Much to Daria's annoyance, her economics class visits the newly opened "Mall of the Millenium" as part of a field trip, in an attempt to study supply and demand. The class are excited to be going, and the only two people who oppose the idea are Jane and Daria.
The bus ride to the mall is undoubtedly the best part of the episode. Kevin starts singing an annoying song, UpChuck preys on all the females on the bus, and Britney does a cheer when they get nearer. Daria's experiences while in the mall dont go much better, with her being a 10000th visitor to an embarassingly lame shop, bumping into Quinn and having to get a lift home with the fashion club and their "guy".
Quinn and her friends are at the mall because they sneak off from class. Wrong it may be, but their appearance is enjoyable, and yet another highlight of the episode. Exploiting this fact, Daria blags a free lift home from her sister and gets her to do housework for a month.
In true Daria style nothing gets left unanswered and everything comes full circle, in the end amounting to nothing. Would we have it any other way though? All in all, a good episode with lots of laugh-out-loud moments.moreless

ALLUSIONS (4)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Reaper Man Mrs. Bennett's comments about the mall as a living organism echo part of Terry Pratchett's book Reaper Man, in which he presents snow globes as mall eggs, shopping carts as mall larvae, and malls as predators of cities.
-
Martin Luther King Jr./Rosa Parks Jodie's reference to Dr. King and "sitting in the back of the bus" refers to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who fought for the civil rights of blacks in the 1960s. Back then, blacks were (among other things) required to sit at the backs of buses to make room for white passengers, a practice that was challenged by civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks. Her arrest, and the subsequent boycotting of buses by blacks, lead to the eventual end of this practice, and was the first significant victory of the civil rights movement.
-
Beanie Babies Fuzzy Wuzzy Wee Bits, and Mrs. Bennett's obsession with them, is a joke on the craze over the Beanie Babies collectable plush toys.
-
The Mall of America The Mall of the Millennium is a parody on the Mall of America in Minnesota, which claims to be the world's largest shopping mall.
