This is a very unconventional episode--yet despite this, it is still enjoyable. The show starts with Mr. DeMartino pointing out that ALL the football players except one got perfect scores on the quiz--meaning they all obviously cheated. And until the person who stole the test admits it, he threatens to fail EVERYONE on the quiz. Obviously he could not do this, but it inspired Daria to have a very weird dream--a dream in which Kevin was murdered because he must have been the one to steal the quiz. The fact that Kevin was dead didn't seem to bother anyone but for absolutely no reason, Daria was blamed for this. So, it's up to Daria and Jake to investigate and figure out who was responsible.
This episode was good because it was chock full of zingers and great lines. So it proved that even a goofy idea can work if the writing is up to snuff. Quite enjoyable and different.
