Summary
The action in this episode begins with Jake's setting the family home on fire, forcing the family to temporarily move to a hotel. In the course of this episode, Sandi Griffin becomes jealous of the attention heaped upon Quinn by a bellboy, Daria temporarily moves in with Jane (thus exacerbating the emerging conflict between them about Tom Sloane's and Daria's increasingly obvious connection), Quinn temporarily winds up in the care of the police, and Jake and Helen have a lot of sex (offstage, thank God) to get around the fact that they no other meaningful communication with each other. The final scene, with Daria staring out of the family car's rear window as she mulls over her feelings about Tom, is potent and evocative.

This is one of the few episodes that actually leads somewhere, setting up the coming triangle in "Dye! Dye! My Darling."
