==Summary==
{{Spoiler}}
''For further context, see [[Tomgate]].''
 
The action begins with [[Jake Morgendorffer|Jake]] accidentally setting the house on fire when trying to warm up some milk, forcing the family to temporarily move to a hotel. In the course of this episode, [[Sandi Griffin]] becomes jealous (and suspicious) of the attention heaped upon [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn]] by a [[Bobby Stuart|bellboy]], while Jake and [[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen]] start to enjoy a blissful, relaxed relationship with a strong sex (offscreen) life. [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] is obviously having none of us and decides to temporarily move in with [[Jane Lane|Jane]].
 
Line 20 ⟶ 22:
[[Image:Daria_Morgendorffer_(from_Fire!).jpg|left|thumb|Daria mulls over her feelings about Tom.]]
 
This all leads to the Morgendorffers leavingheading back to the hotel and Helen and Jake getting stressed and, once again, bickering viciously, and also reprimanding Daria for leaving the hotel without talking to them first. Daria stares into the distance, depressed and confused...
 
This is one of the few episodes that actually leads somewhere, setting up the romantic triangle between Daria, Tom, and Jane in "[[Dye! Dye! My Darling]]." Every other conflict and issue in the story is resolved except for the growing attraction between Daria and Tom, and Jane's recognition of the same, all of which was first seen in "[[I Loathe a Parade]]" and expanded upon here; Jane's growing issues with Tom had been turning up in other episodes as well, such as "[[Mart of Darkness]]" and "[[Psycho Therapy]]".
Line 36 ⟶ 38:
 
Le Grande Hotel is a client of Jake's, which is how the Morgendorffers get to stay there and not the crappier Dutchman Inn.
 
Daria refers to her Lawndale home as her childhood home, despite the Morgendorffers moving from Highland to Lawndale at the start of the show.
 
This is not the first time that [[Jake Morgendorffer]] has set the stove on fire. He did so previously in "[[Write Where It Hurts]]."
Line 49 ⟶ 53:
=="Fire!" and Fanfic==
The events in "Fire!" are rarely mentioned in fanfic except in passing, despite the fact that it directly leads into "[[Dye! Dye! My Darling]]." However, certain elements of the episode, such as [[Penny Lane]]'s room and its contents, have indirectly contributed to a few stories (e.g., "[[Smoking Mirror]]," by [[TAG]]).
 
===Alternate-Universe Versions of “Fire!”===
[[MMan]] is possibly the only writer to have completed a fanfic in which "Fire!" is used in an [[alternate universe]]. "[[Without a Shower]]" is a wicked little [[AU]] tale making use of a plot device seen in the TV show ''Dallas'', throwing open an entirely different [[Daria Fandom Lexicon|Dariaverse]] rich with possibilities.
