In Daniel's den of whatever he does, he says he doesn't want to sit next to this guy but does want to sit next to that guy and blabbedy-blah-blah-blah. Daniel then dumps out a huge bag of dress shirts that need to be tailored to be "peeking out" instead of "peering out" from jackets, so he needs 1/8 an inch taken off all of them. He tells Betty to get them fixed but do not use his name because he's mortified about the mix up. Wow. Precious.
Looks like Betty's the one that had yak this week.
Or it's Daniel's cuffs. Hard to tell.
Betty asks Daniel if he has any non-fashion related work for her, and Daniel says exactly what I'm thinking which is scary on so many levels, "It's Fashion Week at a fashion magazine," dumbass. "I do have this press release you could write," he says, not realizing that a fashion magazine either has in-house PR professionals or a PR firm. But no, let someone green write the release.
BRRRAAAPPP! Must be the yak from last week.
Running into the hallway is Molly dressed as Barbara Bush with the pearl necklace (insert joke here). Dear God, she's got huge grandma earrings to match. What a marooooon. "Everything I'm wearing hurts," she says. "That's good, right?" It is for me but mostly because I don't like your character much anymore.
They walk by Wilhelmina and she says, "Peering? My God Daniel, have some self-respect." This joke is already tired. But she does look amazing in the green form-fitting dress.
Back at Casa Amore, they are getting ready to have a farewell party for Elena and Hilda is totally excited. What Hilda probably doesn't get (because she has pea soup for brains) is that Elena as the nurse is going away, Elena as the hot chica girlfriend is probably around to stay. Duh.
The person selling Betty these purses must be stopped.
Back at Y.E.T.I. (which meets really inconsistently), Jodie says everyone will be picking partners. So everyone pairs up with someone who is at a magazine they are interested in - Betty sits next to the girl with Darfur editor at The New York Review. But Jodie pulls a fast one and tells them they are actually paired with the person on the other side of them. Personally, I hate it when people pull crap like this. It's like people with power are trying to rule over you and it just makes them look like asses.
And...Betty gets stuck with Sports Guy. Oh, crap. Worse than fashion! Except when it mates, as in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. "In publishing, you must expect the unexpected," Jodie says. Wonder if she expects NOT to be stabbed during the course of this project? Betty is less than thrilled. Jodie tells them to track the other person at their magazine and be ready to discuss five things you learned. Who would have time to do this during the course of a work week? Also, I think there is something big going on in fashion that week. Can't remember what it is, though.
Betty goes up to Jodie and "doesn't want to question" her decision but then questions her decision. She says she already works at a fashion magazine and she's not sure what she can learn "from Sports Guy." "Who is standing right behind you," Jodie says. "Awkward!"
The insult is coming from right in front of you!
Betty tells him they should just switch partners because he probably doesn't want to learn about fashion. "No, I do," he says, "and you are the perfect person to teach me."
Hold the effing phone.
Hold it right there.
My Spidey sense is tingling. Is this guy somehow interested in Betty for more than her Fashion Girl sense? IS HE INTERESTED IN HER AS A WOMAN?
That's it. I'm going asexual. Betty has had how many guys interested in her since the beginning of the show? Walter, Henry, Gio, Jesse, and now Sports Guy? Five guys in three seasons. Yep. Asexual it is! Oh, and the Crayola color I'm now wearing? Pissed-Off Umber. It comes with Angry Heart-Attack Red.
Betty is not pleased. You know what? Why don't you just get laid and SHUT THE HELL UP you little tartlet of Manhattan and the boring boroughs?

I don't work in fashion, but I do watch The Hills and The City, so I feel justified in rolling my eyes at this supposed fashion magazine..do fashion magazines even put on fashion shows? And why not hire Kelly whatshername or Whitney or something.
And you forgot to mention the old, father freaking out and driving off to the hospital without the pregnant person, makes me want to hit somebody...

That smiley-face dress of Heinrich's was actually worn by Colin Firth's wife on the red carpet.

Thanks, Dear Crabby for another recap. Sports Guy might not be Sandwich Guy but he's also growing on me.
I love how you opened the recap with a pic of the Lion King because that's exactly what was on my mind when I saw the birth scene.
