Episode #19
"Hard on the Outside, Soft in the Middle"
Written by Ryan Murphy
Original Air Date: 4/27/00
Lily takes up her latest cause...saving the life of an
imprisoned lobster she's named Eddie from a local
restaurant. She has saved her allowance to buy
Eddie, but is appalled to find upon her arrival at
the restaurant to rescue him that Mary Cherry has
eaten Eddie. It seems the owner of the restaurant,
Caesar Croutons, has given Mary Cherry
preferential treatment because she is blonde.
Meanwhile, when Sam gets a worse grade than
Brooke because Brooke's paper looks "prettier,"
the alternative kids vow to prove a point about the
unfairness of what Miss Glass calls Natural
Selection.
As a test, the "alts" decide to go blonde and see if
their lives change. Unimpressed, the popular kids
then all go brunette to prove that hair color has
nothing to do with the special treatment they
receive. As always, strangeness infuses as the kids
from Kennedy High School experience life on the
other side.
Meanwhile, Principal Hall asks Harrison to act as
translator for an exotic new exchange student
from China named Exquisite Woo, who ends up
falling for Sugar Daddy. Sugar, naturally, falls hard
in return.
Going up?
