That evening, [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] and [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn]] agree not to tell their parents about the trip. Unfortunately, the [[Fashion Club]] put Quinn in charge of developing a hairstyle that will "prevent helmet hair": under extreme pressure from [[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen]]'s mild interest in the new look, Quinn holds out for a full five seconds before she blabs the whole thing. [[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen]] is interested, seeing this as a way for Daria to network and gain letters of recommendation for college; Daria resists this claim and Helen tries to get Jake to help her, only for him to remember "forgot to fix that loose floorboard at the other end of the house!" before she can actually say ''what'' she needs his help for. A weary Helen decides that she should probably talk to the teachers directly to be an involved parent, and asks if they need parent volunteers for the field trip. "NO!", cry her daughters, to Helen's clear relief.

The next day, the classes travel to [[Jim's Paintballing Jungle]] on buses. In the first bus, [[Timothy O'Neill|O'Neill]] tries to have everybody singing, much to the disgust of everyone else, so DeMartino takes over and starts a lecture on guerilla warfare. [[Jane Lane|Jane]] tries to convince Daria to ditch the game and go see the “[[Great White Shark]]” tourist attraction; Daria protests "it'll be stupid and we're already doing something stupid". [[Brittany Taylor|Brittany]] and [[Kevin Thompson|Kevin]] try to get [[Jodie Landon|Jodie]] and [[Mack]] to play games with them to pass the time ("Monopoly is not a word game"),and Kevin accidentally tells Brittany that he's been dating someone behind her back. In the other bus, the Fashion Club members swear on an issue of ''[[Waif]]'' not shoot each other on pain of wearing ugly outfits for a whole week, while the 3 J's vow to protect Quinn during the game, to [[Sandi Griffin|Sandi’s]] displeasure.

Upon arriving, Daria and Quinn have a surprise: Helen and Jake are present as volunteers. It turns out that when O'Neill called about a student review meeting, Helen had asked if they needed volunteers for paintballing in order to seem 'involved'. O'Neill wishes all parents could be this involved! (Helen laughs nervously) As her peers turn to laugh at her, Daria decides the shark is looking good after all.

The party arrives and, after a presentation of the field by Jim, students and adults combine in two teams: in the blue team, DeMartino addresses his team members about warfare and pain before stating that the aim of the game is "shoot to kill". Daria points out it's to capture the flag; "whatever", says DeMartino. In the red team, O'Neill gives a sensitive speech (a sighing Helen checks her watch) before being scared off by some air shots fired by [[Janet Barch|Barch]]. The situation is then taken in hand by Brittany, who surprises everybody when she presents a detailed strategy to win the game.
