To both their suprisessurprises, Quinn's cuteness means she transforms being smart into a fad. Soon, Quinn is being asked by Mr O'Neill to tutor [[Kevin]], gets to leave English class early, and finds everyone gushing over her half-assed poems. She even starts to think about becoming a writer because "it's not like it's real work". Daria goes from annoyed that both classmates and teachers assume Quinn to be smart when she's still being dumb, to despairing when O'Neill asks Quinn to tutor ''her'' in English.
 
In an unguarded moment, a shaken Daria tries to talk with her father about it - admitting that she doesn't ''like'' the "brain" identity she's saddled with, but if it's 'stolen' then she's "got nothing". Unfortunately, Jake's response devolves into a panicked rant about his own failed life, ending with a plea to Daria that "You're still a young man! You don't have to live with your mistakes! ''Get out while you can!''" She retreats, dryly commenting that "talking to you has made me feel better about myself" (he doesn't get it).
