He pours them each a glass and tells her he came to Meade because of her and that he could learn a lot from her. She takes the glass from his hand, touching it as "Let's Get It On," begins to play and I laugh so hard my dogs wake up yet again. They hate that part of Thursday nights. Willie and Connor gaze longingly at each other and he goes in for the kiss! Okay, I have to tell you I thought this was awesome for both of them! And we needed some non-Brillo love, if you don't mind me saying (sorry Betty). My only concern? There are windows everywhere in that office and certainly someone is going to see this.

Did you have a doughnut this morning?


"Are you okay? You seem distracted," Connor says, jamming our heads back into reality. It was a daydream! Son of a bitch!

Wilhelmina stutters that she just remembered she had a dinner date and she doesn't want to be late. She'll reschedule their meeting. Connor looks confused but buddy, you've got two drinks of single malt scotch to yourself. Drink up and GET OVER HERE ALREADY. Let me Google-map it for you.

Sorry, George, it's over between us.
It's not you, it's me. Except it's Connor.

Casa Suarez is in turmoil because now Papi has to cook enchiladas and mole for 300 people. Betty is worried because she can't afford this party, but dumbass, it's a Mode after-party, not a Betty-after party. No one wants to attend that. Hilda recommends sangria - cheap wine, old fruit, a box of sugar. "People don't care, they'll get drunk," she says. Hilda, you are one ounce shy of true klass.

Their theme? South of the border! They'll use the decorations from Betty's 15th birthday party (yes, I know what the hell a quinciera is, people), although it's very sad they've kept those decorations for almost 10 years, isn't it? "Mexican stuff is so kitschy," Justin says, followed by, "What? It's my heritage," when he gets the evil eye from Papi and Hilda.

Marc is waiting for Wilhelmina in her office and when she walks in, wants to know if she made Connor cry. No, but I bet if she had stayed she could have! "Do I need to offer him a comforting hug?" Marc hopes. Instead, Willie says she didn't use the dirt he dug up on Connor and that Marc should just do as she says and not ask any questions. See what happens when you don't get good sex? Your mood sucks.

Heeee, heee, heee, heee, I hope
Gloria Steinem isn't watching, heee...wait, am I channelling ugly?

Connor stops by to tell her he'll be out most of the day and wonders how her dinner party was last night. She says "fun" and "delightful" and Marc is completely confused. "You didn't have a dinner last night. You don't even eat dinner....(gasp) OH MY GOD YOU LIKE HIM!" Marc is almost in convulsions. She denies it because she doesn't want to be seen like those other women (a.k.a. me). She had a momentary lapse in judgment but now her ambition is back. She plans to use her evil for evil tonight at the party.

Marc bumps into Cliff at the office and of course Cliff wants to talk. He is not amused. He wants to know why moving in is such a big deal and Marc says, "It's just big," and I have to agree with him here. He says it's like deciding to get a kid, "How do you know it's the right time or what kind to get? Do you go Russian or Chinese, or stay local and go South American." Is he talking kids or food? "And what if you are wrong and it clashes with your furniture?" Again, food or kid? Because...really? Both would work here. Unfortunately, neither is what Cliff was looking for and he leaves, forlorn, which isn't a hard look considering how he normally looks.

MandaMo:

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

dearcrabby:

MandaMo - thanks for reading. I went through that phase too (college band, sigh) but he wouldn't dump his girlfriend for me, wahhh!Of course, he was the bass player, so what kind of dork was I? :)
