In season 2 episode 4, entitled "Makeover," Amy tackles the topic of personal transformation. The episode begins with Amy showing off her own new look - a daring and edgy pixie cut - which she says is a result of her desire to embrace change and become the "new Amy." From there, she delves into the world of makeovers, exploring the ways in which people use cosmetics, fashion, and even plastic surgery to transform their appearances.

Throughout the episode, Amy welcomes a number of guests who are each seeking a makeover in their own way.
