==Summary==
In History class, [[Anthony DeMartino]] returns some tests
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…
Line 32:
Later that morning, at school, Daria retells her dream to a bewildered Jane. Later, during history class, DeMartino announces he will not fail the students, but make them take another test instead. He is interrupted by Kevin, who pretends to be dying. Enraged at the sight of the student, DeMartino starts strangling the quarterback as Daria and Jane watch and comment…
==Animation errors==
Brittany asks Kevin "what's that A doing on your paper?", but everyone has just the exact marks scored and not the lettered grades.

''[[The Daria Database]]'', written two years earlier by Peggy Nicoll - the same writer as "Murder" and, from season 4, the story editor - mentions DeMartino was placed in [[Brookside Rest Home]] psychiatric hospital after assaulting Kevin. The end of this episode has Kevin being choked, the first of a few tie-ins to ''Database'' in this season (Kevin's parents in "[[Mart of Darkness]]" first appeared there).▼
This episode contains multiple lighthearted parodies of detective shows and movies. Since Daria's dreaming all the references and parodies, she's presumably a fan of one or more of the shows referenced.
Line 88:
While tongue in cheek, this gives us some indication of DeMartino's [[Daria and Politics|political views]]. (And apparently DeMartino is ignoring that a large amount of the Marshall Plan funds were spent on importing US goods.)
==Trivia==
▲''[[The Daria Database]]'', written two years earlier by Peggy Nicoll - the same writer as "Murder" and, from season 4, the story editor - mentions DeMartino was placed in [[Brookside Rest Home]] psychiatric hospital after assaulting Kevin. The end of this episode has Kevin being choked, the first of a few tie-ins to ''Database'' in this season (Kevin's parents in "[[Mart of Darkness]]" first appeared there).
DeMartino's lesson at the start was about "Corruption and Scandal in American History", with the chalkboard mentioning "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_M._Tweed Tweed]", "Iran-Contra", and the "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teapot_Dome_scandal Teapot Dome]" (which he quizzes Kevin on).
Mack looks resigned to the test and then his cheering teammates, implying visually that he knew about the cheating but didn't participate - and may be regretting it.
Kevin is on academic probation - his blather reveals that, as before, [[Coach Gibson|the coach]] is likely to fix the grades, but "[[Mart of Darkness]]" reveals this hasn't worked out, as Li is forced to have someone talk to [[Doug Thompson|Kevin's dad]] about the bad grades. (Brittany is worried about her grades being too low to stay on the cheerleading team, so nobody cares about them.)
In what's implied as a common scene, Jake is furiously ranting about his dislike of clients and his job, and Helen is on the phone ignoring him - Jake hasn't noticed.
