Daniel sits up all panicked. "How about a massage," she says while she rubs his shoulders. "Just let Betty take care of everything. Mmmm, you smell so good Daniel, like muscles (pew!) and power (yay!)." She throws him back on the...sofa? and says "I want you" and goes in for a kiss.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!
"No!" Daniel says suddenly, scaring everyone else who is apparently paying attention to the meeting they are having. Geez, hope he was able to keep that sex dream a secret, if you know what I mean. Someone hand him an 8th grade math book quick! Betty covers for him, asking for new layout ideas in an hour. Who died and made her editor?
"Did I really fall asleep in the middle of a meeting?" Like that's the first time. "You just need some rest," she says, closing the curtains. He freaks and tells her he's wide awake and to leave the shades open. They're curtains. Thank God you're not running Metropolitan Home magazine.
Daniel, now that we're alone, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about...it's a little personal." This is it. She's going for it! But Daniel runs out of his office.
How most of Crabby's dates end
Back at Willie's place, where she and Marc are planning on keeping Dr. Remus on speed dial. "So sad Gucci doesn't make straight jackets."
"I get no joy from this, Marc." Liar! This is what feeds you and keeps you alive. This and the blood of unicorns.
"Well, at least you aren't the one who committed mur - " Marc begins and Willie gasps.
"Marc, you need to be careful when discussing Renee and the M word!"
"Since the coast is clear, can I say it once? Murderrrrr." And their voices carry 'til Tuesday. Or at least to Christina's room via the vent. She then overhears Willie telling Marc to get the lock on her armoire changed, just in case.
Do I hear far-off bagpipes, or is that just hagpipe Marc?
Back at Mode, Sir Snooze-a-Lot is accosted by his sister in a tragic Salem Witch Trial outfit from the '80s saying, "Did I hear right, you fell asleep during a meeting?"
Daniel, my flying monkeys didn't return home last night!
She is worried because they have a meeting coming up with some high-maintenance designer from Project Runway who they want in their magazine. I'm so not interested, I'm not looking him up on IMDB and I'm not muting the TV so I can get closed caption to spell his name correctly. People, The Crab hates crossover shows (think sweeps week), especially when people play themselves. I saw the commercials and this person is at 14:30 minutes on the Warhol clock and counting.
Alexis tells Daniel his is all linty (because he was pulling stuff from the Mode dryer in the super-secret laundry room?) and out of nowhere pops Betty with a lint roller. She starts rolling him and he gets all twitchy. You know, maybe he's in love with her? "So Daniel, that thing I wanted to ask you about earlier? It's about Renee." Then she knees down and starts rolling his legs...awkward position there, Betty. Hope Henry doesn't see that, he'll flip out. "How much do you really know about Renee?" she asks, getting too close to Little Daniel. Daniel jumps back.
"How's Henry?" he asks. Betty tells him she doesn't get to see him a lot because of the workload this week.
"It's like you're my boyfriend now," she says. Daniel twitches. So he goes to the best person for advice on such matters, Amanda, who is voguing in front of a mirror wearing the sheer version of Alexis's witch outfit and sporting a Shirley Temple do. He asks her what she would do if someone had a crush on her and it started affecting her work. His first mistake: Thinking she works.
Daniel, have I told you about my new clan of flying monkeys?
"Oh my God, I knew it. Someone has a crush on me. Is it Nick Pepper? Because he's been acting really weird since we made out that time." Daniel has to explain it's not always about her. It's always about him.
"I'm talking about Betty."
"You think Betty has a crush on you?" Even Amanda is smart enough to know better. "Although she is on the rocks with that hot accountant of hers. I heard they were fighting this morning. Yawn, more baby mama drama. I guess the girl he got all preg-nasty is waiting around to pop it out. So now triple chins is into you." And the award for best comment this episode goes to Amanda. Excellent work.
"What am I going to do?"

Good recall, Crabby, maybe too good. 11 pages to do one episode of Ugly Betty? You wrote down all the lines in the dialog. Too much information! Your earnestness wins you a hearty thank you, but I found myself skipping through after page 3. Brevity, my friend, brevity!

Thanks for recapping, Crabby (with Cancer as my star sign, I love the nickname). Talma is right, though...the recap is quite long.

I hope you keep the recaps, though - just in case I stop watching the show, which nis becoming more and more likely as the show does on. F'ing Charlie. I promise to look the other way if you wanna go back to hitting pregnant women just this once.
