Further details

After a thoughtless and cruel comment from an ex-boyfriend, Mimi has to face up to her darkest personal issue - years of seemingly irreversible weight gain. Carl's furious when Ian starts dating his teacher - not because it's morally wrong, but because it's making him teacher's pet and ruining his chances with the school dick magnet.
