" 'Shipped Out" -
          Daria dreams about her future life with Trent. But when she learns he has a new girlfriend, her fantasies start to go awry. (A typical Daria/Trent story? Don't bet on it! This may be the first "cynical 'shipper" story in the history of Daria fandom, so if you're a hardcore 'shipper... be warned!)

"Andrea Speaks" -
          Both Morgendorffer sisters are forced to take a hard look at their lives when Daria comes face-to-face with someone who's more alienated than she is, and Quinn and Sandi face off in the Fashion Club elections, where an incident occurs that makes Quinn finally come to a decision about her glasses.

"Of Absolute Value" -
          Quinn's math teacher persuades Jake to help her "be all she can be" in math, bringing forth several burning questions. Such as: can Jake be a good father? Will Quinn surrender her Fashion Club duties to become a math "brain"? And can father and daughter ever find a common bond?

"Breaking the Mold" -
          Helen and Daria make a bet to see who can withstand a change in persona the longest. While Daria suffers on the school newspaper, Helen attempts to go artistic with the help of... Amanda Lane. The result: a lot of disaster with a touch of wisdom gained.

"Surreal World" -
          In yet another misguided attempt at fundraising, Ms. Li enlists Daria and six other LHS students to be on an experimental TV show... one that bears a suspicious resemblance to MTV's "The Real World."

What does Daria think??

"An Uneasy Marriage" -
          Jake joins Helen's art class in order to break up a potential liason between her and her sculpting instructor. But his presence may do their marriage more harm than good.
