Synopsis by Brian J. Dillard

Daria (voice of Tracy Grandstaff) becomes the subject of kinky rumors around the school in the penultimate episode of the animated MTV series Daria. The gossip starts after Tom (voice of Russell Hankin) accidentally falls asleep in Daria's room during a study break. At 4 a.m., Jake (voice of Julian Rebolledo), tipsy from a client dinner, stumbles onto the impromptu sleepover and immediately spills the beans to Helen (voice of Wendy Hoopes). Daria convinces her irate mother that the entire situation is innocent, but Quinn (voice of Wendy Hoopes) overhears parts of their conversation and can't wait to share her sexual misinformation with the Fashion Club. Once the rumors spread, they get back to Daria via her best friend, Jane (voice of Wendy Hoopes). She heads straight to the source, but Quinn, convinced that Daria and Tom really are doing it, is so weirded out that she won't even discuss the matter. Daria retaliates with a rumor of her own about Quinn, but all the gossip gets her and Tom to talking. They decide they really are ready to have sex. On the night in question, however, Daria chickens out, giving Tom yet another opportunity to prove what a standup guy he is. In the end, Daria convinces her mother that there's nothing physical going on between her and Tom; emotionally, however, their relationship is growing by leaps and bounds.
