Season 2 of the That ’70s Show sequel series — which is comprised of Parts 2 and 3 — picks up in 1996, with Leia Forman is back in Point Place for another summer of fun with her friends and grandparents, Kitty and Red. Part 2 ended with the arrival of Jason Mewes and Smith — not as Jay and Silent Bob, but as Bunch and Sonny, who accidentally drove their car through Red and Kitty’s house. Following their crash entrance, Tommy Chong’s Leo made his way into the kitchen and told Leia that Sonny was his son, and he was in town to take over the family business. Of course, all that Eric and Donna’s daughter cared about at that moment was patching up her grandparents’ wall before they returned home.

Showrunner Gregg Mettler previously revealed to TVLine that legacy cast member Laura Prepon (aka Donna) played a big hand in the next eight episodes. “She directed the entire Part 3, and she performed a lot in it,” he said. He also let slip that Green will return for additional episodes as Mitch Miller.
