Daria S1:E2

Esteemsters

Daria and Quinn arrive at their new school. Quinn makes friends easily. Our Daria does not. We meet Daria's teachers, her family, and her new best friend, Jane.

College Bored

Helen and Jake decide that Daria and Quinn may not be prepared for college. They enroll the two in a college prep course.

Cafe Disaffecto

Daria reluctantly becomes involved in the opening of Lawndale's new student coffeehouse. She also becomes involved in its closing.

Malled

Daria's economics class takes a field trip to a new enormous mall. Daria is sickened by the teeming masses. She discovers Quinn playing hooky at the mall. Daria is no longer sick.

This Year's Model

Lawndale High has a couple of visitors, claiming to be modeling scouts looking for the next Christy Turlington. Quinn and Brittany have high hopes. Daria and Jane are revolted by their presence.

The Lab Brat

Daria and Kevin are forced to work as lab-partners in science class. The homework consists of teaching a mouse tricks. Daria does all the work, of course, while Kevin watches football on TV and flirts with Quinn.

Pinch Sitter

Quinn gets Daria to babysit for her. Daria, who has no interest in being an authority figure since she doesn't respect authority, is stuck with two well-behaved "PC" kids.

Too Cute

Quinn decides she needs cosmetic surgery, and drags Daria to the doctor with her. She is happy to consult with Quinn, but very interested in Daria, whom she views as a long term project and potential masterpiece.

The Big House

The annual teachers-versus-deejays roller hockey game is coming, and there's a good chance the students will get to see Mr. DeMartino die of an aneurysm during the game—but Daria's going to miss it because she's been grounded by her parents.

Road Worrier

Daria and Jane hitch a ride to the "Alternapalooza" festival with Jane's brother Trent (Daria's heartthrob!) and his friend Jesse. Their van doesn't work so well, but it's an interesting trip.

The Teachings of Don Jake

Jake's stress level is reaching critical mass, so the Morgendorffers go on a camping trip. Like that's gonna help.

The Misery Chick

Lawndale High is abuzz with homecoming preparations. The quarterback who led the team to a state championship three years ago is returning! Then he has a tragic accident, which ironically leads to sudden popularity for our Daria.
