==Summary==
Inspired by their current assignment, ''The Call of the Wild'', [[Timothy O'Neill|Mr. O'Neill]] passes around a sign-up sheet for an overnight field trip to the woods. Naturally, [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] and [[Jane]] decline to participate in what they're sure will be yet another school-sponsored fiasco, but Daria changes her mind when she's convinced (aka "bribed") into going by [[Helen]], who wants the weekend alone with [[Jake]] to try and bolster their creaking marriage. Meanwhile, [[Angela Li|Principal Li]] is taking a camcorder so the video of Lawndale's Wilderness Adventure Club will get a sponsorship from [[Extreme Sportz Mania Worldwide Inc]]. (Jane will point out to Li that [[Lawndale High]] doesn;'t have a Wilderness Adventure Club - "We do ''now''.")
 
The outing is a disaster from the get-go, from [[Quinn]]'s plethora of fashion camping equipment to Mr. O'Neill's allergies to half the plantlife to Ms. Li's obsession with recording everything. Even [[Kevin]] and [[Brittany]] can't avoid mishaps, as Brittany is repeatedly stung by bees that were hiding in the bouquet of flowers Kevin picked for her. And if all that weren't enough, a blizzard (surprise!) hampers their progress. When O'Neill goes back for his spare inhaler, despite being half-dead, Ms. Li goes after him (he's got the camcorder) and [[Janet Barch|Ms. Barch]] goes catatonic about being "abandoned", leaving only [[Anthony DeMartino|Mr. DeMartino]] in charge (barely).
Line 17:
When they finally reach the mountain cabin, it is discovered that they have no supplies thanks to [[Joey]], [[Jeffy]] and [[Jamie White|Jamie]], who left them behind in order to carry Quinn's belongings... a situation that gets Quinn kicked out of the [[Fashion Club]] (temporarily). Meanwhile, elsewhere on the same mountain, Jake and Helen try to promote intimacy, as in talking rather than sex, and find themselves with barely anything to talk to each other about.
 
Mr. DeMartino orders Kevin and [[Mack]] to searchfind forthe foodlost Li and O'Neill, withwhich he goes in search of food. Daria and Jane followingaccompany him to get away from the others.other Thestudents girlsbut are abruptly left on their own when he falls off a cliff. It looks as though it might be the end, as the girls struggle through the blizzard to find their way back, when they stumble across Helen and Jake's cabin -- where DeMartino ended up, and the arrival of ''someone'' to talk to was like a gift from Heaven.
 
In the end, the Morgendorffers return home together, the lost teachers are found by Mack (right when Mr. O'Neill is foundrecording beforehis helast can diewords), and everyone returns home... except for Kevin, who accidentally got leftlost on his mission and is still behindstuck aton the cabinmountain.
