Daria and Kevin are forces to work as lab partners in science class. The homework consists of teaching a mouse tricks. Daria does all of the work, of course, while Kevin watches football on TV and flirts with Quinn.

Quinn gets Daria to baby sit for her. Daria, who has no interest in being an authority figure since she doesn't respect authority, is stuck with two well-behaved "PC" kids who say things like "We don't like commercials – they lie."

Quinn decides she needs cosmetic surgery, and drags Daria to the doctor with her. She is happy to consult with Quinn, but very interested in Daria, whom she views as a long-term project and potential masterpiece.
