==Summary==
In History class, [[Anthony DeMartino]] returns some tests. Whereas some students had the expected grades ([[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] A, [[Mack]] B, [[Brittany Taylor|Brittany]] and [[Jane Lane|Jane]] C) the football team, and especially [[Kevin Thompson|Kevin]], have achieved surprising good scores. Not fooled, DeMartino confronts the QB and, after the latter is unable to answer simple questions, accuses them of cheating and threatens to fail the whole class if nobody comes forward to confess. In between classes, Mack and Brittany try to convince Kevin to admit having copied, but the latter refuses. Jane and Daria watch and comment on the situation, and Daria makes a joke regarding killing Kevin.
That evening, at Schloss Morgendorffer, [[Jake Morgendorffer|Jake]] rants about his clients and considers changing career before interacting with Daria, though he hardly pays attention to her daughter’s answers. Alone in her room, Daria falls asleep watching TV… and starts to dream…
''Daria’s dream:''
''In Lawndale, Daria Morgendorffer rides her bicycle to school. Once there, she and Jane comment the cheating on the History test before finding Kevin’s dead body hidden in Daria’s double-size locker. Students and teachers gather around and wonder on the murder before Li interrupts and accuses Daria. She interrogates her in her office with the help of DeMartino, [[Timothy O’Neill|O'Neill]] and a lying detector. The teachers play bad cop/good cop, pressuring Daria, but the student is unfazed and only provides sarcastic answers, poking fun at the teacher’s unrewarding careers and lack of prospects before walking out.''
''That afternoon Daria relays the news to her parents, but again both Helen and Jake pay her little attention. At [[Casa Lane]], Daria confides her fears to Jane before the latter shows her [[Trent Lane|Trent’s]] apparent dead body. Jake, now a private detective, arrives that moment, just as Trent wakes up. Desperate for help, Daria hires The [[Fashion Club]] - aka Charlie’s Angels. The angels immediately go check the crime scene, though they get nowhere and [[Three Js|the
''The whole school attends Kevin’s funeral: the 3 J’s make a last check on the deceased; O’Neill breaks down crying on the podium; Daria and Jane question Brittany but get no useful answers; Mack is stumped when he tries to give an honest eulogy. Pressured later by Daria, he eventually reveals some anger at Kevin. [[Janet Barch|Barch]] makes a gleeful speech about the QB’s death just before Jodie concludes the ceremony.''
''Sometime later Daria rides through New York back to LWH. She examines her locker and finds a pink revolver just as Ms. Li appears with police officers Jake and Helen. Daria begs for a few minutes to solve the murder and has Jane assemble the suspects. When the relevant students and teachers are gathered, Daria tricks the culprits into revealing themselves by pretending the killer would have his/her hands dirty. Found out, the various (!) murderers confess: Jane, irritated that Kevin’s cheating would cost her a good grade, had poisoned his lunch sandwich; then Mack and Brittany, angry at the QB, had hit him with a golf club and shoot him with an arrow; Barch had kicked the unconscious young man; and DeMartino had mistaken the mortally wounded Kevin lying on the corridor as resting, and strangled him and hid the body in Daria’s locker.''
