Chapter 48: The society looks at you - superficial.
Matt Donaghy is no longer "a ghost" in Rocky River High School, he is accepted again. Communication with him is no longer damaging the reputation.
This chapter shows how "real" his friends are (or better: how "unreal" they are). All the trouble is over and people are recognizing him as Matt Donaghy, the nice and friendly pupil, again. Ursula is elucidating what's happening. All the pupil are teached by their parents, teached to live with the pursuit of reputation. - They are educated to be phony.
At the top of that Matt is ordering his priorities. When some classmates ask him to come to their party, Matt only wants to go when Ursula is allowed to come with him. This shows that Matt is doing a great job as the male side of the relationship between Ursula and him.

Chapter 47: "[...] and the mask fell off [...]" (p. 242, l. 14 - The metropolitan)
Put Ursula in a mixture of relieve, joy and love. Wait some weeks and the soft inside will turn out. After that you can watch how happy the new Ursula is feeling after taking a try of this reciept.
Change - this is the way Ursula fortifies her happyness. She even cuts her hair, which can be seen as the graphically demonstration, the drop of her mask "Ugly Girl" as the characteristically demonstration of all the things that changed to and in Ursula. Additionally a new warm, lovely atmosphere is developing, which drowns the old thronging, uncomfortable and gloomy atmosphere out. But as this can't happen through a single chapter, the auther is trying to create the new atmosphere since chapter 43.
