Daria Dance Party

Lawndale's school dance is in two weeks, and there is still no one to head the dance committee. Ms. Li comes into Daria's art class to inform the students of this, and Kevin and Brittany break up "for good" when Brittany is reminded of the time that she caught Kevin "making out with Zoe." (He was supposedly just fixing her nose ring.)
Meanwhile, when Mr. O'Neill announces the school dance situation to Quinn's English class, and Sandi, remembering a bad dance committee experience a few years ago, sees it as yet another chance to drag Quinn down. So, she suggests that Quinn be the head of the committee, which would be composed of the Fashion Club.
While in one of the dance-planning meetings, Sandi first says that all of Quinn's ideas are stupid and then gets mad at her for saying that decorating the gym like the inside of the Concorde isn't a very good idea, so she decides to have her own party. Tiffany, of course, immediately follows her, but Stacy tries to stick up for Quinn. However, she is scared into submission when Sandi gives her the Look of Death. So, Quinn is stuck with planning the dance by herself.
In an attempt to get the dance off her shoulders, Quinn goes to Mr. O'Neill's class and tells him that her Great Aunt Audrey just died, and she is too grief-stricken to plan the dance. However, Mr. O'Neill's response contains some words that are far too large for her limited vocabulary, and it frightens her to the point that she admits she has no Great Aunt Audrey and relates her story to him.
After some rather mushy sympathy on Mr. O'Neill's part, he is struck with a great idea: he will be Quinn's dance committee! Quinn, understandably, isn't exactly thrilled with this idea, and refuses the offer. So, she goes around asking for help and ends up at Pizza King. There, she asks the Three J's and a few of their friends to help her, but they back out, claiming that guys can't work on dance committees. Sandi saunters over and invites all the guys and Quinn to the party she's having on Saturday. When Quinn informs her that Saturday is the day of the dance, Sandi feigns shock, their fight is rekindled, and the guys end up deciding to go to Sandi's party.
Meanwhile, Kevin and Brittany, who each made their respective teams take an oath not to ask their ex out, have desperately been trying to find a date on the forbidden team in a thinly-veiled attempt to make each other jealous. Neither of them have had much luck, but Jodie suggests that Brittany ask Robert, who has been with his family in Disneyland and, thus, knows nothing about the whole mess, when he gets back.
Quinn finally resorts to bribing Daria and Jane into helping her. Daria refuses, but Jane consents, deciding that this would be the perfect opportunity to do that big art piece she's been wanting to do. In a prime example of Quinnish-ness, Quinn proceeds to pawn off the entire dance on Jane. Still, Jane seems mollified by the thousand-dollar budget, and, in an especially generous move, she puts aside about ten bucks for a boom box and a bag of chips for the dance patrons.
After several sleepless nights on Jane's part, the gym is finally fully stocked and decorated for the dance. Daria even braves it to see Jane's work, which turns out to be a giant tribute to Jackson Pollack, complete with disco lights and Upchuck as the DJ.
When Quinn comes in and sees Jane's decorations, she is horrified until her dates begin to complement her on it, at which point she takes all credit for it.
Meanwhile, Sandi's party is quickly going from the "kind-of-sucks" level to full-blown disaster, as the football game that was supposed to be the main entertainment has been canceled due to a storm and the substitute, "50 Years of Off-Broadway Choreography" doesn't quite cut the mustard (this expression is permanently drilled into my brain due to Robin repeating it so excruciatingly often). So, the guys make their James Bond-esque escapes, except for Kevin, who, using the elegance and intelligence that only football players can hope to achieve, sneaks into the closet beside the front door. After only a few minutes, however, he realizes his error and makes a rather indiscreet exit out of the front door itself.
The Fashion Club doesn't discover that they've left for a long time, and by the time they get out of the hot tub to go to the dance, Sam and Chris have locked them out and are watching a really stupid action movie. (Take a look at it - there's this guy getting punched by another guy, then he's seen flying across the room and into a brick wall. Plus, the meat-slappers [as seen in the really old episode of MST3K, "The Cave Dwellers"] in the background are having a ball. Kind of funny in a sadistic sort of way.)
Back at the dance, Daria and Jane are spotted by two guys who I would consider really nice - basically male counterparts of our heroes. Apparently, Daria and Jane think the same of these two as I did and they strike up a conversation. The four of them agree to meet at Joe's Diner, the height of culinary taste, which claims inedible food and schizophrenic waiters, and all under the same roof! Unfortunately, this leads to Daria and Jane discovering that the guys are really Upchuck's cousins, so they make a hasty departure.
After coming to the dance, the Male Brainless Ones discover that their girlfriends are getting hit on by other guys, and they get into an enormous fight, which leads to Kevin getting a broken jaw (Oh, how sad.) and Brittany forgiving him.
Daria and Jane, meanwhile, are walking home together, trying to figure out whether or not the night was worth it. As they walk by Sandi's house, they've just decided that the night was pretty much balanced, but then it starts to snow and they see the Fashion Club locked out and freezing their asses off. Thus, they decide that it was all worth it, after all.
