Daria season 1 episode 12, titled "The Teachings of Don Jake," follows Daria's father, Jake, as he attempts to impart his newfound self-help wisdom on his family and friends.

Feeling inspired after attending a motivational seminar, Jake comes home with a stack of self-help books and a renewed sense of purpose. But his family and friends are less than thrilled with his newfound enthusiasm, particularly his wife Helen, who finds his constant affirmations and positive attitude exhausting.

Meanwhile, Daria is dealing with her own issues at school. She's been assigned to work on a group project with some of her least favorite classmates, including Kevin, Brittany, and Quinn. Daria is skeptical of the project's value and annoyed at having to work with people she doesn't like, but her teacher reminds her that in the real world, she'll have to work with people she doesn't necessarily get along with.

As the episode progresses, Jake's attempts to spread his self-help philosophy begin to backfire. He becomes so obsessed with positivity that he refuses to acknowledge any negative emotions or situations in his life, leading to some disastrous consequences.

Meanwhile, Daria struggles to work with her group, but ultimately comes to a realization about the project's value and learns to appreciate her classmates' different perspectives.

Overall, "The Teachings of Don Jake" is a comedic exploration of the self-help industry and the dangers of blindly following any one philosophy or way of thinking. While it may poke fun at Jake's newfound positivity, it also emphasizes the importance of balance and self-reflection.
