Psycho Therapy

"Psycho Therapy" was the eighth episode of the fourth season of the Daria TV series (episode number 408). It first aired on MTV on June 28th, 2000. This episode was written by Neena Beber.

Summary
The Morgendorffer family is forced to attend Quiet Ivy, a "mental health spa," as part of a bizarre procedure to promote Helen to partner at her law firm. At the "spa," the various internal conflicts of the family come to the fore.

In the meanwhile, Jane experiments with life on webcam, including a moment that proves embarrassing to Tom Sloane.

Replacement music
On Daria: The Complete Animated Series, replacement tracks by Extreme Music were used, including:


 * Slow Death (for a cut to Helen at work)

Triva
Daria shows a casual awareness of her tendency to erect an unpleasant 'mask' to try and keep people away.

Daria also says Helen is both resentful about having to work so hard and guilty that she enjoys working hard (the latter shown to be true in "Daria!"); Jake feels guilty that he's not as driven as his wife but hides behind "a smokescreen of cluelessness" as he's sure it's wrong to feel that way; and Quinn sticks to shallowness as she's scared she doesn't have any depth (also shown to be true in "Monster" and subsequently in "Is It Fall Yet?").

Helen actually states she thinks something's gone "wrong" with Quinn.
