Alexis tells her to put her ego aside because her issue clearly needs help. Ego aside? We don't have that kind of time or manpower! "Where's the 'Mode Girl on Madison' feature?" Alexis asks. Willie replies, "Who cares what the average girls wear on the street? We shouldn't be taking their pictures, we should be throwing rocks at them!" Stoning is such a GlamourDon't, Willie, unless it's Glamour-Afghanistan!
"Our readers like it," Alexis protests.
"Our readers like what I tell them to like," Willie responds. Oh, Willie, look around. That didn't work for Moses, either.
Willie is pissed and realizes that Betty, not Daniel, is the force to be reckoned with. Way to catch up, Willie, it is season 3. "She's trying to get Daniel back in here...she's the problem!" You know Marc is up for the task.
At Player, Betty is about to gorge herself on what I can only imagine is a cold and gelatinous burrito when Marc whacks it out of her hand. "No burrito for you!" he yells, forgetting to add, "One year!" He tells her she has a lunch date...with Wilhelmina! Betty gives him a funny look and is once again gullible enough to go. Betty? Find the word "No" in your vocabulary. Perhaps you can check it out at the library while looking for a permanent one.
DENIED!
At lunch, Willie says, "Look at us, two women of color out for a fancy lunch." Yes, the Obama-Bahama tan is doing you both justice. "Isn't this fun...girlfriend?" Did they teach that phrase in finishing school? "And that blouse is heaven," Willie says, and you know the vomit is just at the back of her throat. "Where did you get it?" Probably the Jackson Pollack resale shop.
"No you don't," Betty finally says.
"No, I don't, it's hideous," Willie says. "Like driving through Ohio." Funny, we Ohioans say that about Indiana. Mostly because it's more true there. "Let's cut to the chase, Betty, I need you." See, this is where Betty should excuse herself to go to the restroom, and sneak out the bathroom window like most of my first dates do. It's just less embarrassing that way. Willie gives her this crap about Daniel's files and how Marc can't make heads or tails of them, and I'm thinking the first thing she did when she was back at Mode was erase any trace of Daniel and Betty, including spraying the place non-stop with Febreeze.
Willie finally out and out offers Betty a job working for her, which is one of the signs of the apocalypse. Betty should know after everything she's been through, and Christina's been through, that Willie is just plain evil. I mean, I love her, but I would never turn my back on her unless I had just stolen her Manolos and had to get away quickly. Betty does not want to leave Daniel and she doesn't trust Willie. "I would never ask you to do anything wrong, ugly, or morally suspect. That's what I have Marc for." And he does it so well. "Don't throw your career away at Player." Well, she's got you there.
At Chez Suarez, they are making dinner and discussing the small raise Betty would receive if she went to the dark side. Betty, when it comes to money, we all live on the dark side. Betty doesn't want to sell out Daniel to pay her rent. Justin, in a pink v-neck t-shirt (ew!) and gold cross begs her to go back to Mode because, "Player gets me nothing." There has been a dearth of good swag in the Suarez casa lately.
Hilda then hits up Betty for a Player magazine signed by a sports team for the school auction. Because nothing says raising money more than a magazine that degrades women signed by the athletes who cheat on them. Whatever happened to bake sales? By the way, Betty has an enormous butterfly belt on and orange socks with heels. Aye-yay-yay! Betty, you are modelling yourself after Claire Meade. Is that the sober Claire or inebriated? Because really?
Seriously, what the hell is going on with her outfit?
Betty says she felt like she was cheating on Daniel by talking to Wilhelmina. Hilda freaks because of her own cheatin' ways. Betty says she needs to talk to Daniel before it gets back to him...which you know it will via Wilhelmina...

Another FINE recap - and a good episode! (I may give minor demerits for anti-GOP bias).
"Betty, I think I'd like to go back to
having Marc do my collagen injections." - LOL Brilliant screencap
In real life, Hilda should stop and ask herself if she really wants to be married to a man who cheats on his wife. But this is a teleno-nothing, so I think this we should get used to the dating-married-guys plots.
