We assume that 6-22 through 6-24 remain as they are, and that takes us to 6-25, where we make a basic continuity correction in the only partial script of Season 6 for this rewrite!

(That "partial" status is owed entirely to my self-imposed rule to only focus on J/H material and its ripple effects; the way Eric and Donna's wedding is handled is one of the worst things about Season 6 IMO. But, I digress. Next time on Zen 3 to 5+, we're on to Season 7...)


INT. PINCIOTTI KITCHEN - DAY

As KELSO and FEZ remain around MIDGE, JACKIE enters from the backyard. She crosses to HYDE and DONNA and tugs on Hyde's sleeve.

JACKIE:

Steven, here you are. Why are you –

(sees Midge)

Mrs. Pinciotti! Hey, what a surprise! Huh. I guess there's a few things in my jewelry box at the hotel that I need to bring back now.

MIDGE:

Ooh, Jackie, you're staying at a hotel? Are you on vacation? Where are you going? Are you at Disneyland?

JACKIE:

No, Mrs. Pinciotti. After you left, my mom ran off and my dad went to prison, so I was staying here until my mom came back.

MIDGE:

Ooh, is she at Disneyland too?

Jackie is spared having to respond to that by BOB and PAM entering from the hall. Bob freezes when he sees Midge.

BOB:

Midge, what are you doing here?

MIDGE:

I came to see Donna.

DONNA:

(to Bob)

Dad, I invited her to stay with us.

BOB:

Oh. Uh...

He shifts on his feet as both Pam and Midge glare at him.

MIDGE:

(looks Pam over)

Who's the amazon?

BOB:

Oh, this is my, uh... friend.

PAM:

"Friend"? I don't think so.

Jackie and Donna lean into Midge.

JACKIE:

That's my mom.

DONNA:

And she's staying here.

MIDGE:

Oh, really?

She and Pam both take a step toward Bob, whose eyes dart back and forth between them.

BOB:

Well, I guess my only question is... who am I sleeping with?

He chuckles nervously. No one else joins in.


INT. PINCIOTTI KITCHEN – DAY

Morning. Midge, Bob, and Pam, all in robes, sit around the kitchen table for a breakfast of eggs and waffles. Bob does his best to look cheerful, even as the women glower.

BOB:

(to Midge)

So we all decided that the best thing was for Jackie to have some space and for Pammy here to work on herself, which she's been doing by staying with us. And that's the whole story, Midgie.

MIDGE:

(glaring at Pam)

Uh-huh. And is "Pammy" done with the maple syrup?

When Pam doesn't say anything, Bob reaches for the syrup.

PAM:

Bob, are you planning to give "Midgie" that syrup?

MIDGE:

(sarcastic)

Oh, wow, I can see she's really done a lot of work on herself, Bob.

PAM:

As if part of that isn't learning to appreciate the things a man and a woman share every morning, the things that stands for everything they are together!

MIDGE:

Well, in that case, it's no wonder Bob and I are divorced, because the way he eats waffles, it's a miracle you even have any syrup left!

Donna enters.

DONNA:

How's it going?

MIDGE:

Your father's an ass.

PAM:

Well, something we agree on.

BOB:

(to Donna)

It's not going that well.
