Line 28: Line 28:
The results of the night’s events are soon revealed the next day: Ted, Robert and the others are now hanging out together, Ted having apparently forgotten Daria. After she and Jane lament the missed date, Daria is informed by a terrified DeMartino that the yearbook pages had been returned to clubs (a decision caused by a trashing he had received by a psychotic [[Janet Barch]]). At home, Daria laments these events and is further incensed to learn her promised software had been given to Quinn, who had already used it to set up a web site. Visiting her sister at her room, she makes small talk before extracting her revenge on Quinn.

==Trivia==
⚫
After Ted's parents, [[Leslie DeWitt]] and [[Grant Clinton]], visit [[Jake]] and [[Helen]] to complain about Daria's "bad" influence on their son, Jake and Helen refer to the two of them as "hippies" in a derogatory manner. This attitude is in contrast with their behavior in [[That Was Then, This Is Dumb]], only two episodes before, where they find themselves missing their own hippie days when visited by old friends who were still hippies.


⚫
This is the first episode where Daria tries to date someone she has interest in, and without the emotional baggage that she had with [[Tom Sloane]]. Very few fanfics have ever presented Daria and Ted becoming a couple, however.

===Daria's Reading Material===
⚫
* In the scene immediately after her first meeting Ted, where he said Daria's photographs remind him of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Goya Goya's] paintings, Daria is shown in Jane's room reading a monograph on Goya.


⚫
Daria and Ted are targeted for harassment by [[Kevin]], the [[Fashion Club]], and [[Robert]] and his friends. While Kevin and the Fashion Club's plan is to stand there being annoying and Robert's unsure ''why'' he needs to harass Daria and the gang end up befriending Ted, this is the only time in the show that bullying rears its head.
⚫
* In a subsequent scene, Daria is shown in her room reading Shakespeare's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_and_Juliet Romeo and Juliet] while Quinn complains to her of the new yearbook policy to reduce the pages alloted for sports and clubs.


⚫
Mr Fun's Exciting World of Games is an ''incredible'' place, having an immersive virtual reality combat simulator in a suburban town in ''1998''! Whoa!

What's interesting about this is that just two episodes ago in [[That Was Then, This Is Dumb]], they were visited by old friends who were still hippies and found themselves missing their own hippie days.

This is the first episode where Daria tries to date someone she has interest in, and without the emotional baggage that she had with [[Tom Sloane]]. Very few fanfics have ever presented Daria and Ted becoming a couple, however - for whatever reason, Ted hasn't grabbed people as a potential partner. (Ted and ''[[Stacy]]'', by comparison, has been seen a few times)

Normally, Lawndale High seems abnormally peaceful.
