Line 26:
Too add to this situation, Helen forces Daria to volunteer as a counselor in [[Timothy O'Neill|Timothy O’Neill’s]] [[Okay To Cry Corral]] summer camp. Along with O’Neill and Daria is [[Anthony DeMartino]], who has joined the camp in the hope of rediscovering his joys of teaching. Daria is assigned several children, including a depressed and angry boy named [[Link]]. Due to O’Neill’s over-protective nature, the camp is everything but fun, with teachers and counselors alike spending all day indoors indulging in boring tasks, despite the kids repeated pleas to play outside.
Summer also goes on for the other Lawndale High students: Kevin and Brittany, as lifeguards in the pool, spend more time enjoying each
Arriving at the art camp, Jane is very turned-off by [[Daniel Dotson]], the self-aggrandizing main teacher. She befriends [[Alison]], an older female artist who is nice and shares Jane’s low opinion of Dotson. The two start to bond, especially when the other students dismiss Jane for her youth and strong opinions. However, it turns out this good relation was just a plot for Allison to try sleep with her, leaving Jane hurt and confused.
Line 44:
On the other hand, Daria’s summer hits rock bottom when, after trying to avoid Tom, she provokes a fight with him. Daria starts by justifying her dating uneasiness on their different social levels and defending Jane when Tom unintentionally makes a disparaging comment about her, but he is able to put her on the spot by pointedly stating she’s the one afraid to get hurt by the relationship. When Daria doesn’t reply, he breaks up with her and drives off. Between this event, Link’s rejection and her sister’s request for advice about David, for whom she is starting to fall for, Daria desperately phones Jane and begs to go visit her. Jane first refuses, but then relents and indicates [[Trent Lane|Trent’s]] upcoming gig at bar nearby.
Daria takes a ride to the art camp in the [[
The next day, Daria explains the reasons for her breakup as she prepares to leave with Trent. Jane listens and then advises her friend to give Tom another chance, stating that, this time, she is really over Daria and Tom’s betrayal and that they could make a good couple.
Line 55:
This scene is watched by Helen from the living room window, who happily reminisces about the changes undergone by both her daughters during the summer. Jake’s answer is first apparently clueless... before he smiles, indicating he’s making a joke (something he had not been capable off during the whole summer). He then proceeds to (off-camera) chase his wife around the house for some old couple’s fun.

Line 67 ⟶ 65:
Daria and Quinn are both stated (by Helen and Daria respectively) to hide their real selves behind masks for fear of what would happen if their real selves were shown. While this concept had been raised in both "[[Quinn the Brain]]" (Quinn) and "[[Psycho Therapy]]" (both, with Daria casually admitting to it), this is the first time it was made explicit that ''both'' of them are using the same tactic.
The question DeMartino poses to Quinn at the end of the episode "What is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest_destiny Manifest Destiny]?" is the same question he asked of Daria on their first day at Lawndale in "[[Esteemsters]]".
Alison is the sole character to be confirmed as non-heterosexual in ''Daria'''s entire run, and unfortunately follows the "predatory lesbian/bisexual" stereotype.
