Summary
This episode begins with Janet Barch, the man-hating science teacher, assigning partners for a lab project, involving running rats through a maze. Upchuck ends up paired with cheerleader Brittany Taylor, and blackmails her into being his slave for the duration of the project. (While it's fairly clear that nothing sexual occurred, it's not spelled out one way or the other either.) Daria was paired with Brittany's boyfriend, football player Kevin Thompson. Quinn used this as an excuse to spend a week attempting to ingratiate herself with Kevin, and much hilarity ensued.
