Heinrich's thoughts? He wants a hot, dry, vortex of wind that blows dreams into of dust. Sounds like my career. Betty interprets this as lots of fans. NO! He hates fans, they are cliché. "Give me gray!" he says. "Gray, but obscure! A rainbow of gray! Like clear fog!" Yep, I'm pretty sure I used to work for this guy when I was in advertising...did you ever deny me Christmas hams for a radio station giveaway? Finally, "Listen to the clothes, they will tell you what to do." They are telling me to embezzle whatever money is left under the Mode mattress and head to Mexico.
Suzuki St. Pierre is announcing who is coming to the Mode show, saying "Looks like somebody's gone from drab to fab," when he sees Molly. "Ugly duckling! Ugly duckling!" he calls after her. She's not Betty for God's sake! She walks off. Where is Daniel? Probably sitting in the front row.
Marc comes up to Suzuki and says that Willie wants to give him an exclusive review of the line who just bounced her to the second row, and "She will be at her Wil-hel-meanest," Marc promises. I love her like that! Daniel comes up to Molly and makes a mean joke about Heidi Klum finding her way to the end of a joke (leave the mean comments to the recapper, buddy). Molly hangs up her phone and says she has to leave. Good. She gives this bullshit story about how there is a leak in her building and the landlord is afraid the ceiling will fall in and nobody cares just leave.
At Betty's desk she and Sports Guy are staring at the picture of the "dress" and he asks, "Is it telling you what the concept is yet?" Nope. "Would it help if I told you that I Googled you and there are already 47 mentions of you and Heinrich?" Nope. "So it's probably not the best time to ask you about the clip of you on a Harley running into a vat of Jell-O." Nope. That's 0 for 3, right Sports Guy?
Amanda comes flying up and begs Betty to get her into the Heinrich show. "He is my favorite designer," she pleads. Heinrich is all the rage and now everyone wants into the show. Turns out they are moving him to the closing position of the show. The show that is probably happening in less than 24 hours. Schweet!
Betty admits to not knowing what the hell to do and tells Sports Guy she thinks she's "wasted three years of her life." I know what you mean. Oops - I'm sorry, I thought you said you were wasted for three years of your life. My twenties were kind of a blur...
Sports Guy says she should take a break and come over to his magazine and learn about sports. Okay, you are cute and I would totally let you take me out for Dunkin' Donuts coffee and a cruller, but damn, read people better! She doesn't have time for your jockstraps!
I think I just sat on one of Heinrich's dresses.
Be a dear and fetch me some pliers.
Betty, in unusual fashion, totally goes off on this poor guy and basically calls what he does crap, similar to her current fashion experience. "Right," he says, and begins to walk off. "You know, I was really excited when we got partnered up. You seem so smart and interested in things, but you haven't asked me a single thing about what I do. You heard sports and judged me the same way you don't want people to do to you. You say you think fashion is shallow, but you seem to fit right in." Wow. Call me! I wax!
She chases after him, apologizes, and he's actually cool about it and they make up. So much so that she decides now is the time to learn about sports! So...the end up in the locker room of some sports-related team (I'm more HGTV Girl than Sports Girl). Guys might be naked, but what difference does it make as Betty clearly will be making her way through every guy in the New York metropolitan area before I ever get another date.
Yo, Betty! I want you too, how long's the line now?
Ugh. Over at Movie House Suarez, the family is trying to watch a movie while Elena and Papi nuzzle like horny teens. You know, I totally get it, but you think Papi could take it down a notch or two knowing how hard this is for Hilda. Calmate, Papi! And put it back in your pants, kids are around.
Get a room, you alley cats!

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.
