Back at Mode Betty is with Sports Guy and he won't shut up while she's checking her messages. Why? Too busy asking you out to dinner? GRRRRR. Amanda swings by and Betty asks her if she knows about some guy named Heinrich, the person they've added to the Mode fashion show for Fashion Week. Which is occurring now. Amanda has no clue who he is and Sports Guy says, "Wow, Heinrich? He's great." If you don't know brown, you don't know Heinrich. Which he doesn't.
Daniel comes back into the office and Amanda tells him he was all over the papers. She begins to read the paper which says Daniel looked great, then stops when it tells who he was with. "He was accompanied by his new girlfriend/charity case, a frump with a pulled-back hairstyle that a turn-of-the-century librarian would deem too severe." Amanda reminds him that they didn't mention her big ears. Good point! Daniel says Molly looked fine but Amanda reads more...not so much. Maybe next time Molly will skip Fashion Week and instead attend I Work at a School Week.
Amanda turns to stone at the picture of Molly from Fashion Week.
Betty and Sports Guy show up at Heinrich's studio and Betty tells him to shut up until spoken to. Or something less severe. They open the door and see some hideous outfits on two mannequins and a dead body on the floor. Finally!
My brother used to have clown wallpaper.
No wonder I became a recapper.
No - he's not. Damn. "I'm The Heinrich," he says. "Heinrich for short." She introduces herself and Sports Guy. Heinrich says, "We will make love. Not today, but someday." Oh, that is just great, now she has six guys who want her. I'll be out on the ledge, too bad I'm only on the first floor.
Now is the time on Sprockets when we take a break.
He shows them a mannequin that has the dress he's showing at the Mode show and it's made of broken glass shards and barbed wire, much like my heart right now. No, wait - it has wings. Nevermind. Maybe they could get Molly to model it? Pretty please?
Edward Scissorhands meets The Crow.
I would totally go see that movie!
Back at Mode Betty is complaining that none of the models will wear Heinrich's dress because they won't sign the release. Odd, considering most of them have such low body fat, I doubt any blood actually pulses through their bodies. That would be a cinch to wear! Christina loves it. She will not be missed.
"So The Closet is just like a really big closet," Sports Guy says. Oh my God, can't someone push him down the stairs? Christina knows where they are. "So do they ever give you any of the clothes?" he asks Betty. No, because Betty is a huge cow and they don't fit, and clearly she prefers dressing like something from Working Girl on LSD. Betty sends him on his way to read back issues of Mode and look in her "confidential drawer" which contains snacks. Betty, we've seen your ass, the drawer ain't confidential.
You are too white to pump your fist like this.
Betty and Christina decide to write a fake press release calling fashion pain and recommending people get their tetanus shots before wearing his stuff. Well, Christina writes it. Then we see Betty at home and Justin is putting the finishing touches on the real one. Did Betty write any of it? Betty tells Justin that she only gets two tickets to the Mode show this year so he has to decide who he's going with. What are his choices, Papi and Hilda? Easy choice. Just like Hilda!
Hilda comes into the dining room with pancakes she made because she's celebrating Elena not being there. But guess what? Elena spent the night! And now she's in the dining room with Papi! Smiling too much! "You have the same hideous bathrobe as Grandpa?" Justin asks. Papi says it's not hideous, it's retro, and obviously they have some things to talk about. Like birth control or like how gross it is to know your dad's been getting it on in the same bed he shared with your NOW DEAD MOTHER? Telenovela, I bow to thee.
We had sex! No really, we did. TWICE. I think.
Betty puts the real press release in Daniel's inbox but overhears Suzuki St. Pierre (j'adore!) talking about "cutting edge fashion." Oh, say it IS so! Turns out the wrong press release got out! Oh, Betty is SO FIRED except is does sound kind of cool. In a rusty-nail sort of way.

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.
