The show opens mid-chaos: Hannah just woke up from a nap, her mouth is sore from a Botox injection that went wrong, and Paige is warming her up with tongue twisters. Hannah launches into a declaration that has already taken on a life of its own: soft smile summer. She's becoming an ice queen, she explains — she doesn't smile at anyone, nothing is funny. [1] — Hannah Berner "I declare it right now, it's soft smile summer. I've changed who I am. I'm an ice queen. I don't smile at anyone, I don't laugh at anyone, …" 03:14 The comments on YouTube are flooding in; many are calling her Keira Knightley, which stings more than she expected. Paige's role in all of this, it turns out, is to be maximally unhelpful: she didn't respond to Hannah's selfie, then told her 'thanks for ruining my night' when Hannah self-deprecated. A wide range of followers have shared recovery timelines ranging from 3 weeks to 10 months, adding to Hannah's anxiety.
Hannah declared 'soft smile summer' after a Botox injection left her unable to smile or show full facial expression.
Hannah Berner's Botox injection locked her jaw and turned her into an involuntary ice queen. Rather than hide it, she coined the season's defining motto: 'soft smile summer.'
Hannah received a range of recovery timelines from followers — some said 3 weeks, others reported it lasting up to 10 months.
Hannah's last Botox appointment before this incident was in October, meaning the current episode is roughly 8 months later.
