When Jake and Helen are scheduled to attend a conference the girls are told they will have to spend the weekend at home together and each of them can invite one friend over. Quinn ends up inviting the entire fashion club and Jane can't come over with Daria as she is going out with Tom and his friends. It looks like Daria is in for a Hellish weekend until Helen announces that she can no longer accompany Jake to the conference; this gives Daria a chance to get out of the house and do a little father-daughter bonding. The conference leads to some touching scenes as well as some good laughs when the larger than life entrepreneur running the conference turns up... and it becomes apparent that his story of ballooning heroism isn't exactly true. Back in Lawndale Helen lets the fashion club give her a make over and the girls are horrified when the boys see there 'morning faces' the next day!
This was another fun episode; it was nice to see each of the Morgandorffer girls spending some time with one their parents. This lead to some amusing sniping between Helen and Sandi and Quinn feeling mortified when her mother joins them. The scenes with Jake serve to show more of his tragic childhood but a potentially dangerous situation leads him successfully confronting his childhood demons.
