OH MY GOD, Betty has a huge B attached to her jacket. She's sort of narcissistic, isn't she, what with all the Bs everywhere. Hilda tells Betty to go ask him out and Betty runs like a nerd to go find him. Wilhelmina shows up all decked out and Justin is all up in her business. She looks at him as though she's trying to figure out whether to indulge him or mace him. Some lady asks Willie if she's friends with Betty then finds out she's on Betty's roof. Still better than the basement, no?
I could have sworn I saw the bat message in the sky...
Willie gets a pained look on her face until...Connor shows up. Dip him in mole, fast! She looks at him, he looks at her...Daniel sees them both. He tells her she looks beautiful and she says she's done with the charm. She knows he's in bed with Daniel (who isn't?), "So let me be blunt. You start playing for my side or I will reveal things you probably don't want people to know." He wants to go talk with her but then Daniel comes running up like the petulant child he is, snarling, saying he knows all about Connor's meetings with Conde Nasty.
"What the hell happened to our deal?" He asks. "I'm not going to have the two of you conspiring behind my back. I don't care what your contract says, I want you out of here." Just like the editor position. Wilhelmina reminds Daniel of how much it will cost to fire him.
"You won't need to, I'll walk right now. God you two are children!" Maybe they need to be spanked for their naughtiness? Just a thought..."I played your game to get the job but that's where it ends. I took the meeting because you asked me to exercise my judgment which is this: Selling off a couple of magazines makes financial sense, more sense than preserving your father's legacy at any cost." He turns to Wilhelmina.
Which one of you babies needs your diaper changed?
"And you. Whatever you think you've got on me, let it out. I'll tell you what, I'll even help you. Drugs? I've done pretty much everything. Slept with my best friend's wife. Oh here's a great one. My first job at Smith Barney, I overhear two guys in an elevator trading stock tips. I end up losing my shirt and almost going to jail." Oh, he's be worth a lot of cigarettes. He continues to say he turned his life around and is proud of what he's done. If they want to keep him to do this job, fine, he's not picking sides: "I'm nobody's bitch." He goes to get a drink and sleep with someone's wife.
Betty knocks on Jesse's door but he's not there. She hears commotion in her own apartment which is unusual since it's so commotion-free, and you know it is not going to end well. She sees Amanda making out and apologizes for interrupting when she sees who Amanda is with - Jesse. A lead singer with a hot blonde? No way!
I'm so soulful and sensitive...just not to your feelings.
Betty runs out of the apartment and Amanda is like oh, so sorry, I'll leave a bra on the doorknob next time. "You are the worst roommate ever. You are selfish. And insensitive. And I want you out. Just be gone by tomorrow morning," Betty says. I bet she could stay with Jesse.
Back at the party, Connor looks less than cool drinking out of a blue plastic wine glass. Willie comes up to him and apologizes. She says, "I always blackmail people when I get nervous. It's kind of my go-to." My go-to is bourbon, but blackmail probably leaves less of a headache. He smiles at her and she melts faster than I do. She says there aren't a lot of people in the business who are nice and she didn't expect to meet someone who had integrity.
Yes, glass of crow, double.
"Thank you," he says. She tells him that if he decides to stay, she wants to start with a clean Slater. I mean slate. He agrees as long as "I don't have to knuckle-bump with Daniel anymore." I know, right? She reminds him they still have to try that scotch, but something tells me he didn't pour it back in the bottle. "It's a date," he says. Good for Willie! I'm sure he's up for being a baby daddy for Daniel's half-brother.

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
