And the graphic dissolves into the actual wall at the show...the construction team probably got some of the stimulus money, huh? Betty tells Marc that he can explain that they are plenty of other fire exits to the building other than the two that are currently being blocked by the wall. Something tells me they can pull rank on you, Betty. You're not God.
Betty suggests moving Isaac Mizrahi to the second row because there will be too many objects for him to throw if he has another tantrum. Daniel joins Betty and starts to tell her that something's up with Molly and he doesn't know what he did. Then he tells Betty about the makeover and Betty's all like jerkwad, that was stupid, don't you like her Molly Plain and Tall (ish)? Then you made a big oops and just not in your pants this time.
Wait! The box of 64 Crayolas are on my chest!
Hilda is at the show waiting for Justin when guess who shows up - Elena! Hilda is pissed and says, "Did my father put you up to this?" Nope, turns out it was Justin who gave up his seat, mostly because he's the only adult in the family right now and wants these two to get along.
Daniel is on the phone with Molly apologizing for being an idiot (that had to use up some minutes) and he tells her he loves her. She says it's been an overwhelming week, she's crying, and says the apartment situation is "more serious than they thought." Except she's saying this at a doctor's office. "But they are working on it," she finishes. I bet it's that Tibetan rash that has gotten out of hand! With any luck, she'll be dead by sweeps.
Daniel, I'd love to talk, but I have stirrups to get into! Bye!
The Mode show is in full swing and they are ending with Heinrich's show. Glass breaks everywhere (no OSHA violations there) and the show begins. It is full of wings and leather and a whole mess of stuff that probably belongs in a secret dungeon somewhere, or Vegas. "Who's gonna wear that?" Hilda says. "I have the same one in purple," Elena answers. Hilda laughs. Oh no! Friendship forming!
I totally wore this to my prom! I guess everything old IS new again!
More wings! Ooh! A silver pirate hat! A silver tutu! More wings! Clomping boots! This is going to sweep the nation, I can tell you that right now! Right after the apocalypse.
What do you know? She destroys the
line just by standing near the dress.
In the back, Christina is helping dress people and complaining per usual. Heinrich says he will give Betty one of the dresses as a thank you, looks at her, and says, "Your body will destroy the line." That never stopped her from dressing badly before! Instead he gives her a halo of barbed wire.
Just because you're from Mexico does not make you a Jesus!
One of the models flaps her wings way out and Hilda and Elena crack up and head for the bar. Amen. Mizrahi almost gets hit with the wings and says, "I am this close to throwing a tantrum." At the bar, Hilda and Elena voice their love for spandex saying you can dress it up or down (no, you cannot), and then tell each other they cannot live without stirrup pants. Security! Escort these people out! Well, at least they worked out their friendship.
Bonding over bad fashion and good champagne!
Betty is watching the show and she says, "I think I finally get it. Fashion is art." Security! And? I did have yak for lunch because here it comes!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAL!
Then Christina goes into labor. If you remember, I told you I ABSOLUTELY HATE LABOR SCENES. HATE HATE HATE. Lamaze breathing, screaming, crying, sweating, cursing out the father...whatever. Since they can't get Christina out the back way because the fire doors are blocked, they take her out on the runway. She drops to the ground ready to have the baby, they ask the models to come around her and hide her with their wings, Willie gets onstage to help with the birth AS IF, Elena runs up to help, then we hear the baby cry (and that better be the last freakin' time we see that kid, Murphy Brown) with Willie holding him up like Simba in The Lion King for no other reason than get back in the game. Ironic, since babies normally ruin careers. Seriously, that kid is slippery with placenta, please put him down and wash your hands.
The second coming...of Wilhelmina Slater's career!

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.
