8/10
Fallings out
8 January 2013
Warning: Spoilers
In the previous episode, at the end of season three, Daria's friendship with Jane took a bit of a dent when Daria though Jane is ignoring her in favour of her new boyfriend; I don't know how much time is meant to have passed but they are still not getting along the way they used to. This means when they are given a school project where students have to partner up to study real world financial matters they choose not to work together. Daria ends up working with Jodie, who doesn't wish to work with her boyfriend Mack because he isn't financially reliable and Jane ends up with Brittany because she has had a falling out with Kevin. While things don't go quite how they planned Daria and Jane's pairings manage to arrange deals successfully... Kevin is a little too successful as he forgets that they aren't meant to actually go through with the deals!

I liked how issues from the previous season weren't just dropped as though they never happened as well as being realistic it provided an opportunity to get Daria and Jane working with other people. The drama worked well enough and there were some good laughs; Kevin's reaction on learning he shouldn't have given a cash down payment was hilarious and the way Brittany would have got a discount because the sleazy salesman fancied her was as funny as it was disturbing! Overall this was a good start to the season with a decent mix of laughs and drama.
