Summary
This episode highlighted Daria's attraction to Trent. Trent persuades Daria to help find a birthday present for Jane (it doesn't take much). "I'll pick you up tomorrow," Trent tells her. "Early. Or late. I don't know. Actually let's just leave it loose." Largely due to Trent's random thought processes, Daria ends up getting her navel pierced at Axl's Piercing Parlor, largely it seems to impress Trent.
The usual hilarity ensues.
