==Summary==
Lawndale High
[[Image:Jaw-titanic2.gif|frame|left|The ''Titanic'' scene at the bow]]
==Trivia==▼
[[Quinn]] gets a mega-makeover for the cruise and dumps her date to attend with [[Marco]], a talcum powder model she meets at the beauty salon. [[Jake]] and [[Helen]] also decide to attend in order for Jake to butter up the ship's owner for a consulting contract. However, when he tries to suck up to the owner at the cruise, the owner's too concerned about the ship's drunken captain to listen and instead Jake gets hit on non-stop by the owner's overly amorous wife, [[DeeDee]]; meanwhile, Helen gets into a poker game with [[Angela Li|Ms. Li]] and the gambling-addicted [[Anthony DeMartino|Mr. DeMartino]], whose luck has definitely seen better days; Marco is a no-sho and [[Sandi]] makes Quinn's life hell over it by spreading the news all over the ship; [[Kevin]] and [[Brittany]] adjourn to the lifeboat to make out, which falls into the water and drifts away from the ship; and Daria and Jane just want to catch up on the sleep they missed during the marathon. Eventually, Jake escapes DeeDee's clutches; DeeDee goes on to pursue [[Timothy O'Neill|Mr. O'Neill]], and gets tossed overboard by [[Janet Barch|Ms. Barch]]; Helen loses big to Ms. Li; and Daria and Jane don't get any sleep at all as they're drawn into Quinn's drama. Daria reluctantly advises her sister and, when the Fashion Club turn up, lies that Marco called to cancel to shut down Sandi.
Disaster strikes when the captain leaves to go to bed, and when Jake tries to stop him he gets distracted by a massive argument with Helen; Daria and Jane, realising sleep is lost to them, are the first people to sniff out that the now-pilotless ship is going to crash into a garbage scow. The ''Princess Fairy'' sinks in shallow water and as everyone jumps overboard, the tables get turned on Sandi when her date [[Brent]] (who is attracted to Quinn) publicly dumps her.
As Helen and Jake argue on the ride home, they unwittingly pass Marco -- who ''did'' turn up but at the wrong time and place -- who is being accosted by DeeDee. Back on the water, Kevin and Brittany float alone, forgotten, and unmourned...
==Music==
In the original broadcast:
* The intro of the song "Pure Morning" by Placebo is heard when garbage ship is first spotted with the cruise ship CBDR (Constant Bearing, Decreasing Range).
* The intro of the song "What's my age again?" by Blink 182 is heard when cruise ship is abandoned.
▲==Trivia==
*For some reason the guests are able to stand up after the ship is abandoned and walk away, making the water about waist high. A ship like the ''[[Princess Fairy]]'' would probably have a keel height (very bottom of the hull) much greater than about 2-3 feet and would have scrapped the bottom. Why it is able to sink in waist high water is also confusing.▼
