Line 6:
Now feeling genuinely ashamed, Penny offers to give Karen a no-strings-attached makeover and spends weeks helping her lose weight, teaching her beauty and grooming tips, and having her replace her thick glasses with laser eye surgery. Karen has transformed into a beauty, but is still lacking in confidence. Impressed with Aggie's ability to stand up to Penny while shrugging off her insults, Karen secretly approaches her for an attitude makeover. In the end, the rival "consultants" succeed rather too well: the now-popular Karen ditches both of them, saying she's not inviting people who knew the "old" her to her party. Unsurprisingly, Penny and Aggie blame each other for what Karen has become.
 
{{tropelist|page=The Mockingbird}}
=== Tropes ===
* [[Arc Words]]: "Pretty people get to say what they want," at arc's beginning, before Karen's makeover; "Pretty people get to do what they want!" at arc's end, post-makeover. The latter sentence recurs once more toward the end of "The Popsicle War," upon {{spoiler|Karen's social downfall}}.
* [[Beautiful All Along]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]]. The makeover reveals Karen's outer beauty...and inner ugliness.
