards Donna who was about to enter the van. “When are you coming back?”

“In a little more than a week, if I don’t kidnap a plane to Africa.” She answered once inside. “Come on, Jackie.”

Jackie said her last goodbye to Fez, passing Hyde as quick as she could but his hand reached her wrist and he saw Donna’s shoulders tensed at the sight, Jackie looked up with her big eyes wide open. “Jackie—“

“What, Hyde?” That was wrong. 

“I…” He started, then Sam took his arm, hugging her chest to it with a sweet smile and Jackie finally went free from him, entering the van and closing the door. Dick initiated the motor. “Have a good trip.”

She didn’t look at him this time.
