Season 2, Episode 6 Original air date: November 11, 1960 Janet Tyler (played by Donna Douglas) has spent her life as an outcast in a state that despises her because of her ugliness. She has undergone her eleventh treatment (the maximum number legally allowed) in an attempt to look like everybody else. When we first meet Tyler, her face is completely bandaged up and we ultimately find out that her latest surgery has been a failure. The ending: When the bandages are peeled off, her repulsive ugliness remains. The reaction of the doctor and nurses is horror and dissatisfaction. The procedure has failed, and her face has undergone "no changeno change at all". The camera pulls back to reveal that she is actually beautiful. At this point, the doctor, nurses and other people in the hospital are revealed to be horribly deformed, with faces that look like they've been smashed in by a brick. Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder.
