Gifted: Difference between revisions

[[Jodie Landon|Jodie]] and [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] are invited to visit [[Grove Hills]], an elite school for academically gifted students. Daria isn't impressed, but goes along with it when [[Helen]] bribes her. Quinn is informed that she'll be staying behind for the weekend; visions of staying home alone (and partying) are shattered when Helen works out a deal with [[Sandi Griffin|Sandi]]'s mother, [[Linda Griffin|Linda]], to allow Quinn to stay with them while they're gone.

While Daria and her parents give Jodie a ride to Grove Hills (her parents will meet them there and drive her home), Quinn slowly and methodically wears out her welcome with all three Fashion Club members: Sandi, when her younger brothers fawn all over Quinn; [[Tiffany Blum-Deckler|Tiffany]], when Quinn blows up at her for constantly asking if she's "too fat"; and [[Stacy Rowe|Stacy]], where Quinn actually runs off after getting creeped out by Stacy's way-too-needy overtures of friendship. (The final straw is when Stacy dresses up like her...) She ends up at the Lane house and pleads with [[Jane Lane|Jane]] to let her stay the night. Jane lets her stay when she realizes that Quinn is terrified to be home alone, but almost immediately regrets it when her shallow and self-centered attitude starts driving her crazy.

* In the opening scene, Daria is shown reading an anthology of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories entitled [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tell-Tale_Heart |''The Telltale Heart and Other Stories'']], which Brittany mistakes for a romance novel.

* In the final scene, Daria and Jodie compare reading material: Daria is reading Joseph Conrad's [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_Darkness |''Heart of Darkness'']] while Jodie is reading Dale Carnegie's [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Win_Friends_and_Influence_People |''How to Win Friends and Influence People.'']]
