==Summary==
While [[Jake]] and [[Helen]] have dinner with a prospective client (
After an all-night lecture, Daria is able to convince Helen that nothing happened between her and Tom, but Quinn overhears part of their conversation, misunderstands, and immediately phones [[Stacy]] with the news. That evening, Daria and Tom start getting strange looks at the pizza place; the mystery deepens when they receive congratulations from [[Upchuck]], [[Kevin]] and [[Brittany]]. At home, Jake is both paranoid about the possibility of having gotten a parasite from the raw fish, and too confused and upset to look Daria in the eye. Daria then gives Jane a call to try to figure out what's going on, and after engaging in some good-natured ribbing, Jane realizes that Daria really doesn't know what's happening. Apparently, a rumor is going around school that Daria and Tom slept together, and, as rumors tend to do, it keeps getting wilder (Daria wearing black high heels, Jake walking in on them "doing the deed," and so on). She knows exactly who to confront: Quinn, who avoids talking to Daria because she doesn't want to know any of the sordid details. Daria tries to convince people that the rumor is false, to no avail, so Daria starts a little rumor of her own regarding Quinn and "Malaysian toenail fungus".
Line 21:
Back at home, Daria reassures Helen once again that she and Tom are not having sex, Jake drops Toby and his parasite-ridden restaurant as a client, and Quinn is baffled by the sudden stream of foot-related medical product brochures she's receiving in the mail.
==Place in canon==
One of the major plot points of the fifth season is the relationship between Daria and Tom. We see their relationship build in episodes such as "[[Sappy Anniversary]]" and "[[The Story of D]]", however the episode "My Night at Daria's" is the culmination of the character-building between Daria and Tom throughout the season; to the point where they are on the verge of being sexually active yet are unable to follow through with the commitment. However Daria's unwillingness to have sex is not indicative of a fracture in their relationship, as Tom assures Daria that it does not bother him. After this episode, things would fall off between the two rather quickly. Tom only has three brief speaking appearences in "[[Boxing Daria]]", and by "[[Is It College Yet?]]", their relationship declines rapidly and becomes irreconcilable (despite Daria and Tom ending on positive terms).
