Later, Kelso begins to spend less time with Jackie as a result of his joining a modeling agency and she is caught kissing her boss by Eric . This event spurs a period of discovery for Jackie and Kelso . After reading Cosmopolitan, Kelso realizes that the reason he cheated on Jackie with Laurie was because Jackie has always bossed him around and made him feel bad about himself . Following this revelation, he breaks up with her (true to form, the breakup doesn't stick and they reunite one episode later). </P> <P> In the season four finale, Jackie and Kelso both agree that they don't want to stay broken up . So, Jackie has Kelso choose to kiss any girl at The Hub to make things even between them and they can move on and be together again .

Without warning, she brings up marriage to Kelso and decides that they're getting married . Kelso, feeling overwhelmed, flees to California . When he returns in the beginning of season five, he (along with the others) is horrified to learn that she has begun dating Hyde . Jackie continues to date Hyde for most of the season, but when Kelso introduces Annette to the gang, Jackie finds herself clearly jealous and tells Donna that Michael is still supposed to pine over her . Later in the episode, she claims to not be jealous anymore, but the moment she sees Annette kissing Kelso, she screams, "Get off my boyfriend!" For the rest of the season, Kelso is clearly not over Jackie and doesn't realize that he's indirectly trying to win her back . Towards the end of season five, as Jackie comforts Kelso, he states that no one understands him like she does . In the finale, Kelso and Hyde make Jackie choose between the two of them and she chooses herself . By the beginning of season six, Kelso claims that he is happy and genuinely enjoying their new friendship . He spends the rest of the season trying to move on with his life, joins the police academy and impregnates a girl named Brooke and spends the rest of season 6 and 7 taking care of the baby . </P>
