Line 22: Amanda finally can't stand having her wayward children around the house anymore, and in desperation, she pleads with Helen to help her get her home back. Helen's plan? A family dinner, where their bickering succeeds in driving the Lane siblings off once again to parts unknown. As Jane and Trent prepare to leave, Trent (who has broken up with Monique for the umpteenth time) ~~comments to~~tells Daria that it's too bad she's not a few years older, otherwise he could take her out. Daria then daydreams about her and Trent holding hands by a fireplace, wondering what could have been. ==Importance== Line 28: This is a crucial episode for Jane and Trent: we finally see their immediate family, which had been just mentioned in episodes or in the books. "[[The Daria Diaries]]" and "[[The Daria Database]]" had already made it clear that Jane & Trent's parents were often absent and negligently so, and this was confirmed on screen.

In subsequent episodes such as "[[Speedtrapped]]", Daria detests some of Trent's lyrics in his songwriting book, stating "God, I hope this is a first draft"." By the time of the season 3 finale "[[Jane's Addition]]", it becomes obvious that Daria's crush on Trent has passed. In a [http://www.slate.com/id/2254116/pagenum/2 review] of the series, Reihan Salam of ''Slate'' called this "one of the best episodes". He also points to it as an example of how Jane "clearly needs" the bond she's developed with Daria: running away to the Morgendorffers show "Daria has become Jane's surrogate family".
