Filming opens on a makeover reality show as a worried female participant frets she’s “too flawed” to take part. The crew teases that every member has faults, then reveals a bigger problem: beauty director Yu has become afraid of women. Producers point out she’s the only woman he isn’t scared of. On set she hears the blunt reason: Yu doesn’t see her as a woman because she’s “ugly.” The team pushes her to trust the process while she reels from the remark. The episode ends with her confronting that truth and facing whether to stay in the project or leave.
