Jake accidentally starts a kitchen fire, so the Morgendorffers have to stay at a hotel for a few weeks while the house is repaired. However, because the idea of sharing a room with Quinn is too nightmarish to contemplate, Daria decides to move in to the Lane household. Unfortunately things are turning rocky between Jane and Tom and she starts to suspect something's going on with Daria and Tom.

Meanwhile, Helen and Jake are loving hotel life and are feeling more relaxed than they've felt in years while Quinn has to figure out if a cute bellhop is actually stalking her.

!!Tropes:

* AccidentalTruth: Out of jealousy, Sandi gets Quinn to start thinking Bobby is really stalking her. Turned out Sandi was right.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: When Daria and Tom were at odds, Jane earnestly wanted them to get along. Just not ''this'' well.
* BriefAccentImitation: Quinn has an amusing go at Sandi's monotone delivery.
* CallBack: Jane mentions her older brother Wind, and his emotional problems, as seen back in "Lane Miserables."
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: After the police tells the Morgendorffers that Bobby was charging their credit card for all the expensive stuff he was giving Quinn "for free" and would later hack into the hotel's database to delete the charges, Quinn only gets disgusted because ''she almost dated a computer geek''.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Jane accuses Daria (who is staying at the Lane home) of intercepting Tom on his way to see Jane because, due to the house's layout, he could not have just stopped by Daria's room unless he had gone out of his way to do so. Only then does it dawn on her that he might have done just that.
* HyperAwareness: Trent was the only one who realized first that Tom and Daria were starting to have feelings for each other, even before themselves.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Helen doesn't let Jake forget that he nearly burned their house down, and is quite callous about.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: During the ride home at the end, the Morgendorfers start arguing over Daria staying at Jane's without permission, Jake's driving and nearly burning their kitchen down. Daria, still quelling over her potential feelings for Tom, doesn't interject with any of her usual snark and Jake is the first to notice Daria isn't responding at all.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: It's obvious Sandi is only implying Bobby is stalking Quinn because she's jealous of the attention Quinn's getting, [[spoiler: but it turns out he ''was'' stalking her.]]
* StalkerWithACrush: It turns out Bobby is indeed one of these despite Sandi only planting the idea in Quinn's head to mess with her. Throughout the episode he would give Quinn free food and beverages, later upgrading her to a more lavish suite, and claim his supposed uncle the hotel manager said it was okay. Two hotel detectives later call the Morgendorffers in and reveal the manager's ''not'' Bobby's uncle, and he was charging everything he gave Quinn to Helen and Jake's credit cards before deleting the purchases from the hotel database to cover his tracks.
* StraightMan: Jane only realizes that she was being irrational and jealous after Trent points out that Tom didn't stand her up on purpose, but he still notices that things between Tom and Jane were not going well.
* SuppressedRage: Angry over her relationship with Tom, Jane takes it out during art class by stabbing and tearing her canvas with a paintbrush. Ms. Defoe tries to calm Jane's anger, but to no avail.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Helen and Jake manage to do some real unwinding at the hotel and it's shown to be a genuine improvement to both their temperaments and their relationship. All that vanishes the moment the hotel detectives call them about Quinn.
