'''The Kiss''' is the climactic scene of the season 4 finale "[[Dye! Dye! My Darling]]" when [[Daria Morgendorffer]] and [[Tom Sloane]] first kiss in Tom's car. This event has generated considerable fan discussion since it was originally aired
The kiss was the culmination of the Daria-Jane-Tom love triangle and represented Daria's betrayal of [[Jane Lane|Jane]]. It began the ultimate test of Daria and Jane's friendship and would set the stage for the tension between Daria and Jane seen in ''[[Is It Fall Yet?]]''.
In [[Caira]]'s contemporary essay "[[Has It Fallen Yet?]]", it's reported that after it happened: "we've got a comparably huge influx of new [message board] posters, almost all of the old ones are there, and unlike before, almost *nobody* is sitting on the fence. Roughly fifty percent are loving the new episodes and anxiously awaiting for ''Is It Fall Yet?'' for further development of the relationships (I'll call them category one), about 40% are aghast at the romance in what was once a show above all that and dreading the assumed further horrors of IIFY (category two), and most of the remaining ten have the same issues with the romance but look forward to IIFY to get the whole unpleasant business over with -- having faith in Glenn to deliver some genuinely new goods in Season Five (category three). ... and one or two disappointed -- but quiet -- D/Trent 'shippers."
