Line 20:
[[Jane Lane|Jane]], in these final school days, [[Dye, Dye My Darling|after her breakup with]] [[Tom Sloane]] and the related events, is giving Daria the cold shoulder. After much insistence from the latter, Jane eventually reveals she will spend the summer in [[Ashfield]], an art colony outside Lawndale, though she refuses to talk about Tom, showing to still be hurt by [[The Kiss|their betrayal]].
 
In the sophomore class, when the PSAT results arrive and [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn’s]] score is lower than she had expected, she decides to hire a tutor for the summer. Quinn tries to keep this a secret, but Sandi is only too happy to spill the beans to the other students. However, the enthusiastic reaction from the [[The threeThree J’sJs]] prompts the rest of the [[Fashion Club]] (who had had even lower PSAT results than Quinn) to hire a tutor too.
 
Daria begins tentatively to date Tom, but things start badly due to Daria’s inexperience and feelings of guilt on the way Tom and Jane had broken up. She has trouble admitting in public they are dating and that Jane and Tom are no longer a couple. Things are not helped by the Sloane’s fortune and higher social standing, which drives an edge on both their and their families’ relations. An incidental meeting with Kay, Angier and Elsie in their club goes awkwardly, as also goes the polite refusal of the Morgendorffers to attend a very expensive charity event.
Line 30:
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.
 
Meanwhile, at Lawndale, Quinn’s attempts to study with her tutor, [[David SorensenSorenson]], have a bad start. During their initial study session, as Quinn pays more attention to trivial interruptions than to the teacher, David is ready to quit, berating Quinn for lack of trying, lack of knowledge and superficial interests and concluding she does not belong in college. This shocks Quinn into explaining her desire to improve her PSAT scores and begging David to stay, promising to do better. David’s interactions with the rest of the Fashion club are not as good: he tries to tutor Sandi, only to walk out when she dismisses his teachings and serious attitude; Tiffany prefers to spend tutoring time applying make-up, barely paying attention when he leaves; and Stacy is the only to make an effort, but her lack of self-confidence combined with feeling left out when Sandi and Tiffany don’t told her they had quit eventually make her quit tutoring too.
 
Summer goes on and OK to Cry Corral initially keeps on with the same boring and ineffectual activities. O’Neill attempts to bound and counsel Link, only for the youngster to call O’Neill on his inability to help and put in evidence what is wrong with the camp. Later, however, as all councilors and children are doing another pointless indoor bounding activity, DeMartino has a psychotic break, tears down the window and leads the children on an outdoor hike. Daria takes the opportunity, plus the fact they had gone in a secret walk before, to try to approach Link, who starts to open up. However, the moment is ruined by O’Neill.
