Still not being able to read body language, Sports Guy comes flying up to a frantic Betty and tells her that he learned his pants are actually chinos and she corrects him with "khakis." Sweet Christ, why doesn't she just taze him? "Did you see where I put that press release yesterday?" she asks him. He says he gave it to her boss. "It said for immediate release." Why did they print it out in the first place? And did Daniel even read it? Maybe he just peered at it. Or peeked. I can't remember what is in now.
He's got a cure to what ails ya, Hilda...antibiotics!
They look back and here comes Daniel looking pissed. Or he has to take a crap, I can't tell. Sports Guy says that if she gets fired, he can get her a job covering wrestling. Well, it would be a step up. Daniel is pacing and pissed. "Daniel, I'm sorry," she says. "Peering...is back," he says. She should hook him up with Darfur editor, they'd have SO MUCH to talk about. Now he's upset about that 1/8 inch off his cuffs. I covet his life.
Worst-case scenario: His cuffs POKE.
"Nice job on that press release," he tells her once he calms down. "I liked that it wasn't full of the same old clichés. And so did Heinrich." Betty is surprised as is every PR person in America. "He wants you to produce his show." You mean the show for Fashion Week? That is occurring right now? Because he's a procrastinator and doesn't have it ready? Don't these things get planning way in advance? Oh, these questions are giving me a migraine.
Betty wants to know what she's supposed to do. "Come up with a concept for his show to get people excited about his clothes," Daniel says. I've worked for people like this and you will notice that I used the past tense. I bet people who really work at fashion magazines roll their eyes every time they watch this show. Or every time they see Betty's ensembles.
Betty doesn't think she's right for this but Daniel says designers usually have very clear visions on what they want and Heinrich will tell Betty. Except Daniel doesn't know that Heinrich doesn't have clear vision because he broke his glasses to use for his collection! Why couldn't she have done this to Ralph Lauren or Oscar de la Renta or some designer with taste and class? Sports Guy smiles and...great, and he's cute. You know, Betty, save some for the rest of us!
Marc and Wilhelmina are in the car and Marc is confirming her usual seat at some show...except oops, she's in the second row! Marc wets himself a little. He starts talking off to the side so Willie can't hear him offering the person at the other end of the line box seats at the Met, reservations...a kidney! "I'm O-negative, it's a universal donor," he says. Well then save it for Willie!
No front row seat? Why not just feed me yak?
"I can hear you, you know," Willie says. "What's going on?" He tells her she's in the second row. She decides not to attend. She asks Marc if she's gone soft. He tells her "No, you are just as horrible and evil as the day Satan himself placed you in your mother's arms." Marc, you are a sweet-talker! She decides to remind the designers of her power. Hope she flies around on a broom with "Surrender Designers" written in smoke in the sky!
Back at Mode, Daniel is worried that Marc Jacobs or Jean Valjean or Chanel back-from-the-dead will be judging his new girlfriend/pre-cancerous mole, so he has some stylists doll her up. Personally, I would have been insulted. When she's done, she reminds me of the second Becky from Roseanne. The suit looks cheap and has gold chains/piping on it so she has the head of a 16 year old and the body of an 80 year old. Nice work, stylists, good to know Vogue has nothing to worry about.
I'm not imaging it, am I?
Back at The Heinrich's studio, he says, "You are the first person who understands me, Betty Suarez." "Still, we will wait to make love." Good call, Betty may have some waxing "issues" going on right now that would make your glass/rusty nail/barbed wire/wing dress look like bunny fur. Betty wants to talk about his show, and she has Sports Guy in tow at this meeting too. Does he not need to be, you know, working at his own job this week?
I may be a designer, but even I know arms crossed
means "Steal Second Base," Betty.

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.
