 Hyde and Jackie's relationship was a very typical 'opposites attract' set up. They came together during the summer when they found themselves bored with just watching The Price Is Right over and over again. However, it is shown that Hyde cares about her in season 3, in the episode after Kelso and Jackie break up and in "Jackie bags Hyde".
Early on, the relationship was threatened when Jackie screamed "Get off my boyfriend!" when she saw Annette (guest star Jessica Simpson) kissing Kelso on the couch at the funeral for Kitty's father. To say that Hyde was angry would be an understatement, and he decided to break up with Jackie, but she refused to let him. Jackie made it clear that she wanted to be with Hyde but she would probably always have leftover feelings for Kelso on the basis that he was her first boyfriend; Hyde would just have to deal with it and accept it. Hyde eventually forgave Jackie for the slip up, but he remained paranoid for the remainder of the fifth season that the unfinished business between Jackie and Kelso, combined with Kelso's very vocal objections to their relationship, would ultimately come back to bite him in the ass. When he thought he saw Jackie and Kelso going at it on the couch, he got mad and cheated on Jackie with a hot nurse, only to find out later that he hadn't seen what he thought he saw. He immediately confessed to Jackie what he'd done, and she broke up with him, even though he said it would never happen again, which was exactly what Kelso used to say. After going through a bitter period of clashing with both Kelso and Jackie, and even unsuccessfully trying to move on, Kelso eventually backed off and tried to get Hyde and Jackie back together, which is eventually what happened. Although they were happy together for a while, the relationship was ultimately destroyed by Jackie's innate need to always be in control and, in particular, her need to know that the relationship would head to a wedding, which secretly bothered Hyde just as much as it had Kelso, if not more so, as Hyde was the product of a broken home. - credit |
