Ep 5. Shallow Boy

In Boy Meets World season 4 episode 5, titled "Shallow Boy," we see Cory Matthews struggling with his insecurities about his looks. He feels that he is not as attractive as other guys, especially his friend Shawn, who he thinks gets all the attention from girls.

Cory's lack of confidence begins to affect his relationship with Topanga, as he starts to feel like he is not good enough for her. He becomes obsessive about his appearance and starts to spend more time at the gym, trying to improve his physique.

Meanwhile, Eric and Jack are having their own problems with women. Eric is still reeling from his breakup with Rachel and is trying to move on by dating a string of girls, all of whom seem to be more interested in his brother Jack. Jack, on the other hand, is struggling to resist his attraction to Rachel, despite her being Eric's ex-girlfriend.

As the episode progresses, we see Cory's obsession with his looks reach new heights. He becomes convinced that he needs to get a nose job to be truly attractive, and even goes as far as scheduling a consultation with a plastic surgeon. However, as he talks to Topanga and his family, he begins to realize that there is more to a person than just their physical appearance.

Eric and Jack also come to some realizations about their own relationships and what they really want. Eric realizes that he is not really interested in all the superficial things that he thought he was, and decides to take a break from dating. Jack, meanwhile, finally admits his feelings to Rachel and the two of them begin a secret relationship.

In the end, Cory decides not to go through with the nose job and learns to love himself for who he is. He realizes that true beauty comes from within and that it is more important to be a good person than to look a certain way. The episode ends with Cory and Topanga reaffirming their love for each other and Eric and Jack mending their friendship.
