Line 16:
Things really start spiralling out of control at school, as [[Timothy O'Neill|Mr. O'Neill's]] offhand comments about how aliens were a metaphor for communists in 1950's sci-fi movies is overheard and misinterpreted by [[Kevin]], [[Brittany]], [[Upchuck]], [[Mack]], and [[Jodie]]... and [[Anthony DeMartino|Mr. DeMartino's]] arrest by the government agents apparently provides confirmation of everyone's suspicions. Daria and Jane endure more weirdness, including being followed by Kevin et al, who think they're "atomic communists", and a visit from U.F.O. nut [[Artie]], who's now working at [[Pizza King]] and spends hours filling Daria in on his alien encounters and how they've replaced his skin... thus costing him his job (which has happened to him before... often). Meanwhile, Jake becomes worried that Daria has become a communist as a reaction to him & Helen becoming "the Man" that they used to march against.
The misunderstandings are finally straightened out the next day. Mr. DeMartino's arrest? [[Janet Barch|Ms. Barch]] had turned him in to the Immigration and Naturalization Service as an alleged illegal alien. Quinn's new outfit? She was trying to hide a neck zit. Trent's unusually happy song? It's a jingle he wrote for [[Happy Herb|a local used car dealer]] to get some quick cash/free tires and was too embarrassed to tell Jane about.
