Don't you see it?

That little bump?

Oh, I see it.

There is no bump. You do not have a bump.

It's nothing you should obsess over.

- You have a great nose. - Mm-hmm.

No, if you're gonna change something,

- I would go with your lips. - Mom!

It's not her fault that she got my thin lips.

If I had started juicing at her age,

mm, my whole life would have been different.

I could have been an MTV VJ.

What's that?

Oh, God, I've lived too long. [Sighs]

It's Westport's plastic surgery season.

People get their work done now

so their scars heal before their Christmas pictures.

I want to punch this entire town in the face.

You don't need to,

nor should you, change anything about yourself.

She is perfect.

You got braces when you were Taylor's age.

That's changing something.

Mom, could I talk to you over here for a second?

- I'm good. - Mnh-mnh.

[Sighs]

What the hell is wrong with you?

I told you. I don't like my lips.

Mom, you always put way too much focus on outward appearance,

especially when I was growing up.

It took me a very long time to unlearn it.

Oh.

But you did. [Chuckles]

I am trying very hard not to do that with my kids.

And I don't need you coming in here

and suggesting that they have plastic surgery!

Fine.

Raise them to love themselves no matter what they look like.

I am not the bad parent here!

KATIE: But I gotta hand it to her. She has kept it high and tight.

- Dr. Ellie! - You're back!

- Hi! - Principal Ablin said

you were recovering from an operation.

Is everything okay?

Everything is just fine.

[Chuckles lightly]

Dr. Ellie got her boobs done.

Permission to giggle?

Permission granted.

[Giggles]

Who's the new kid?

That's Andrew VandeVorde.

He just transferred from Milwaukee

after getting into a fist fight with a choreographer.

They call him "The Bad Boy Ballerino of Brew Town."

- Oh! Did you see Andrew's calves? - How could I miss them?

They're like two coconuts underneath a pair of Danskins.

You know what's underrated?

Being in proportion.

Oliver, don't be jealous.

There is nothing wrong with being flat-calved.

What's my desk doing in the foyer?

The real question is

what's wrong with you and your gene pool?

You stuck me with flaccid calves!

What are you talking about?

I feel bad about taking over your office, you know?

This way we each have our own space.

These aren't the legs of a strong male dancer.

These things belong in a Lady Bic commercial.

I don't know what's happening!

♪

Seasons are winter, spring, summer, and fall.

What kind of town has plastic surgery season?

Oh, well, apparently Katie-complaining season

- lasts year-round. - [Chuckles]

Just to be clear,

the point of Second Breakfast is to complain.

Stop calling me out.

Also, Greg's nose is whistling again.

Ew.

Ooo, cake.

Every day is cheat day when you're Katie Otto.

[Chuckles]

Look who I have here.

Hi, Katie.

Hi.

Do I know you?

You sure do.

- It's me. It's Evelyn. - Ahhh!

Evelyn...?

The fattest housewife in Westport Evelyn?

Not anymore!

She got gastric bypass surgery.

If she eats more than a thimble-full of food,

she craps her pants,

but boy, does she look good.

Why did you do this?

Were there health issues?

No, I just, uh, wanted to be invited to parties.

And it worked.

[Both laugh]

With Evelyn losing all this weight,

you know what that makes you?

I do.

The person who's gonna smash you over the head

with this bottle of olive oil

and then put flowers on your grave.

Come on, Evelyn.

There's a new restaurant I want to try

- that only serves smells. - Mmm.

Oh, my God. Chloe's right.

Thanks to plastic surgery season,

I am now the fattest housewife in Westport.

I can't believe Evelyn gave in to the peer pressure

and had her stomach lassoed.

They're definitely gonna get rid of the Chico's at the mall now.

I can't keep that place in business on my own.

You're not the one with the odd body.

They are.

Anyplace else, you're thin. In Canada you're a waif.

First of all, next trip, Canada.

I don't know why I'm letting it bother me so much.

I am comfortable with who I am.

It's my superpower.

What's my superpower?

You always pick the slowest checkout line.

- Take that, Superman! - Ugh.

Look who got inspired to slim down!

That is not what this is.

I'm just hiding from my family.

Well, I'm proud of you.

I don't want you to be proud of me!

I am!

[Sighs]

I can't take walks with you anymore.

People are going to think that I'm trying to exercise,

and I don't want to give Chloe Brown Mueller

or any of the rest of those crazy bitches the satisfaction.

It's absurd you would stop taking walks, which you enjoy,

just to spite someone who thinks you're trying to get healthy.

Isn't that also giving in

to the Westport body image nonsense?

I'm all over the place, Greg!

You knew that when you married me.

[Sighs]

She moved more of my stuff.

This is ridiculous.

So just go to your office on campus.

