Antisocial Climbers

"Antisocial Climbers" was the second episode of the fourth season of the Daria TV series (episode number 402). It first aired on MTV on March 3rd, 2000. This episode was written by Jill Cargerman.

Summary
Mr. O'Neill's class field trip to the woods goes awry when a blizzard strikes. Helen and Jake attempt to resurrect the romance in their relationship.

Trivia
DeMartino had a friend who married his mother, a source of great anger. We don't know the specifics, as Daria and Jane fled upon hearing this.

Many background characters appear in hiking and winter gear, one of the few times the characters are all wearing alternate clothes. (The exception is Burnout Girl)

Despite the episode's light tone, it is quite likely some or more of the characters could have died as a result.
