==Plot Summary==
[[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn]] is horrified that Daria is going to a party she will be attending, and tries to convince their parents to forbid Daria from going
Daria and Jane are dropped off at Brittany's house by [[Trent Lane|Trent]]. Jane bribes her way in by leaving her sketch book (containing "life studies") with the gate guard, and then convinces Brittany to invite her in by promising to help her in geometry ("Lots of circles, squares and triangles").
Later that evening, two young men try to interact with Daria and Jane
Despite Daria's stories and Quinn's decision not to choose a boyfriend right then, the Three J's continue to fawn over Quinn, even going so far as start a fight over her, to Quinn's delight.
Meawhile, the guard at the front gate is so enthralled with Jane's sketch book that he leaves his post to find her, allowing some gatecrashers to enter unabated. Eventually, an angry neighbor appears with the police and ends the party. Around that time, Daria and Jane, having alreay decided to leave, take advantage of the guard's absence to pretend to be the new community gatekeepers, and ask personal questions, along with trivia, to the residents as proof of identity.

This episode is the first to show characteristics, attitudes or catch phrases of some characters, which would later become recurring traits, both in the series and in FanFiction. These include:
* Joey, Jeffy, and Jamie slaving and competing over Quinn
* Quinn getting Jamie's name wrong
* Jane revealing that she is not shy around boys
* Mack being called "Mack Daddy" by [[Kevin Thompson]] (though probably not the first time it has happened, per his reaction)
* Daria doing Quinn's homework for money
* The first inklings of Daria's crush on Trent Lane
* Upchuck displaying his "feisty" persona
* Sandi and Tiffany being interested in popularity (more than other students)
Furthermore, [[Claire Defoe|Ms. Defoe]], Trent, Mack, Jodie, Upchuck, Joey, Jeffy, and Jamie all make their first appearances in this episode.
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.
