Line 14:
After tremendous effort, [[Daria Morgendorffer]] finally gets her drivers license, complete with requisite bad photo. [[Jane]] throws her a small celebration, where she tells Daria that she'll be driving [[Mystik Spiral]] to a gig in [[Fremont]], which is over 100 miles away. [[Helen]] and [[Jake]] leave for a weekend marriage retreat, leaving Daria to keep an eye on [[Quinn]] and the [[Fashion Club]]. However, just as Daria is about to relax, Jane calls and asks Daria to bail her and the band out of jail: they were ticketed for a traffic violation, but couldn't pay the fine.
After obtaining some cash from the Lane household, Daria is off to the rescue in Jake's Lexus, with Quinn on board "in case something cool happens." Daria is a typical first-time driver: timid and slow, and easily freaked out by such things as 18-wheelers. Quinn chides Daria for her timidness and convinces her to let her drive, but abandons that plan to flirt with [[Travis]], a singing cowboy hitchhiker they pick up

As Jane and the band endure run-ins with various jailhouse denizens, Travis manages to sweet-talk the bail money out of Quinn, forcing her and Daria to work together on a scheme to make the money back. The scheme is to sweet-talk a bar of cowboys into paying up replacement cash, to prove cowboys aren't "all bad"; when one particularly smart cowboy realises they're being conned, Daria quotes some Conway Twitty lyrics she overheard Travis said and that quietens the situation.
Once they get to the jail, they find that Jane and the Spiral are working off their "debt to society" by entertaining kids at a birthday party for the sheriff's daughter. Soon, the Morgendorffer girls and the Spiral entourage head home, and an annoyed Daria shows Quinn that she's anything but timid when they encounter Travis once again... and Daria tries to run him over.
