Starring: John Lynn, Julian Rebolledo, Tracy Grandstaff, Wendy Hoopes
Continuity mistake: When Daria is talking to her mother after getting home from visiting a college, the picture board on the wall above the stairs is blank instead of the usual pictures of the family and when the girls were much younger. It returns to normal later in the film.
Continuity mistake: Quinn mentions to her new coworkers at the restaurant that this is her first job, but she already had a job in episode 3-7 (It Happened One Nut) in a pet store.
Esteemsters - S1-E1
Trivia: This debut episode is the only time any reference to Beavis and Butt-Head (where Daria was originally first introduced before spinning off into her own series) is mentioned. Helen mentions the town of Highland (where B&B took place) in one line (without mentioning B&B by name). No other reference was ever made.
Question: At the end of the episode why does Daria look down and say "Damn" to herself?
Answer: Earlier, Quinn prods Daria to imagine having the object of her infatuation, Trent, as an actual boyfriend, and to picture her dream exactly the way it will be. Then, Daria's imagination turns her dream of being with Trent into an extremely unpleasant future, and Daria says, "I think I just got over something," which means she got over her infatuation with Trent. At the end of the episode, Trent tells Daria that it's too bad she's not older, so he could take *her* out, then Trent leaves. Daria then envisions a romanticized future with her perfect Trent, and in this dream Trent tells her, "Daria, you're the best thing that ever happened to me." And just like that, Daria's infatuation with Trent is back, and Daria exclaims, "Damn," in frustration.
