Summary

After Mr. DeMartino accuses Kevin of helping the entire football team cheat on a test and threatens to fail the entire class, Daria has a dream where Kevin's body is found in her locker. This episode contains multiple lighthearted parodies of detective shows and movies.

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).

Since Daria's dreaming all the references and parodies, she's presumably a fan of one or more of the shows referenced.

"Murder, She Snored" and Fanfic

Wouter's "What if?" series depicts Jane's confession scene with a difference, instead of posioning Kevin, Jane used Laxatives instead.
