In the first half of the two-part podcast finale, hosts Brittany and Laura discuss "Is It College Yet" in which our Lawndale friends confront the realities of their lives beyond high school.

The ambitious final episode of the regular series contains sweetness, depth, and some major character development for Daria; when a fridge box triggers a troubling memory, Daria starts to question herself and who her antisocial behavior has most affected in her life. Hosts Brittany & Laura chat about their own podcast journeys, young Helen's hair, and visceral childhood memories. They keep the sappy goodbyes at bay... for now.
When Quinn starts a rumor at school that Daria and Tom had sex, Daria confronts whether her relationship is ready for that level of intimacy. Hosts Brittany and Laura recollect their own clunky introductions to sex, discuss the continually coded queerness of Daria's friendship with Jane, and enjoy the sweet sounds of Savage Garden.

Is Jane into Alison? Are Tom and Daria going to break up? Is Quinn falling for David? Brittany and Laura get far too stoned and try to find the strength to keep on track. Also, surprise guest appearance from Brittany's girlfriend who they dragged into the room when they were too high to figure out how to start the episode. Sorry for all the chewing.

Between Seasons 4 and 5, the angels from above gave us the full-length feature film "Is It Fall Yet?" Our favorite Lawndale kids are out of school for the summer: Daria is running a kid's camp with Mr. O'Neill, Kevin and Brittany are (bad) lifeguards, Jodie and Mack hardly see each other, Quinn gets Carson Daly as a tutor and Jane and Bif Naked hit it off. Check out Part 2 next week, where hosts Brittany and Laura get (pretty) stoned and recap the rest of the film.
In the series' most dramatic finale yet, the building tension in the love triangle between Daria, Jane, and Tom comes to a head. Hosts Brittany & Laura, strap in, strap on, and make sweet love to this episode by exhaustively processing an episode that's filled with exhaustive processing.
