In this episode, 13-year-olds Maya and Anna have to sign up for a community service project. They land spots in a nursing home fashion show organized by a classmate's mother. The plot takes a sharp turn into middle school rebellion when the girls steal a classmate's thong.

The episode masterfully exposes the arbitrary objects teenagers use to manufacture self-esteem. The thong serves as a hilarious, slightly gross symbol of transitioning from childhood innocence to forced adult sexuality.
