* BlackSheep: Jane's immediate family is considered the black sheep branch of the Lanes, and the only reason they get invited to reunions is so their relatives can gawk at and mock them for being screw-ups.



* NotSoAboveItAll: Back when they were both hippies during their last camping trip, a much younger Helen blanched at the thought of not having access to "chemically softened toilet paper."
* OhCrap: Quinn and Daria both silently freak out when they realize their parents have gone insane.



* ProperlyParanoid: Daria didn't trust Jake's foraging skills so she didn't eat the berries he picked, which made her the only member of the family who didn't descend into psychotropic hysterics.




to:

* WhamLine: When Daria and Quinn try to figure out why their parents have gone nuts, Daria suspects it was due to the berries Jake found except for the fact Quinn ate them and she's fine. Quinn agrees with her... because as she puts it, those weren't "the glitterberries."

To relieve Jake's stress, Helen suggests that the family goes on a camping trip. While Jake does seem to love the great outdoors (unlike either of his daughters), he nevertheless has a hard time letting go out of his anxiety and bad memories of camping with his father. What's worse, his attempt to gather berries for breakfast causes everyone but Daria to start acting insane(r than usual).

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Most of the Lane Family either passive-aggressively patronize Jane and Trent, or just flat out act hostile and rude to them. Jane's grandma specifically gets her up close for the sake of screaming at her.

A subplot involves Jane and Trent being forced to attend the Lane Family Reunion. Compared to their household, everyone else is quite normal, a bit critical, and ''way'' too perky for their tastes. They wind up stealing their aunt's rental car to drive to the airport and fly home a day early.
