Line 74: === “[[Legends of the Mall]]” === The steel teeth of [[~~Anthony DeMartino\|~~Metalmouth]] hanging on the door handle of [[Helen Morgendorffer\|Helen's]] SUV at the show's end were a problem for many viewers. Interestingly, Helen's SUV was, up until this time in the series, probably a Chevrolet Blazer, but hereafter turns into a Ford Explorer (another information conflict). Was she so upset at finding the teeth on her car that she bought a new vehicle? (For details, see [http://www.outpost-daria.com/transportation.html "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" by D. T. Dey], at [[Outpost Daria]].) This is the only unrealistic part of the episode. It could be assumed that while Helen was talking, a funny thing comes to Daria's mind: "Was it the Metalmouth?" - and this is her imaginary scene being shown. Alternatively, Metalmouth really ''does'' exist. The "Daria's writings" explanation does not work here. It's hard to imagine Daria writing that "Spirit of the Nerdy Girl" story. It's possible Daria has collected all three stories but first one was told without her presence and Daria does not chat with Quinn enough to hear it from her. So most realistic explanation is: All conversations taken place in the Canon Universe. All stories were told, including the last one where Jane is mocking about Daria, probably giving her an innuendo about "Trent is here, stop being too quiet". Helen damaged her car and tells about it. A funny thing comes to Daria's mind: "Was it the Metalmouth?" - and this her imaginary scene is shown. [[Image:angeldevil.gif\|left\|frame\|Decisions, decisions, from "Lucky Strike"]] === “[[Lucky Strike]]” === A brief moment in this fifth-season episode toed the OCC line but recovered well. When Ms. Li attempts to get Daria to teach Quinn's English class, a tiny "devil Daria" and "angel Daria" appear to tempt Our Heroine into different courses of action. As Ms. Li apparently does not see either fantasy character, they are assumed to be fragments of Daria's conscience that appear only in her imagination as she considers what course of action to take. Amusingly, the two opposing figures turn out to be perfectly in sync as to what Daria should do. Characters similar to these two figures appear in [[TAG]]'s "[[A Midsummer Nightmare's Daria]]."
