Both [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] and [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn]] are caught sneaking into their house late at night, so [[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen]] and [[Jake Morgendorffer|Jake]] introduce a set of rules regarding late nights, dates and curfew. Quinn, while

So everything is back to normal, except that [[Kevin Thompson|Kevin]] still believes Daria had been subjected to a strange experience while "grounded". Only Daria's witty putdown makes him realise how foolish the idea is, to the bemusement of Jane and Daria.
