Line 35:
Back at the camp, Quinn manages to alienate her old friends by accidentally revealing that she had snuck off with Tracy's date back when they were at camp. Finally, as Skip continues to annoy everyone, Amelia snaps and makes a heartfelt speech about standing up to Skip's dictatorial ways and doing your own thing, saying that while Daria's unpleasant, antisocial, and ignorant of other's feelings, "at least she thinks for herself" and Amelia's going to start doing that too. Angry and embarrassed, Skip appeals to camp director [[Mr. Potts]], who points out the blindingly obvious: it's just a summer camp, and he shouldn't make it the sole focus of his life. (Skip bursts into tears)
 
Daria and Amelia patch things up just as Jane and Trent arrive. Having bombed out with the old couple, Trent finds some consolation in joining Jane to tease Daria about her "secret popularity," and during the drive home, Trent, after reflecting on the events of the day, finally gets his inspiration back. Jane mentions that they seem to be forgetting something, and Daria informs them that Quinn found another ride home... with Skip. Who won't stop talking to her, and on top of that, has learned absolutely nothing from Amelia's criticisms towards him.

==Trivia==
The title is a play on ''Cape Fear'', a film first made [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055824/ in 1962 starring GeogoryGregory Peck and Robert Mitchum] and then remade in [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101540/ 1991 by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro and Nick Nolte]. (There is also a [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0180590/plotsummary 1991 softlow-corebudget pornhorror film] having the very same name as the episode.)
 
A popular theory is that Amelia is meant to be a satire on ''Daria'' fans: overly idolizing her and wanting to be mates, getting disillusioned that Daria turns out to be flawed and a bit unpleasant, and annoying the hell out of Daria who can't stand being fawned over.
