Line 13:
Inspired by a bizarre seminar by [[Professor Bentley]] at a teacher convention, talking about how accepting failure can be a path to future success, [[Timothy O'Neill]] instructs his homeroom class to find a task that they are sure to fail at.
 
Most of the students, however, ''succeed'' at failing, thus causing ripple effects throughout their lives, and identity crises: [[Kevin]] "succeeds" at "failing as an athlete", getting kicked off the football team; [[BrittanBrittany]] "succeeds" at becoming unpopular and loses her place on the team; [[Jodie]] fails to get her parents to stop overworking her, causing her to be miserable; and [[Jane]] is able to behave in a conventional manner, to the point of getting asked to join the cheerleading squad. On top of that, Daria's machinations to get Quinn banned from going to the Teen Fashion Extraviganza fail - and she ends up assigned to chaperone her at the mall.
 
Jane, disturbed by how easy it was to be conventional, decides to join the cheerleading team - her confidence is shot and she's worried she might have been kidding herself about being an outcast artist all along. However, she decides against it after imagining herself abandoning Tom & Daria ''and dating Kevin''. [[Mack]] and Jodie help Kevin and Brittany regain their places.
