Fire!: Difference between revisions

'''"Fire!"''' was the twelfth episode of the fourth season of the television series ''Daria''. The title is often written without the exclamation mark.

The action begins with [[Jake Morgendorffer|Jake]] accidentally setting the house on fire, 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 bellboy, [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] temporarily moves in with [[Jane Lane|Jane]] (thus exacerbating the emerging conflict between them about [[Tom Sloane]]'s and Daria's increasingly obvious connection), Quinn temporarily winds up in the care of the police, and Jake and [[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen]] have a lot of sex (offstage, thank God) to get around the fact that they have no other meaningful communication with each other. The final scene, with Daria staring out of the family car's side window as she mulls over her feelings about Tom, is potent and evocative.
