Elena goes to leave and Papi says she should stay. Betty tells her to go and Elena bullets right out of there. Papi says he knows he hasn't dated since their mother and it's not easy for them, but Elena won't replace - "STOP!" Betty says. "Don't use her name in the same sentence with Mom." Calm down, amiga! Hilda says he absolutely cannot date Elena. Because why is this your business? Papi says this isn't about him or Elena, it's about Hilda and Betty and their need to get those huge sticks out of their butts and bug off. He's got you there, girls.
I really wish I would have taken off my wedding ring
before I tried to make a point about my new girlfriend.
Back at the restaurant, the server drops off something with compliments from the chef. Daniel's all like, "Let me guess? A Mr. Connor favorite?" and Molly says that no, it's for her because she's into the weirder stuff. Like domination? "Connor stuck to the noodles." Daniel says he's all about the adventure and takes a bite of the food they dropped off. It's blood sausage and luckily he keeps it down. So by weirder she meant she's a vampire? That does seem to be the rage right now.
The server comes over and Daniel orders what turns out to be broiled Yak tongue. Whatever. He changes his order to number 46, which turns out to be "Mr. Connor special." Okay, now Daniel is pissed. You know, you'd think he would have been shamed enough just seeing Connor in the locker room, you know? How do you compete with such large gym shoes?
Funny...I never have a second cup of
fermented yak butter tea at home.
Daniel starts to tell Molly how upset he is, but then asks what they are drinking. "Fermented yak butter tea," she says. I hate Molly, she's a pretentious bitch, isn't she? I mean, she tries to play it as though she's just this average teacher, but she gets Daniel to loan her a high-fashion dress for some stupid school thing, she has flings with her fiance's co-worker, and now she's all about the yak butter. She probably buys it from Zabar's and brews it herself every Sunday before finishing the Times crossword puzzle in record time.
Needless to say, they should have called the restaurant McYak because that's pretty much what Daniel does. Way to branch out, rich jerk. I bet Mr. Connor never barfed. Of course, he's Australian and has a stomach pickled in Foster's.
So Betty with camera in-hand is following Claire in a store "for her Y.E.T.I. class," although I'm guessing the only good footage she is going to get will corroborate the store video surveillance camera. Claire says she's starting an advice column in Hot Flash. Betty gets a little ticked and asks Claire if she told her dad to sleep with Elena. Yes, I'm sure that's how the conversation went.
In the midst of the mayhem and foolishness,
Betty catches a glimpse of herself in the mirror.
Claire says that her dad found someone to make him happy, what's the big problem-o? Betty is incensed that her dad just had a heart attack, that Elena is too young, and that he's not ready for something like this. "He's not ready or you're not ready?" she asks Betty. Then Claire grabs a thong and begins to head out the door. Betty grabs it from her hand just as the alarm goes off. The security guard grabs Betty and she's nabbed for taking a thong her ass would never fit into. That's the real tragedy.
As if.
Betty is trying to talk her way out of the thong theft but the security guard could solve this easily if he just asked her to turn around. Claire comes down the elevator with the manager of the store and tells them she tried to steal the thong, not Betty. The manager says he's going to let the police figure it out. Nice burn on your security guard, dude.
Young lady, do you really need
that gyro with extra tzatziki? I think not.
Off to the side, Betty asks Claire why she's doing this. Claire goes through this whole boo-hoo about how she married, had kids, and how everyone depends on you until one day you wake up and you are invisible. Okay, no one could depend on you because you spent a lot of time plowing into Christmas trees. Maybe they find you invisible because they had to forge ahead with lives while you climbed inside a Chardonnay bottle. I'm just saying, Claire, that I adore you, but you brought A LOT of this on yourself.

Thanks for the recap. As always they are WAY better than the actual episode. I was surprised to see Connor and in the episode but as always he's hot and sexy. :)

Excellent recap, better than the show by far. The costumes are too easy as targets but I enjoy your zingers there and elsewhere, they always hit the mark.
