There's one story line in particular that spanned from 5.01 to 5.02: Ted's fashion transformation & makeover. How ridiculous it was of him to get plastic surgery, but it made for an interesting arc.

"Ted! You look fabulous!" Strangely enough he did look different ~ although that was the self-confidence more than anything else!!

He wouldn't be Brian Kinney if he didn't!!

Interesting though how quickly the guys started to hit on Teddy! Again and again and again!

I think that was not a result of the plastic surgery, but that repressed confidant warrior that was always inside him.

Absolutely! The boys were right that he didn't actually look any different, but Teddy's own perception of himself was totally transformative! ...

.. even to the point where he felt super confident in going after Brandon!!!

If surgery's what it took for him to finally love and accept himself for who he is, then more power to him. I actually think, metaphorically speaking anyways, that surgery he underwent represented not so much the physical altering of his appearance, but the much-needed repair of his self esteem.

In that case, he was even more beautiful than before.

.. but rewind a bit to the lesbian who wanted to take care of him when he was all puffy .. and mistook him for another lesbian who had been beaten (by Emmett ~ please!!!! ) !!!! That must have been the final nail in his dejected coffin at that point!

OMG!!! Pure comedy! Oh how Emmett looked like he wantedto jump out of his skin running away screaming when that same lesbian stared at him for too long. He was waaay out of his comfort zone, that's for sure.
