Betty starts to imagine herself as Willie, straight hair and eyebrows groomed (she has eyes!). She sees herself getting Botoxed, she yells at people, fires people, has Daniel removed via security, then turns around and sees an adorable little puppy that she heads over to kick. "Not the puppy!" She screams as she comes out of her trance.
The wind up and the pitch!
As Willie's assistant, Betty should delegate the shredding out to someone like a lowly intern, but luckily she doesn't. She realizes they are all letters to Mode for Daniel. Dun-dun-dunnnn.
Back in Queens, Hilda is getting ready for sex by dressing in an all-leopard, all-night sheath. Skanky! Justin exchanges out the zebra purse with a metallic blue one. Oy. And Justin's shirt is oversized and sleeveless. Ick. They tell Hilda she deserves this happiness. Well, she deserves what she gets.
There is so much more wrong here than just her tacky handbag.
Back at Player, Betty piles on all the mail from Santa Claus onto Daniel's desk. Yes, Virginia, there is a Daniel Meade! People love Daniel! They love his covers! They love his work! Betty tries to get Daniel to come back to Mode but he says Wilhelmina won, he lost. It's over. Is that an attitude of a playa? Come on Daniel! Buck up!
Does no one subscribing to Mode use email? Way to go green, Mode
Christina is in the Mode closet yelling at Stuart. Meh. He looks terrible, give him a Dior tie and send him on his way. She's saying he used her and that he just wanted the money to buy drugs. Was she already paid for the baby, because I think it's still cooking. Or maybe it's 50% up front, 50% on delivery? I bet the legal contract is more interesting than this story line.
Christina tells Stuart she had his hair tested and it came back positive for Oxycontin and heroin. "It's like Rush Limbaugh fornicated with Amy Winehouse and they spawned you." Wow, cheap shots all around. I'm not saying it's not true, or funny, but cheap nonetheless. Drinks on me, writers.
It shows not only do you have the syph, your library books are way overdue!
Stuart is pissed she had him tested, which most druggies would be. He says she doesn't understand and grabs her, but she wiggles away and threatens to call immigration. Seems like she might be in a little bit of trouble for sort of hiding him all these months, huh? Go ahead and call, lassie, nothing like threatening a junkie.
Back at Player, DJ is thrilled he made it to the next level of Guitar Hero or whatever nonsense you kids play these days. Daniel decides now is the perfect time to ask him if he wants to stay in New York, or go live with his grandparents in France. DJ wants to stay with Daniel in New York. Phew, what a relief. And, possession is 9/10, 1 cup, or 3 tablespoons of the law.
Over at Mode's re-launch party, held in the offices (boring!), the camera pans over a horrific ice sculpture of Willie. It's so much warmer than she is in person. She tells Betty what a great job she's done with the party. "You're not wearing the tiara," Betty says. She's such a dunce sometimes.
Betty hands her a letter - her two weeks notice. Good timing, this couldn't have waited until the morning? "I thought I could work for you but I can't. I do want to be successful, just not by hurting people." Betty, you live in New York, isn't being hurtful the state motto?
Betty, I think I'd like to go back to
having Marc do my collagen injections.
"I really misjudged you, Betty. Under those gaping pores and caveman eyebrows, I thought you were smart," Wilhelmina says. Well, someone was bound to point that all out. "History is written by those who win." Oh, crap, what if the Republicans win? Hope they have one of those memory-erasers like they did in Men in Black!
Claire, in a bright red dress compared to all the black and white surrounding her, says, "Betty, why don't you stay? This party is about to become very interesting." And you know when Claire says that, she means it. I wish she'd go back to drinking, she was even more fun then. Claire turns around so we can see Alexis and Daniel walking into the party - and Daniel's not wearing a track suit!

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.
