Under the Knife

As Erika continues to struggle, Tia advises Janice that she needs to be replaced. Ligia Rodrigues is called in. Janice advises Erika to study the other models on the shoot and interviews that she still believes in her. Janice calls in the models to meet with Dan Mathews of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. She advises the models that the agency is now "fur-free" and shows them a video illustrating the treatment of animals raised for fur. In support of PETA's "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" campaign, Janice advises the models that they have the chance to participate in a naked protest march. Ligia announces that she will not participate in the march and will continue to wear fur. Several of the models harangue her for her decision but she stands by it. At the march, Brian Kehoe risks arrest by going completely naked. Edward Dada of the Dragonfly clothing line, who had previously shot with the agency, returns seeking models who resemble dead rock stars for a new campaign. New model Maria Bernaldez draws Janice's ire when she speaks to the client. The client selects twelve models. Janice visits Dr. Frank Ryan to have a tummy tuck. Interviewing about her disdain for actresses and models who lie about having surgery, Janice invites Access Hollywood, The Insider and People magazine to cover it. Because she is recovering from her surgery, Janice is unable to be at the Dragonfly shoot. Several of the models are on their first shoot and are disappointed by her absence, but Peter is there in her place. Although Payton struggles briefly with his portrayal of Elvis Presley, overall the shoot goes well. The Sensiclear hopefuls meet with Charles Ber. With Janice still recovering, Nathan is there in her place. CC from the agency and Tom, Megan and Eli Jane from the open call are chosen as the finalists for the campaign. Eli wins the contract to be the "face of Sensiclear" and the other three are booked for the infomercial. Christian Audigier with the Ed Hardy clothing line meets with Janice (who is disobeying doctor's orders) to book models for a trade show in Las Vegas. CC, Desirée, Lakiska, Daria and Lisa Riddle book the job for the women. Maria is disgruntled at not booking another job. As Christian is about to announce his picks among the men, Peter bursts in to announce that two of his likely picks, J. P. and Dominic, are already committed to 2(x)ist.
