S03E05
When Clair explicitly tells Vanessa that she can't wear make-up, Vanessa decides to rebel and secretly applies it anyway. Ignoring her mother's wishes, she experiments with different looks, hoping to express her individuality without Clair finding out. As she navigates her desire for self-expression and the fear of being caught, Vanessa learns about the complexities of trust and independence in her relationship with her mother.
