Line 13: The Morgendorffer family dinner gets off to a rocky start, thanks to yet another one of [[Jake]]'s inedible concoctions and Jake's discovery of squirrel-upturned trash cans. When [[Daria]] receives a gift of a rare first-edition book from [[Tom]], [[Quinn]] shrugs it off -- after all, dating lots of boys means lots of gifts -- until [[Helen]] points out that having a steady boyfriend shows maturity and perspective. Quinn interprets this as saying that she doesn't have those qualities, so she resolves to choose a boy from school and date him exclusively. The [[Fashion Club]] is unable to understand Quinn's reasoning, since they believe in the "date many, date often" concept as well, but [[Sandi]] makes a show of supporting Quinn in her quest. (Of course, her real motivations are quite different: she reasons that once Quinn is off the market, there will be more boys for them to date.) Unfortunately, the selection process doesn't go well, seeing as how Quinn's standards are very, very rigid. Pressured by Sandi, Quinn finally does an eeny-meeny-miny-mo with the [[Three ~~J's~~Js]] and selects [[Jamie White]] as her steady. It doesn't go well -- Quinn's idea of "communication" is to prattle on constantly over the phone, and when she accuses Jamie of not listening to her (because he slipped away to go to the bathroom), she dumps him. Her next victim is [[Joey]], whom she promptly dumps when he refuses to take her to a sold-out concert (which she heard about from her Fashion Club comrades). She finally settles on [[Jeffy]], whom she invites over to dinner when Helen convinces Daria to ask Tom over for a get-to-know-him meal... something that Daria's been avoiding because she's afraid of how Jake will act (and how Tom will react in turn to Jake).
