Distraught over his breakup with Donna, Eric wishes he never even kissed Donna in the first place. A guardian angel appears to show Eric "It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all ... ya pansy."
The angel shows Eric how everyone's lives would've turned out if he and Donna never got together. When Donna and Eric failed to kiss, Donna went home to find Hyde waiting for her, and they began a relationship. Eric is relegated to huge nerd status (he's on the chess team, while his best friend Fez is in the marching band). When Eric fails to believe he'd ever be so dorky ("This is made-up angel crap"), the angel reminds Eric it was Donna who gave him confidence. Kelso and Jackie continue to hang all over each other; Eric is forced to go to prom with Big Rhonda; Donna and Hyde become a biker couple, with Donna sporting several tattoos. When Hyde loses his place to live and Eric offers to let him move in with his family, Hyde and Donna just laugh at him. Kelso dumps Jackie for the school tramp.
Flash forward to the '80s. A very pregnant Donna is getting married to Hyde; Kelso is a TV news anchor; Jackie is a flight attendant; Fez is into new wave music; Eric is still dating big Rhonda. And Kitty and Red have had another son whom they both dote on.
Flashing further forward to their 10-year high school reunion, Eric sees Donna, who looks great but is very sad. Hyde is in prison, leaving her with their three kids. Eric admits he always had a crush on her and she confesses she had one on him too. Eric asks the angel if he can help him be with Donna now, but he says he can't, but he can erase all of Eric's relationship with Donna — Eric wouldn't feel a thing toward her. But first he shows Eric all the wonderful memories he would have never had if he and Donna hadn't dated. Eric says "Wait, don't take it back!"

Eric
is so depressed over his breakup with Donna
that he can't even get out of bed. Hyde, Fez
and Kelso try to drag him out of bed to go
to Funland, but he would rather wallow in
self pity. Red makes matters worse by insisting
Donna dumped Eric, and forcing Eric to rake
leaves. Eric runs into Donna who is doing
the same thing. He says "hey" to her and she
is incensed. "Hey?" That's all you have to
say to me?" she says. She calls him a dillhole
and he calls her a double dillhole. Red tries
again to get Eric out of his funk by making
him work harder at Pricemart. When this doesn't
work, Red suddenly remembers a painful breakup
he had when he was Eric's age. He decides
to take pity on Eric and buys him a beer,
admitting to him that he does understand who
Eric must feel. He tells Eric he'll go easy
on him for the next couple of days so he can
get himself together. Meanwhile, Kelso, Jackie,
Hyde and Fez go to Funland. Kelso immediately
gets lost and heads to the lost and found
to wait for the gang to collect him.
