In the season 7 episode 14 of That 70's Show titled "Street Fighting Man," tensions rise as the gang prepares for their high school reunion. The episode begins with Eric and Donna planning to attend the reunion dressed as John Lennon and Yoko Ono, respectively. Meanwhile, Hyde struggles with his decision to attend the reunion since he had a troubled past in high school and fears being judged by his former classmates.
As the gang gathers at the local diner, they encounter a group of tough guys who challenge them to a street fight. Reluctant at first, the gang eventually agrees to the fight after being taunted and called out. Meanwhile, Jackie and Fez spend the evening attempting to one-up each other in a bid to win the title of "Hottest Date" at the reunion.
The day of the fight arrives, and tensions are running high. Each member of the gang has their own reason for wanting to fight, including Eric, who is looking to prove his manhood to Donna, and Kelso, who wants to prove that he is still a tough guy despite his recent weight gain.
The fight itself is a comical affair, with each member of the gang displaying a distinct fighting style. Eric is hilariously overconfident, while Kelso fumbles his way through the fight, much to the amusement of the crowd. Hyde proves to be the most skilled fighter, thanks to his experience growing up on the streets.
In the end, the gang emerges victorious, but not without consequences. Eric suffers a broken nose, while Kelso takes a serious beating. Hyde finds himself questioning his decision to fight, realizing that it was a childish and dangerous stunt. Jackie and Fez's competition ends in a tie, much to their disappointment.
The episode ends with the gang reflecting on the events of the night, with Eric apologizing for his reckless behavior and Hyde contemplating the lessons he has learned. The episode serves as a reminder that while the gang may be growing up, they still have a lot to learn about responsibility and maturity.
