"I'm looking for Betty Suarez," Coach says. Amanda knocks Marc off her lap and says, "I'm Betty Suarez." Marc knocks her out of the way and says, "I'm Betty Suarez." Wasn't this a game show back in the 70s? I don't know from personal experience, someone told me. Someone old. Ahem.

Dumping your friends for a new boyfriend.
So typical. Of you both.

Coach has stopped by to get his signed copy of smut while Amanda and Marc try to feel him up. She brings it back and Marc looks at the cover and groans. Coach says, "Did you see that Superbowl?" and Marc answers, "If I say yes will you take your shirt off?" Heh. And, will you? Cheater?

When Coach is gone, Amanda says she needs his phone number because aw shucks, he left his phone. A lesser recapper would think he did this on purpose to hook up with Amanda later, but I think it was an "honest" mistake - Amanda pick-pocketed it. Amanda says the pictures of him kissing that slutty stewardess really "dull her tingle." Ew. Betty grabs the phone saying Hilda isn't slutty, until she sees the total and complete WASP Coach is kissing. She has huge boobs, too, I just noticed that when I put it on pause. At least Coach is consistent. And? Oops, who's going to tell Hilda?

Huge WASP boobs. At least Coach is consistent.

Hilda is at Betty's house eating while I notice Betty's tights look like lizard skin. Did she take like 50 different pieces of clothing, put them in a blender, then throw them on today? Note to self: Get Betty a mirror as a house warming gift. And a pair of industrial tweezers. Hilda jokes about Coach being sexually harassed at Mode, then asks for his cell phone back.

Betty has to tell Hilda about the other woman. Except the other woman is Hilda, so what a Three's Company scene of hilarity is surely about to ensue! She shows Hilda and asks if she's okay. Of course she is, other women don't have feelings. Hilda looks at the pictures, closes the phone, and says, "It's his wife."

"They're separated?" Betty asks, hopeful.

"It's complicated," Hilda says. No, it's really not. You are dating a married man, he's a lying, untrustworthy ass who is leading you on and you are a fool and kind of a 'ho for doing it knowing full well what the situation is. See? Not complicated at all.

"You're dating a married man?" Betty asks.

"See? This why I don't tell you things. Because you judge." Well, she actually just stated the facts. Betty is horrified Hilda knew about this and continued with the relationship.

"This can only end badly," she says.

"Who says it's going to end?" Hilda asks. Uh, history? Reality? Take your pick, Hilda. Of course Hilda gets ticked at Betty and refuses to walk away from the relationship because she's in love with him. She leaves.

Daniel and Claire are at some hoity-toity French prep school for DJ's first day of school. Claire is proud of Daniel for being a natural father. He's having a hard time deciding what to do because he's afraid if he asks DJ what he wants to do, he won't get the answer he wants. Yes, it would be sad to get rid of the Frenchman.

Back at Mode, some morons decide to deliver the Wilhelmina ice sculpture (lifelike!) to the office in the morning. Good thinking, dumbasses. Hope nobody licks it and gets their tongue stuck!

If you did this with Willie's sculpture, it would be a Nipple Dog Dare.

Marc and Amanda are screwing around with the balloons and Betty tries to talk them down off their helium high. They answer back in Mickey Mouse voices and it's pretty hilarious as helium often is. She bitches to them (like they care) that she's been up all night working on this and has a million things to do.

The balloons are actually filled with spray paint fumes.

"A million and one," Marc says, handing her a huge bag of mail. "Wilhelmina wants this all shredded and turned into confetti for the party." Marc makes some snide comments about Betty's loyalty or lack thereof, and hits the nail on the head when he says, "You and Wilhelmina are a lot more alike than you know." That's gotta hurt.

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.
