Murder, She Snored

"Murder, She Snored" was the fourth episode of the fourth season of the Daria TV series (episode number 404). It first aired on MTV on March 17, 2000. This episode was written by Peggy Nicoll.

Summary
After Mr. DeMartino accuses Kevin of helping the entire football team cheat on a test and threatens to fail the entire class, Daria has a dream where Kevin's body is found in her locker. This episode contains multiple lighthearted parodies of detective shows and movies.

Trivia
The Daria Database, written two years earlier by Peggy Nicoll - the same writer as "Murder" and, from season 4, the story editor - mentions DeMartino was placed in a psychiatric hospital after choking Kevin. The end of this episode has Kevin being choked, the first of a few tie-ins to Database in this season (Kevin's parents in "Mart of Darkness" first appeared there).

"Murder, She Snored" and Fanfic
Because this episode consisted almost entirely of a dream in Daria's mind, it is not often referenced in fanfiction.
