Daniel says he told Connor that not everything had to be run by him. "Be careful, Daniel, this is a pattern with you. Whenever you admire someone you tend to give your power away," Claire says, ironically fulfilling her own power of being passively-aggressively loving. "Just like you did with your brother." Oh, burn, Claire...except, where's powerful Alexis now? Living in exile in France? And by the way, I did hear that the show has officially cut Rebecca Romijn out of the show which is sort of a bummer, but maybe she didn't want to come back what with her twin girls due like in the next 20 minutes. I hear kids put things into perspective. I try to be drunk around them to put up with their shit, so my perspective is somewhat blurred.
Daniel says he hired Connor because he's the best and he trusts him. His mother says, "Good, then I guess you aren't worried that he and Wilhelmina are meeting tonight? Privately." Privately worried or they are meeting privately? Watch your modifiers, passive-aggressivo. "Did you not know that?" Claire, of course he didn't, you brought it up to poke him. Go back to drinking. "You see, I make it a point to know everything Wilhelmina Slater is up to. And if they're meeting...alone...I don't like it." Again, Harvard my ass! I'm going to have t-shirts made.
AAAAAAAAACK! Oh my God, Betty has put together the worst invite ever. First of all, it includes rainbow colors, second and much more egregious in my opinion, her face is on it! Even in all my dorkiness I never put my face on any invitations I've sent out. "It looks like a flyer for a rodeo at a women's prison," Amanda says. Amen. Best triple-dog dares her to come up with a better one, which she does immediately and as a marketer, I'm impressed! The invite reads: "the roof. Friday. get on the list." They are going to be packed and the roof will cave in. The end!
Betty doesn't get it because it doesn't have a who/what/where/when/what party favors to bring, so Amanda has to explain to her how cool things work. You can see Betty still no comprendo, but within minutes people all over Mode are texting and IMing to figure out what it's all about and 300 people are signed up. And we all thought Amanda was just pretty.
Admit it, you want to go.
Later that evening in Wilhelmina's lair, she's telling Connor that she wants to get to know him better and judging by the provocatively open-legged way he's sitting (good one, director!), he's all over that idea. She is talking to him and he says, "Just how bad is that headache?" and we all notice she's got Excedrin written all over it. "You've been doing that," he says, making the rubbing head motion, "a lot."
There's the money shot!
"It's been quite a day," she says, smiling. Aw, someone cares about her. No wonder he's all the rage!
"I can get rid of that for you," he says. And when you're done stop by my house, I think I have a migraine, baby!
That's a load of rich creamery butter...slathered on Connor!
"No thank you, that's what drugs are for," she says. No, drugs are for kids to knock them out so you can get some peace and quiet! He reaches for her hand and begins to rub it, saying, "I'm better for your liver." Liver be damned, get over her now! He tells her she gets the headaches because she has too many ideas each day and not enough time to get them out. I usually just get them because people bug the shit out of me each day, and there isn't enough time to kill them, plus, you know, my manicure would get ruined.
The magic touch. He should bottle it!
He goes on to say who would Wilhelmina tell her ideas to when she really can only depend on herself? She looks intrigued. "I get headaches too," he says. They have bonded! With the common denominator of headaches. I bet that's one of the Match.com questions. What do you know? Her headache is gone.
He stands up very closely to her recommending they continue their talk. Damn, he is good. "Now my guess is a woman such as yourself has a bottle of '61 single-malt scotch floating around the place somewhere," he says. She motions to her credenza with her eyes and says, " '48." He tells her older is better and she says she wouldn't know since she's been the same age for years. Yeah, 666, but let's keep that under wraps for right now.

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
