"He's so cool. Hiring him was the smarted thing I've ever done," Daniel says. Betty reminds him it probably won't be so cool when Wilhelmina finds out he tricked her to get Connor hired. "I need as many people as possible on Team Daniel, plus we needed someone to run the financial arm of this company." Yes, because God forbid your dad would have thought about that before he sperminated. Daniel mentions Connor was on the crew team and got a lot of tail while at Harvard. Suddenly I get the feeling Connor is now gay, don't ask me why.
All the woman are digging into the Krispy Konnor goodness and licking their fingers as Wilhelmina spats, "This is why I hate women, Marc, they're weak." I hate them because that's how it works, we all talk sisterhood then stab each other in the back. Don't mess with thousands of years of devolution, Willie. Her goal is to get Connor to begin to agree with her so she can keep him in her pocket, which is when we cut to Connor saying he agrees with Daniel and Wilhelmina throwing a hissy fit (and her hands in the air), and saying, "AGAIN?!"
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS ISN'T BUTTER!
Connor tells her doing a photo shoot in the Caribbean makes more financial sense (take me with you!) and that there isn't enough money to fund what she wants. She demands he finds the money which is funny because that never seems to work at work for me either. Connor stands (yay! More ass!) and says he needs to be blunt, "Meade owns too many magazines." I say cut Player if for no other reason than I'm sure Jimmy Kimmel will buy it.
I'm f*#$ing Player magazine!
Wilhelmina is all about dumping a few titles to get her moolah and Daniel disagrees. "We are not selling off a single magazine. They are part of my father's legacy," Daniel says. Well, so is an alcoholic wife, a dead mistress, a playboy son (that's you, Daniel) and a murderous tranny son who tried to ruin his father, so you might want to be careful about talking about legacies, Danny boy. Connor agrees with Daniel, again.
Wilhelmina's no dummy. "What the hell is going on here? Why are you two so chummy?" she demands.
"I think what's going on Wilhelmina, is you got played," Daniel says. Should learn by now he should keep a secret, but this will be more fun, I'm sure. "Why don't you try one of Connor's doughnuts, they're really good." I bet his munchkins aren't bad either.
Back at Betty's apartment, she says she has chips and dip and carrot sticks in case "he's that guy." He is, Betty, he is. "Should I light candles, or is that too much?" she asks Hilda who is clearly taking a well-earned vacation day. Betty, Glade candles would be okay, tapers in a candelabra would not be. Hilda says Betty's crushing hard. Oh, it will be a hard and painful crush, I just know it. "How do I know he'll like me?" Hilda reminds Betty that Henry and Gio were crazy about her. That's right, Betty, 3, Crabby, zero. Thanks ABC.
Either Mary Tyler Moore or Maude, take your pick.
Justin says, "It's not that I don't love what you're wearing now, it's very you," (pause), "but uh, maybe tonight we could go a little simpler." Justin, you are a stylish little wood nymph. Betty will have none of it and thanks them by shooing them unceremoniously out the door. The doorbell rings and she checks herself in the mirror with the big B on it. Unfortunately, it's not Jesse, it's Amanda and her hairless cat-dog who have come to live with Betty because she's a doormat. And, because it turns out Amanda has no friends and no, she doesn't want to ruin her friendship with Marc by living with him. It's a win-win-lose situation for everyone.
Betty stops by Jesse's apartment to tell him she has to "cancel" that evening with him (to which he looks sort of confused - was there a plan or was it in Betty's little head?). He says he wouldn't have been very good company anyway since he band just lost a gig to another band, Buffalo Hump. You kids and your music nowadays. Doesn't anyone listen to the accordion anymore?

omg, I don't watch this show, but I LOVE the intro you wrote for it. Because I totally went through a phase of dating (and getting dumped by) sensitive-rocker-wannabe-guitar guy!
Sigh.
Anyway, that just really made me laugh out loud. xoxo
