Skin Deep

Overview

Lavinia takes Angela with her to the beauty salon for a complete makeover . Angela is reluctant, but agrees to go if Old Tom can come, too. At the salon, they are greeted by the temperamental owner, Istvan, who mistakes Old Tom for a particularly hairy customer and tries to give him a beauty treatment. In Old Tom's struggle to escape, Istvan ends up bald instead, and chases Old Tom furiously around the salon. Old Tom hides in Lavinia's room, where he is mistaken for a beautician, and told by Lavinia to begin her 'full treatment' immediately. Old Tom gleefully obliges, using whatever odds and ends he can find. Istvan bursts in just as Old Tom is finishing. Lavinia looks bizarre, but she likes her new look and thanks Istvan, who can only smile and take the credit.
