Later that day, Daria and Jane are in a shop, checking hair dye products. Daria is reluctant to assist Jane, despite Jane's insistence. Jane hints that Daria may have an ulterior motive, but Daria insists it's only because she believes she's going to mess it up. Back at the Lane's, Daria prepares the hair dye and starts painting Jane's hair in stripes, and Jane hints that Daria might be jealous of her and Tom and harboring feelings for him. Daria flatly denies this is the case.

==Trivia==
The title of this episode is sometimes written as "Dye! Dye! My Darling!" with the extra exclamation mark. This hearkens back to the likely source of the title, the British movie [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanatic_%281965_film%29 ''Fanatic''], whose U.S. title was ''Die! Die! My Darling!''

Like the episode, the film features a conflict between two women.


It is possible the name could have been inspired by the song "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die,_Die_My_Darling Die, Die, My Darling]" by punk band The Misfits (who also took the song title from the movie above). Metallica had recently released a cover of this song on their 1998 album, ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garage_Inc. Garage Inc.]''
