* "Through a Lens, Darkly" shows Daria at her most vulnerable. She decides, after much agonizing, to get contact lenses; it's initially for practical purposes (the [[{{Meganekko}} thick glasses]] she wears are blocking her field of vision), but she also knows that it will change her appearance considerably, and her entire public persona is built around the idea of not caring what others think. Her first day at school wearing the contacts is a mixed bag--Brittany and Kevin call her "almost normal", Jane is clearly surprised, and Trent genuinely compliments her appearance--and leads to a nightmare about her looking monstrous for "selling out." The next day, Daria hides in a bathroom stall near tears, because she feels like she's betrayed herself for having the perfectly-understandable desire of wanting to feel good about her looks. It's tough to see someone as [[TheSnarkKnight snarky]] as Daria facing such a crisis--and even tougher when you realize that she's struggling immensely thanks to the perfectionist standards she's put on herself.

* In "Write Where it Hurts", Daria is frustrated about her inability to complete a writing assignment. Helen, after initially upsetting Daria due to her own stress problems, helps Daria to come up with a writing premise. Just hearing Helen speak so knowingly about Daria, which indicates that she cares far more than Daria realized, is touching. But the real kicker is the story itself: [[spoiler:She writes about her family, years in the future, happy and well-adjusted. Her sister is raising a family, Daria's a professional writer, her father is much more relaxed and her mother is content. Underneath all the layers of cynicism and sarcasm, she loves her family and wants what's best for them all]]. Helen wasn't the only one tearing up after she read that.

** Just the way Lindy tried desperately to save her job after the screwdriver drink was discovered. After Quinn made it clear she wasn't going to lie for her, Quinn tried pinning the blame on one of the male workers, then one of the waitresses, then finally insinuating it was Quinn's screwdriver. That last one just made both Quinn and their Boss pity her in her desperate situation, where the latter just begs her to come clean. Despite her plea, the Boss firmly fires her on the spot.

* During "Daria!", when Daria and Jane are hiding with Brittany and Kevin and trying to wait the storm out, the girls are pretty sure their families haven't even realized they're not around. Of course, Daria's parents are trying to get a hold of her at that very moment... but Trent wouldn't even 'know' there was a storm coming if the phone hadn't woken him up.

* Daria and Jane's friendship is still in taters after Daria starts going out with Tom. Jane is cold towards Daria, who desperately tries to instigate a genuine talk with her friend only to be rejected. When Daria and Jane finally have a heart-to-heart, Jane admonishes Daria for wanting to go out with Tom, regardless of what it did to their friendship (even though Daria really didn't want to lose her friend). Jane even admits she was wrong to say she was alright with the relationship initially, as she knew she deep down she wasn't, implying Jane is just as mad at herself as she is with Daria.
