Line 28:
The next day, at school, Quinn is angry when she finds the rest of the Fashion Club had had nose jobs without her. Sandi and Quinn fight over fashion and attire, resulting in an even more angry and frustrated Quinn. This is interrupted by Brooke's appearance, who by now has had a complete cosmetic surgery and is very attractive, eliciting awe from the whole Fashion Club. Her request to join them is seemingly considered by Sandi, who strongly hints that Quinn could be on her way out. In despair, Quinn goes to her sister with a plan to get the money for her operation (provided by Shar): Daria would ask it from their parents, pretending it would be for growth hormones for herself. Daria refuses, and Jane jokingly proposes that Quinn starts a collection, an idea Quinn happily adopts.
Quinn's feedback from her colleagues is less that helpful: female colleagues are sceptic; male colleagues expect ''something '' in return; and Mrs. Barch is sarcastic of the whole plan. When Quinn goes to complaint to her sister, stating she ''has'' to stay popular and attractive, the latter points out there is nothing wrong with her and no operation is needed, though this advice falls in
The final scene shows Kevin still conducting Barch's experience. However, tired of being ignored by everybody, he uses Daria's (joking) advice and is paying people to talk to him: this results in a long line of people in live wanting to greet him…
==Trivia==
* Tiffany's rate of speech is still normal, as shown in [[The Invitation]]
* This is the first an only appearance of Dr. Shar in the series. She would be seen later as a background character in "[[I Loathe a Parade]]."
* This was the first episode which showed that [[Upchuck]] basically was all talk, with him being HORRIFIED by the implants.
* This is also the only episode in which [[Brooke]] speaks and makes a noteworthy appearance. Her desire to join the [[Fashion Club]] would be used later in some fanfiction.
* When speaking on the phone to Jane, Daria says that she has low-self esteem: "If I didn't have such low self-esteem, she could have gotten to me." This contrasts with her statement in [[Esteemsters]] that she doesn't have low self-esteem. But it could also be meant as a cynical joke.
* Quinn makes a comment about growth hormones to Daria, which is a meta reference to the fact that Daria is smaller than Quinn (despite being the older sister).
