La familia Morgendorffer se muda a la ciudad de Lawndale, y Daria y Quinn asisten a su primer día de clases. Quinn encaja rápidamente entre sus nuevos compañeros. Daria falla en un examen psicológico y debe tomar clases adicionales, en donde conoce a su nueva amiga, Jane Lane. Jane tiene las respuestas del examen, por lo que aprueban el curso extra y son homenajeadas en un acto escolar. Daria avergüenza a Quinn, que fingía ser hija única, dándole las gracias enfrente de toda la escuela.

Daria is invited to a party at Brittany's. So is Quinn - oh the horror for both! To our surprise, Daria and Jane attend the party and mayhem ensues.

Helen and Jake decide that Daria and Quinn may not be prepared for college. They enroll the two in a college prep course.

Daria reluctantly becomes involved in the opening of Lawndale's new student coffeehouse. She also becomes involved in its closing.

Daria's economics class takes a field trip to a new enormous mall. Daria is sickened by the teeming masses. She discovers Quinn playing hooky at the mall. Daria is no longer sick.

Lawndale High has a couple of visitors, claiming to be modeling scouts looking for the next Christy Turlington. Quinn and Brittany have high hopes. Daria and Jane are revolted by their presence.

Daria and Kevin are forced to work as lab-partners in science class. The homework consists of teaching a mouse tricks. Daria does all the work, of course, while Kevin watches football on TV and flirts with Quinn.

Quinn gets Daria to babysit for her. Daria, who has no interest in being an authority figure since she doesn't respect authority, is stuck with two well-behaved "PC" kids.

The annual teachers-versus-deejays roller hockey game is coming, and there's a good chance the students will get to see Mr. DeMartino die of an aneurysm during the game—but Daria's going to miss it because she's been grounded by her parents.

Daria and Jane hitch a ride to the "Alternapalooza" festival with Jane's brother Trent (Daria's heartthrob!) and his friend Jesse. Their van doesn't work so well, but it's an interesting trip.

Jake's stress level is reaching critical mass, so the Morgendorffers go on a camping trip. Like that's gonna help.

Lawndale High is abuzz with homecoming preparations. The quarterback who led the team to a state championship three years ago is returning! Then he has a tragic accident, which ironically leads to sudden popularity for our Daria.
