Time to go to Mexico! Ole! The entire Suarez family is packed and ready to go off to the land of cheap lobster, mas margaritas and sunburns. And of course, the land of visas that will keep Ignacio in America.
But Betty's having a hard time getting the family out the door. Hilda is stressed about leaving, because she isn't ready for her upcoming wedding. Betty's suggestion that she find her wedding dress in Mexico doesn't go over well. I think Betty's confusing Mexico's reputation as a good place to buy cheap drugs with a good place to buy wedding dresses.
But then the phone rings, and suddenly Henry is leaving a message, wishing Betty a good trip. I would be more excited if he was asking her to go to Make Out City with him. I bet Betty could get a visa for that pronto. But Betty doesn't pick up, and tells Hilda that Henry has a girlfriend and if it was "meant to be, it wouldn't be this hard." Then she deletes the message from the answering machine.
Over at Mode, Daniel is trying to run a meeting while high on his anti-sex drugs. Say what you will, the drugs do seem to be working - he might be high as a kite, but at least he's not sleeping with anyone in the office. Life is a series of trade-offs, people.
But being high has other side-effects - like making ridiculous suggestions. Alexis and Daniel end up in a tiff and Wil tries to move the meeting along by announcing that she's secured Jordan Dunn for the upcoming Fearless Women issue. The feature will be called "The Daredevil Wears Prada", as Jordan is the kind of woman who hang glides, ice climbs and swims the English Channel in a leather bikini. I hate those women. I prefer the kind of woman who takes a glance at the English Channel and then goes to get crumpets and gossip about the Queen's corgis.
Alexis very emphatically doesn't want Jordan in the magazine. Without explaining why, she declares the meeting over and walks out. Daniel explains to a bewildered Wil that Jordan was Alexis's girlfriend "before he became a she", and they haven't seen each other since. Daniel is excited to see the tension between Alexis and Jordan, and wants a high five from Wil and Marc. Apparently being high turns Daniel into that pervy doctor on "Scrubs." I mean, high fives?! What kind of fraternity is this?
Later, Wil reviews a rack of Tavares's designs. She likes them, but declares that the coconut buttons he used on the blazer are a disaster. She tells him to fix it by tomorrow night and leaves. Amanda explains that Wil will be bringing all the New York buyers to his studio the next night.
Amanda is ready to get romantique, but Tavares reminds her that they need to keep their distance in public. Amanda is bummed - "I finally got a hot boyfriend and I can't even use it to make all the other sluts feel bad about themselves." I once overheard Katie Holmes say the same thing.
On the plane, Betty is quizzing Ignacio about their family tree. But when she asks about their mother's family, Ignacio gets upset and tells her that he didn't really know them. When Hilda asks if no one knows that he killed their mother's husband, Ignacio sushes them. Then Betty notices that she's missing one of her earrings. But given that one plastic earring says "Buenos" and the other says "Dias", no one should be sad that they're gone.
And where is Justin on this flight? Back in Coach class, singing tunes from West Side Story? Nope, he's missing. But you're not supposed to notice that.
Meanwhile, Bradford confesses to Wil that he hasn't signed his divorce papers. He reminisces about the days when young "Brad Meade" first met Claire and felt that he could do anything. Wil assures him that he still can, and tells him to shake things up - get a new look, buy a new car, and come to a party with her downtown. Is that what people named Brad do? Go through a belated mid-life crisis? All he's missing is an earring and a skateboard.
At a party in Mexico (which looks remarkably like the San Fernando Valley), Betty's using her broken Spanish to try to talk to her relatives. Except her Spanish is so bad that she mistakenly tells them that she's pregnant. Too bad she lost that other earring - she could have used it to help with translation... What comes after "buenos" again? Hmm....
