After the relationship drama that colored much of the spinoff’s first year,That ‘90’s Showpart 2looks to end almost without incident. Leila and Jay are in a good place, as far as their relationship goes, and familiar pairings like Nate and Nikki are still in play.
With Red and Kitty at the airport, Leia feels assured enough to throw a house party. That’s ended when guest stars Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith — as Butch and Sonny, respectively, with Sonny as the son ofThat ’70s Showcharacter Leo—accidentally drive their car through Red and Kitty’s house. This puts a major damper on things, not just for a horrified Leia. It also calls into question whether Red and Kitty will get to enjoy a vacation anytime soon.
