Finally, Daria phones and gets good advice from her glass-wearing [[Amy Barksdale|aunt Amy]], who points out that using contact lenses is no vanity, only an option to have a slightly different appearance. And it would also "set your parents back a couple hundred bucks". This sets Daria’s mind to visit an ophthalmologist and purchase them.

The Next day Daria shows up at the Lane Household wearing her lenses
⚫
The next day, Daria wears her new contact lenses instead of her glasses, and is relieved to find Jane doesn't think she's 'sold out'. She starts to get reactions from colleagues and teachers: Jane thinks she looks cool (but "either [way] works for me"). [[Timothy O'Neill|O’Neill]] and [[Angela Li| Mr. Li]], after first failing to recognize her, are delighted and make enthusiastic comments, because they think she's trying to become more sociable, creating a new identity for herself, and "dropping that standoffish persona". An annoyed Daria protests that she only got them for driving, and is more annoyed when asked "so why are you wearing them now?". Later, [[Kevin Thompson|Kevin]] and [[Brittany Taylor|Brittany]] also compliment Daria’s new look - "you're, like, practically ''normal!''". Daria snarks that she got them because "I wanted to fit in better" and is annoyed when Kevin believes her, so she snarks the glasses were making her too smart.
''Daria: Ready?'' (Jane moans a reply.) ''Okay then let's go.'' (Jane moans another reply.)''You're not really a morning person are you?''

The contact lenses are irritating her eyes, so Daria takes them just as the school day ends, needing help from Jane to walk home as she didn't bring her glasses. On the way home, they run into Trent, who tells Daria "looks good" - causing her to blush That night, Daria has a nightmare in which her reflections are warped as long as she wears glasses - when she wears contacts, she looks normal, but then suddenly turns monstrous and distorted.
