Summary
This episode concerns the quest for physical perfection of the Fashion Club and their admirers at school, specifically the luckless Brooke, taking a darker turn.

More specifically, Brooke gets an alarming amount of plastic surgery, the three non-Quinn members of the Fashion Club follow suit with what might be nose jobs. Quinn temporarily falls under the sway of the persuasive plastic surgeon Dr. Shar, who can "fix" Quinn for thousands of dollars. For even more money, she can "fix" Daria by making her look like Quinn. "Sheesh, what would you want to look like that loser for?" Jane asks. "She needs six thousand dollars' worth of plastic surgery!"

Brooke's experience with the surgery does NOT end happily.
