Analysis |
| |
Daria, Jane, and Romance
Both Daria and Jane tell each other "I hate you" after they each diffuse each other's romantic encounter. This foreshadows the events of future episodes, including "Jane's Addition" and "Partner's Complaint", in which Daria resents Jane when Jane gets close to a boy.
| Daria and Quinn
Daria spends her time at the party trying to undermine Quinn while Quinn spends her time trying to avoid Daria. Continuing the theme from last episode, Daria takes pleasure in "ruining Quinn's life" and goes to the party for that exact reason.
| Daria vs. The Mainstream
The episode captures the major theme of the series: Daria is unlike the rest of the school and tries her best not to sell-out into the mainstream. At the party she is completely ignored by the popular kids -- only Jane and Upchuck talked to Daria, but Daria, marching to her own beat, doesn't seem to mind.
