This classic season 2 episode takes place in some alternate universe. The plot revolves around Janet Tyler’s numerous failed plastic surgeries to make her look “normal”. The story takes the typical Twilight Zone turn when the bandages on her face come off and what “normal” actually looks like is revealed.
Janet is a beautiful blond while her surgeons look like grotesque monsters. However, ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ look is the norm in this society. After the final procedure fails, she is exiled to a colony to be with others who look like her.
Plastic surgery has been controversial and more controversial when it doesn’t produce the desired results. Although being sent to a colony isn’t one of them, there can be many consequences to having plastic surgery.
