Part 4/7:
Disheartened, Stacy returns home to Keith, who expresses concern for her welfare due to her now-bruised appearance. Yet, consumed by her desire to feel attractive, Stacy becomes defensive, creating a chasm between their emotional connection. This sense of isolation deepens when she finds herself drawn into the obsession of the lotion advertised on TV, spearheaded by a charismatic yet disturbing figure, Harry.
Despite the warnings from Keith, who watches helplessly as Stacy spirals deeper into her fixation, she orders more lotion, convinced it will transform her life. Each application amplifies her obsession, leading to horrifying changes in her skin—transformations that she ironically finds exhilarating rather than terrifying.
