Lane Miserables: Difference between revisions

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 negligentnegligently so, and this was confirmed on screen. While Jane calls it "benign", it darkened the character's backstories. Trent's mournful memories of being in a tent for six months "waiting for someone to invite me back in" (which [[Amanda Lane|his mother]] remembers as an example of things sorting themselves out and where a young Jane was the one feeding him) shows this upbringing has left some marks.
