Outside, Betty catches up with Christina who has darted down an alley! She's getting into a car Stuart just left as Betty catches up to her. She tells Betty she needed to get out of there so she's using Stuart's car. And Stuart is going where? To his job at Starbucks? Betty is just trying to make sure Christina is okay but Christina is acting weird. They get into the car and suddenly we hear a baby crying.
You have access to a major fashion magazine's closet
and out of everything you steal this.
"Christina! YOU TOOK THE BABY!" Christina peels out of the alley, which has an amazing amount of open parking. That's the real news here.
How did she do it? Well, turns out when she found out the baby was there she just snapped. When everyone went to the elevator, she just took him, called Stuart, and sometime in that 90 seconds where they were greeting Hartley, Stuart drove over, found parking, went upstairs, took the baby from Christina, walked down 20+ flights of stairs, found a car seat, put the baby in the car seat, waited for Christina to get done being interrogated, then let her drive home. Either there was a rip in the time-space continuum or the NYPD sucks. Or this is a telenovela. Let's go with that.
Betty is freaking out because now she's an accomplice to a kidnapping. Only if you stay in the car and help her, dumbass. Just get out at the next light, call the police, and call it a day. Next time, don't buy the coconut cake.
"It's not a kidnapping if it's your own son," Christina says. Say-what-now-huh? She thinks Willie faked the DNA test. Just like on CSI: Wilhelmina! Why did you not have your own test done, moron? She tells Betty Willie needs the child to hold onto her place at Meade. Suddenly, we hear sirens. Let me guess, tail light out?
Back at Mode Daniel is doing his presentation and talking about all the talent they lined up to be on the covers for the next few months (great agents, girls, putting you on a cover of a failing magazine). Willie is in the background screaming and yelling and breaking things. Well, at least they are tasteful things. Daniel feels bad and says he can't go on...his "partner's" baby is gone and he just can't finish when this tragedy is going on.
Hartley says, "So you are asking if we can reschedule even though I told you this is the only time I can do this." Ass. Daniel says yes. "You know what's gonna happen?" he says threateningly, "I'm going to make time before my flight tomorrow morning." Jesus, no wonder Matt's so effed up. This guy is a passive-aggressive traveling freakshow.
New Summer's Eve fragrance...Cal Hartley.
Back in the mean streets, Christina has pulled over and a cop asks for her license and registration. "You've got a serious problem here," she says, looking at Christina's license. "Your tail light is out." Betty is relieved. "Is road safety a joke to you?" Is real criminal activity that needs your attention a joke to you, officer? Are you freakin' kidding me with the tail light bullshit?
I'm giving you a warning but next time,
bring someone well-dressed.
Betty starts up with Christina and taking the baby back and Christina shows her a picture of William - no! It's Christina as a baby! It looks just like William! So he must be hers, right? How much more scientific do we need to get? The officer is back to let her off with a warning and thank God in Heaven we're not clogging up the courts with this crap. The baby starts to cry.
"Who's baby is this?" the officer asks. Both Christina and Betty say "Mine" at the same time. Morons. Then Betty says, "Ours," and grabs Christina's hand. Way to play the lesbo card, Betty. I bet it feels so right, doesn't it? The officer tells them to get out of the car and she checks the baby seat. "What were you ladies thinking?" She tells them that the car seat is not hooked in properly (damn you Stuart) and that she and her partner have the same one. Of all the lesbian cops in all the world, why did these two have to drive onto her beat? She lets them go.

Great recap! I missed some of the details while watching.
BTW - Heard any rumors about Rebecca coming back? They never mention her character on the show. How about Salma? Either one would be a plus.

Rebecca just filmed a pilot for ABC called Eastwick, so if it takes off probably not (bummer!). IMDB is showing Salma has a lot of projects going right now, so who knows! Henry's coming back so anything is possible - now if we can just get Gio back!
