Flo refuses to get glasses even though she needs them.
Storyline[]
Flo has been acting strange, first she writes an order up wrong and then she is late for a date. Alice tries to gently break the news that she may need glasses. However, Flo's vanity keeps her from getting the eyeglasses she obviously needs. When she does finally agree to a pair, her confidence is shattered and she is thrown into a depression when her boyfriend J.W. announces he is married, but she can only believe his breakup is due to her glasses.
