Self-image and self-consciousness are both major threads in this 365 episode. In one of the film's more poignant moments, Alexa tells how her best pal Erin was there by her side throughout her eating disorder and poor health as a teenager. At the same time, Erin helped put things into perspective.

If Bliss thought she was 'fat and ugly', and she was smaller than Erin, then how did she think that made her friend feel about herself? That's not something Alexa thought about at first. When she heard Erin say those words, it changed everything. Suddenly, she realised she was affecting other people and making them insecure.

That wouldn't do.

There's a fascinating convo between Bliss and Vince that's shown here. You can see a snippet of it by looking at the featured .GIF for this article. McMahon notes that it's "amazing how we do things and we don't even know how we're affecting other people".
