Few things are quite as inevitable as The High School Sitcom Party Episode, and Daria knocked hers out nice and early. When Daria helps Britney complete an art assignment, she earns herself an invitation to a huge party at Britney's parents' house. Jane (and Helen's insistence that Daria watch over her sister) convince her to go, despite her reservations—and much to our delight, because otherwise we never would have been introduced to THE AMBUSH OF CERAMIC TIGERS.
That'll make sense, I promise.
We'll also be taking an in-depth look at just why every high school show has at least one of these party episodes, as well as the research into just how much these young folks of today are actually partying.
