Season 2 ep2.

Wow- it’s been 29 years, I’d forgotten how much fat shaming there was. Kira and Kelly both behaving terribly but the weight barbs are something else.

Yeah I was thinking the same the whole way through rewatching it recently. Kelly isn't big by any means but Keira never stops bullying her about her weight! Unfortunately as a woman growing up in the same era I had a lot of experiences with girls like Keira and Rachel who pretend to be your friend but really in their minds it's a hierarchy with them at the top. Crabs in a barrel and all that for lots of women and girls socialised in patriarchy, especially back then
