directed by Jessie Kahnweiler.
The Skinny is an R29 original dark comedy series that follows feminist wannabe YouTube star Jessie (Jessie Kahnweiler) as she explores love, life, and friendship in L.A. — while struggling with bulimia.
In this episode, Jessie and her mother attempt to spend a relaxing weekend together eating kale, doing aura cleanings, and disconnecting from their cell phones at a pseudo fat-camp day spa. As Jacqueline attempts to reconnect with her daughter, Jessie is still reeling from her mother's decision to house ex-boyfriend Cole post-rehab.
In an effort to be more supportive, Jacqueline sets up a screener for the women at the spa to view Jessie's talents on a big screen — which ultimately causes Jessie to question the levity behind her YouTube persona.
