Saved by the Bell | Zack and Kelly Break Up

[@chrisjenkins203]

If you were a young teen when this ep aired you understand how tragic of a moment this was in saved by the bell history. It felt like Kelly was breaking up with all of us, not just Zack :(

[@dragon22214]

And when your an adult you see jeff for the predator he is

[@rollingdudes8859]

But in the end Zach and Kelly got married so it is no longer tragic!!!

You got that right, man.

[@chrisjenkins203]

@@ShockResistor Fr I was actually confused and concerned with how the show could/would go on. When she broke up with him, it felt like this was going to be the end of the show. It’s crazy, how much impact this breakup had on so many of us, at the time.

As we now know, Zack and Kelly’s story was only just beginning. It would take time-5 seasons of this show, 1 season of College Years and a Hawaiian adventure-to culminate in one amazing finale in Las Vegas to give these two an Endgame we all had hoped for but wondered if it would happen.
