Summary

After some gentle nudging from Jodie and the promise of web authoring software from her parents, Daria applies to be a photographer for the Lawndale High yearbook, where she meets photo editor Ted DeWitt-Clinton, a previously home-schooled teen who is remarkably sheltered yet savvy in unexpected ways. After some verbal fencing, they each let it slip that they like each other.

The subplot of this episode concerns Ted and Daria convincing Anthony DeMartino to cut Yearbook space for clubs and increase it for the school's charitable works and the like, and the efforts of the other students to restore space.

Daria's Reading Material

• In the scene immediately after her first meeting Ted, Daria is shown in Jane's room reading a monograph on Goya, Ted having previously said Daria's photographs remind him of Goya's paintings.

• In a subsequent scene, Daria is shown in her room reading Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet while Quinn complains to her of the new yearbook policy to reduce the pages alloted for sports and clubs.

• At a scene in an arcade near the end of the episode, Daria is shown reading an book without a title on its cover.
