Annie's journey of self-discovery continues in season 1 episode 3 of Shrill, titled "Pencil". After a disappointing encounter with her ex-boyfriend, Ryan, at a local coffee shop, Annie decides to take control of her life and pursue her dreams. She aspires to become a journalist and is thrilled when she lands an interview with a renowned writer, Alison Wilkes.

Meanwhile, Annie's boss, Gabe, is pressuring her to write a controversial article about a fitness instructor who preaches body positivity but seems to be promoting dangerous weight-loss methods. Annie's inner conflict is further heightened when she meets the fitness instructor in question, who seems genuinely passionate about her message.

As Annie delves deeper into her career aspirations, she confronts a harsh reality: the industry is not kind to plus-size women. She experiences discrimination and belittlement from colleagues, but refuses to back down.

On the personal front, Annie's friends, Fran and Amadi, encourage her to go on a date with a guy named Dave, who seems like a great match for her. However, Annie is hesitant to put herself out there, worried that she's not enough for someone else. Throughout the episode, she struggles with feelings of insecurity, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome.

At the heart of "Pencil" is a theme of self-acceptance and self-love. Annie learns to stand up for herself, both professionally and personally. She grapples with difficult decisions, but ultimately embraces her true self and refuses to let anyone else define her worth.

The episode is a powerful portrayal of the challenges faced by plus-size women in the media industry, and the importance of representation and diversity. It's a moving and relatable story that showcases the talent and nuance of the show's cast and crew.
