Ep 5. The Zit

Angela is experiencing a major dilemma at school, which is causing her great distress: a large and very visible pimple has appeared on her face, and everybody seems to be noticing it. She keeps hearing whispers and seeing people staring at her, and every time she turns to look at someone, they quickly look away. She's convinced that it's the only thing people can see when they look at her, and she feels very insecure and self-conscious.

To make things worse, Angela's mother is throwing a dinner party that evening, and she insists that Angela attend. Although Angela protests and tries to make excuses, her mother is adamant that she needs to be there, and she won't take no for an answer. Angela is mortified at the thought of being seen in public with her zit, and she feels like everything is going from bad to worse.

At school, Angela can't concentrate on anything, and even her best friend Rayanne can't seem to calm her down. She's convinced that she's going to be the subject of ridicule and gossip for weeks to come, and she can't bear the thought of it. Her classmates seem to be just as confused and nervous around her, and nobody knows what to say.

As the day progresses, however, Angela starts to realize that maybe her zit isn't the end of the world after all. She remembers how much she loved spending time with Jordan Catalano the previous weekend, and she thinks about how their focus was on each other, not on her pimple. Maybe there are more important things in life than looking perfect all the time.

The dinner party at Angela's house is a complete disaster, but not because of Angela's zit. Her parents are fighting, the guests are all arguing, and everyone is on edge. Angela is relieved to see that nobody seems to be staring at her anymore, and she's able to relax a little bit. Throughout the evening, she has some deep conversations with different people, including her mother and her father's friend, and she starts to realize that everyone has their own issues to deal with. Her zit is just a temporary inconvenience, and it doesn't define who she is as a person.

In the end, Angela's zit does finally disappear, but it's not because of any magical cure or secret remedy. It fades away naturally, as all things do. Angela has learned a valuable lesson about the importance of self-worth and resilience, and she feels stronger and more confident than ever before. As she reflects on the events of the past few days, she realizes that she can handle anything that comes her way, even if it's just a zit. The world won't end just because of a little imperfection.
