The Teachings of Don Jake: Difference between revisions

 
Line 46:
This episode is notable because for a short time the lives of the Morgendorffers hang by the barest of threads. The ''deus ex machina'' that saves everyone's life lies in Daria's discovery of her mother's cell phone and ability to dial 911 while the rest of her family, hallucinating wildly from eating psychotropic berries, runs off through an uninhabited woodland. Daria's refusal to eat the berries is also a key element. The potential for [[Alternate Universe|alternate-universe]] stories is great, and indeed several AU versions of this tale exist with outcomes ranging from comedy to tragedy.
