==Summary==
Line 17:
Then they realise Tad's vanished.
Meanwhile, [[Jodie]] and [[Mack]] suffer as Homecoming King and Queen, knowing they only get elected (every year) so everyone can ignore how [[Lawndale]] is almost entirely white. They almost walk before Jodie sees a young black girl in the crowd watching them with pride; "oh, what the hell," she decides, waving again. Elsewhere, Kevin is very close to one of the cheerleaders as they were elected king and queen, Brittany notices it and stops the parade making the aforementioned float crash in the process.
Tom and Daria search for Tad (and realise that Daria's lost the toilet paper), in the process saving the mascot from suffocating in his costume. It turns out the mascot was [[Timothy O'Neill|Mr. O'Neill]], who apparently "always go[es] overboard" when he "cuts loose". Eventually the teens find Tad, whose parents found him, and Daria is perked up when [[Upchuck]] pisses off two policewomen and gets a beating. As she and Tom laugh together, [[Ted DeWitt-Clinton]] takes a photo of them as he's taking shots of all "couples". Daria and Tom point out they're not a couple, which is when Jane finally finds them. As they head out to get some pizza, Daria is suddenly soaked with blue and yellow paint by two kids having a paint fight. Tom and Jane try to convince Daria to come along anyway, but she begs off. They eventually leave, but as they go, Tom steals a glance over his shoulder at a lonely and miserable Daria... and the viewer is left wondering if there might be more going on than meets the eye.

(And Jake is still waiting in vain...)
==Importance==