[Sighs] I would, but my assistant Grant is there...

[Electronic whirring]

Grant, wouldn't it be easier just to hand me the coffee?

Sure, but not as fun!

[Laughs]

[Chuckles awkwardly]

You are the boss.

Sit him down and tell him to be less annoying.

I'm concerned if I confront him,

he'll get all defensive and...

make things uncomfortable.

Just tell your mom to stop moving my stuff.

Greg, it's time that you do it yourself.

Confrontations can be fun.

I can't go a week without four or five good confrontations.

I've noticed.

I could have done without

the one about me getting butter in the jam jar.

Two knives, Greg. That's all I ask.

WOMAN: ...Now that your lip liner is done,

it's time to apply your liquid lipstick.

Then...

What are you guys doing?

You two look absolutely ridiculous.

What is that smell?

It's called "Calf Blast."

Guaranteed to blast your calves in twenty-four hours.

Why are you blasting your calves?

There's this new hot ballerino

who's been flaunting his bulging calves

and Gina can't take her eyes off them.

Your legs are fine... your lips are fine.

We are all fine.

A few crunches wouldn't kill your father.

What are your feelings about boob jobs?

A person who gets a boob job needs a brain job,

What's so urgent Dr. Ellie had to call us in?

I had to cancel my office hours to come here.

Hey, I have a job now, too.

And I already figured out the two words

that get me out of everything:

...As of late,

Anna-Kat has been uncharacteristically dismissive of me.

[Dismissively] Yeah, yeah.

Anna-Kat, you love Dr. Ellie. Why would you do that?

Mama told me to.

I thought that'd be the answer, but I was hoping otherwise.

Anna-Kat, I did not tell you to be dismissive of Dr. Ellie.

[Sighs]

Ohhh.

You said people with fake boobs are not to be trusted.

I never said that.

I said they are not to be taken seriously.

Which is different.

Not really.

I wasn't talking about you.

I was talking about stupid women

who do it just to feel better about themselves.

That's why I did it.

Right, yes.

How can I possibly raise my kids in this town

where everyone only values appearance?

Taylor wants to change her lips,

Oliver wants to change his calves,

She had to say, "My eyes are up here" to me three times.

Well, maybe she was starting to look like those women at my gym

whose boobs are like tube socks full of pocket change.

Okay. I've seen Dr. Ellie.

More like Ellie-vated. [Chuckles]

Hi, ladies.

Oh, hold on just one second there.

[Gasps] Ooh. Okay.

Oh, and here's a calorie-cutting tip for you:

don't pour the salad dressing on.

Just dip the tines of your fork in it.

Oh, thank you, Chloe.

Now here's a life-extending tip for you:

run, before I dip the tines of my fork into your eyeball.

I understand you're angry with me

because I was born with these perfect girl-next-door looks,

a dynamite metabolism, and I'm aging like Tom Cruise.

This is a seventeen-hundred dollar jean jacket.

Chloe Brown Mueller is looking at everything that I do!

If I order fruit, she's like, "Ooo, good for you,"

and if I order a waffle she's like, "Look who's holding on to her title!"

You can't let her get into your head.

It's too late! She's stalking me.

I might have to stop coming to Stewart and Kingston's.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, slow down.

You can't quit this.

I can't go back to having lunch with just my house manager.

Ugh! It's always like

[high-pitched] "blah blah blah you don't pay me enough,

I have rights blah blah blah."

So what am I going to do?

Well, you are clearly not gonna improve yourself,

so to get her off your back you've got to find something

that will tear her down to your level.

Like what?

Well, Doris is right. Chloe is from Westport.

There is no way she hasn't had work done.

There's got to be

a janked-up before picture of her somewhere.

Remember, we're not looking for Chloe Brown Mueller.

We're looking for her real name, Wanda Wiggly.

How'd you find that out again?

that Anna-Kat stole a candlestick from her house.

And, your legal name isn't Chloe Brown Mueller.

Dr. Ellie. Dr. Ellie!

She was in class with Wanda Wiggly.

She might have a copy of the yearbook in her office

You have got to get your hands on it.

Yeah, Dr. Ellie is not exactly a fan of mine right now.

I'm just saying, Anna-Kat,

I'm sure Dr. Ellie, as an educator,

regrets how big her ta-tas turned out.

I regret nothing.

It's the best thing I ever did.

Uh-huh, okay, okay.

Greg?

No.

I guess this means

I'm going to have to apologize to Dr. Ellie.

I hate apologizing to people.

It gives the impression that I have done something wrong.

So let's just sneak into her office and grab the yearbook.

Ah, I don't know.

Sometimes a heartfelt apology

really clears out your whole energetic system.

Ugh. Another reason you cannot quit Second Breakfast.
