Rachel looks determined but slightly disheveled, still recovering from the waxing.

RACHEL: "There were some tenacious little buggers, but I showed them!"

Tuna holds up the directions sheet from the waxing kit, looking concerned.

TUNA: "Uhhh, it says here you should only do one pass per waxing."

Rachel looks horrified, clawing at her face in dismay.

RACHEL: "Why oh why didn't I read all the directions?? Nooooooo!!"

Tuna suggests trying on the swimsuit to see if the damage is visible.

TUNA: "Maybe it'll look okay with the suit on? Try it with the bottom."

Text reads: "Soon..."

Rachel stands wearing her "BORN SHINTO" t-shirt with floral bikini bottoms. The bruising is clearly visible on her thighs. Tuna observes from below.

TUNA: "Those bruises aren't going to magically disappear overnight, girl."

RACHEL: "What am I going to wear to the water park?"

“Redheads are bruisers.” To this day I can’t figure out how not to maul myself in the process of waxing. There’s always an ingrown hair down the line that insists on ugly-ing it up.

There is no justice for girl-burns.
