While helping Vannessa Cross pick out clothes, he admitted that shopping was one of his least favorite activities. He revealed his insecurity and claimed that he was the biggest person in the store. However, Vannessa didn't help with his insecurity and fueled it further by asking him to try out smaller clothes.
Although she wanted to be supportive, she asked Scott to wear a winter puffer of 2X size. The jacket didn't fit him and the whole situation leaves Scott feeling incredibly embarrassed and insecure.
