Sacha and Dom performed a tummy tuck on Lisa six months ago, and Dom thinks she's faking her stomach pains to bag herself a repeat operation – and tells her as much! As Dom apologises, Lisa confides in him that she keeps having all these surgeries in the hope that people will be treat her differently.
Sacha and Dom perform a further tummy tuck, but when they find a surgical ruler inside Lisa, seemingly from the original op, she threatens to sue! Dom fears that, without his job, he'll struggle to get over Isaac's abuse. Seeing what lengths Lisa will go to in order to feel good about herself, will Dom take drastic action to boost his own self-esteem?
