This episode opens with a computer being stolen from "alt.lawndale.com," the student coffee house. Much of the episode concerns the characters attempting to raise money to open an alternative venue, an "old-school," Greenwich Village-style coffee house with acts and performers and poets and the like. (This was a "suggestion" [[Timothy O'Neill]] gathered from [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] despite the fact that Daria hadn't intended to make any such suggestion.) Daria is also forced to perform at the coffee house after her fundraising efforts are called into question (specifically a non-sale to a [[Mrs. Johansen]], although [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn's]] sales techniques used on a boy named [[Danny]] could be considered far more questionable). In typical subversive fashion, she reads a story about a Cold War-era spy named [[Melody Powers]], and starts a riot that causes the coffee house to be closed down.

Throughout [[Kara Wild]]'s [[Driven Wild Universe]] series, Cafe Lawndale undergoes several changes. In "[[The Tie That Chokes]]," it returns to being a student coffee house, with the added presence of armed security. In "[[Erin the Head]]," Cafe Lawndale has closed altogether and has been turned into a new "happening" venue called the Metreonopolis. Finally, in "[[Into the Fire]]," we learn that the Metreonopolis was shut down and turned into the more tasteful, sedate Café Brunoli, which caters to older clientèle. In each case, with the exception of the last one, disaster befell the café, just as it did in "Cafe Disaffecto."
