It’s time to look hard and disapprovingly at the bizarre and kinda gross world of teenage plastic surgery, as we dive hard into “Too Cute” in this episode of Morgendorks! When a Lawndale High girl with her eyes set on getting into the Fashion Club goes out and gets work done on her nose, it sets off a fad that sucks Quinn in—and fills her with some of that old high school chestnut: horrendous, world-shattering insecurity.
