Amanda takes William back to Christina and she's all goo-goo gaa-gaa over him. Christina says it's hard not to feel connected to him because she carried him for two and half years. She tells Amanda she should know what it means - even though her adoptive mother didn't give birth to her, she's still her mother - the one who tucks you in at night and yells at you when you miss curfew. Amanda tears up. It could be because William's diaper is full and smelly, though.
Sweet Christ, that's strong!
And I ain't talking about the coffee!
At yet another place where Matt can forget his wallet, Betty is telling Matt about the check. She asks him what he would do and he's like "Cash it and dance for joy." He should have said, "Pay a restaurant check once in awhile," but whatever. He then tells her that he can't dance so she should never ask him to. I think that's pretty apparent, white guy.
Oh wait! He actually pays for their restaurant tab and signs for it...the phone rings and he steps away to take the call...Betty looks at the bill and sees the signature looks really familiar....could it be? YES it is! Matt gave her the money! But how can he what with his wallet never available? He must be absent minded about money because he's so damn rich! Wish I could forget my wallet all the time too!
Over at Mode Wilhelmina is saying that without the government money, the company can't move forward. The important thing is, at least you got to drink well! "As of tomorrow, Meade Publications goes dark." Or darker. Claire is pissed and yells at Willie for flaunting her wealth. Uh...Daniel was at that dinner too, Claire.
Daniel says that the committee was right...do they really expect some auto worker to save them? Well, everyone else seems to, and chances aren't good many auto workers are going to have jobs in the near future, either. But, kudos to the writers for getting that point across, you are as adept at political commentary as Jon Stewart. Now focus!
"We clean up our own mess. It's our responsibility," Daniel says. The only thing they should be doing right now is hunting down Connor, getting their money back, killing him, and hanging his hide in Wilhelmina's office. Daniel can have his mounted head and Claire can keep the petrified balls. Now that's an action plan.
Daniel says he's going to start liquidating his personal assets, which is usually what he does every Saturday night so I'm not sure why that is such a huge proclamation. He's decided to sell his townhouse, house in Amagansett, art, stocks, etc. Yes, because real estate and art is really hot right now in this economy. He thinks that should keep the company running for at least a few months. Claire points out that if the company doesn't turn around he will have lost everything. Yeah, but then he could do Kitchen Rumble.
I'm less asset and more boobs.
Wilhelmina says although she doesn't have the same kind of ass as Daniel, she has some resources. I'm sorry, she said assets, my bad. "I have a son now, and it's his company too," she says. He is going to be so pissed when he finds out how sucky your accounting department is.
Oh, son of a bitch! He's trying to buy my love!
Back at the restaurant, Matt comes back from his call and Betty is holding up the check and the bill - both with the similar signature. "Matt, what is this?" Betty says. Really, he could have been a little better about hiding this, or he could have sent the money over as an anonymous donation from someone who saw the Kitchen Rumble show or something, you know? Mr. Smooth at work again.
Betty asks if it was a joke and he says no, she just wasn't supposed to find out. She might have figured it when you signed your name to the nerdy Valentine's day cards you'll clearly be sending her, dumbass. Betty, not catching a clue, says she doesn't understand how he came up with that much money. "My family is sort of...really wealthy." Yeah, so is mine, just in sarcasm which rarely pays for things.
Betty's pissed he never told her about being wealthy and he says it never came up in conversation. Point: Matt. He tells her not to be angry and that "it's not that much money." Subtract point for douchey-ness, ten thousand dollars is a lot of money to a lot of people, and if you don't believe that, send me a check, Matt. I won't complain!

Matt is sort of a super rich slacker version of henry. I actually like matt for betty, he would introduce her to new things that would cause some great situations for tv (betty in the hamptons??)
Just saw the Matt actor in a mcdonalds 'what can I get for a dollar?' ad, it was odd.

Thanks for writing, Carol. Matt is adorable, meaning he must be hiding the freak somewhere (as we found out on the latest episode). I'll keep an eye out for that ad!
