The episode's title refers to Jackie Burkhart's relentless mission to "bag" (win over) Stephen Hyde. Fed up with his constant rejection, Jackie brings a "hot" date named Chip to the Formans' annual Veteran’s Day barbecue to make Hyde jealous.

: Despite being set in November in Wisconsin, characters are noticeably dressed for warm weather at an outdoor party.

The plan takes a turn when Hyde overhears Chip insulting Jackie's intelligence behind her back. Despite his claims of hating everything and everyone, Hyde's protective side flares up, and he punches Chip to defend Jackie's honor. This leads the two to the iconic "water tower" spot (The Point), where they share their very first kiss.
