“The Invitation” was the second episode of the first season of Daria.

Summary

Cheerleader Brittany Taylor repays Daria's assistance with an art assignment by inviting her to a party, despite Daria's unpopularity. Quinn is invited too, and Daria manages to sneak in her friend Jane through a ruse.

Trent Lane, Mack Mackenzie, Jodie Landon, Upchuck, and Claire Defoe make their first appearances in this episode, and Jane reveals that she is not shy around boys.

The background character nicknamed Shaggy appears herein, and in one startling sequence is shown to be in two different places at the same time, leading to speculation that he has paranormal powers.

“The Invitation” and Fanfic

This episode has not been well covered in alternate-universe fanfic, except in ficlets in which everyone gets stoned from pot and busted by police, etc. Brittany's party plays an important roll in the AU story John by Richard Lobinske, giving Daria and John their first taste of the temptations they face.
