Complete story — includes the ending

Eric's 17th birthday is approaching, and he tries to prevent his mother, Kitty, from throwing him a surprise birthday party to no avail. Meanwhile, Eric's older sister, Laurie, returns home from college for a visit, and Kelso tries, unsuccessfully, to attract her attention even though he is in a relationship with Jackie. Also, Eric tells Red that he wants a cassette tape player for the Vista Cruiser as his birthday present, only for Red to gift him an 8-track tape player instead. Donna is also stressing over what she should get Eric for his birthday, mostly because she is unsure of the state of her relationship with Eric after she kissed him. Desperate for help, Donna reveals to Jackie that she kissed Eric, and Jackie helps her choose a meaningful gift for him - a candle.
