This episode takes a break from the successful formula of having the characters dealing with the sort of situations real people may have to deal with and replaces it with what can only be described as a surreal fantasy... While out walking Daria bumps into Cupid and the personification of St. Patrick's Day; they want her help finding three other personifications of holidays that have escaped from Holiday Island to form their own punk band. It turns out that until they return home nobody will celebrate their holidays so no more Christmas, Bonfire Night (referred to here as Guy Fawkes' Day) and Halloween. In a sub-plot Cupid uses his charms in Helen and Jake and their activities lead Quinn to worry that they will have another baby and she is determined to stop that.
This is the weakest episode of 'Daria' I've seen so far; the basic plot may have worked in a series that routinely features the ridiculous but not one as firmly grounded in reality as 'Daria'. Much of the episode was fairly embarrassing to watch, there were a handful of funny moments but not enough to make this worth watching. I'd recommend skipping this if you aren't a completist.
