"Today's my birthday," she tells Betty, and she knows about the surprise party. Betty was surprised she knew and Claire says, "Betty, you are so good at many things but subtlety isn't one of them." Neither is dressing well, speaking well, or using a flatiron.
You know what Claire wants instead of a party? Time alone with Daniel. Eww! She tells Betty that she and Hilda won't be living with Papi forever. They should be glad he found someone to spend his later years with. Of course, Elena is one hot piece of ass, so they should probably get the will sorted out now instead of when Papi has his next heart attack and dies naked with a smile on his face.
The manager comes by and tells them he's seen the video surveillance tape - Betty can go, but Claire has some 'splaining to do. She's used to the cops, no worries Betty. One more time in jail and she gets a free toaster.
Is he giving birth to a yak?
Molly comes into Daniel's office and he's lying on his chaise moaning. He hopes she didn't bring leftovers and she says yak tongue is better the next day - like pizza. Kick her out of the office now and go do one of the supermodels!
Daniel tells her he wanted them to have their own history but Connor is all over the place. I don't know, I'd consider last night pretty memorable - as does Molly. I guess barfing on a Buddha will do that to you. Daniel's phone rings and it's Betty. So Daniel escapes and heads down to the store that apparently has no customers besides the Meade's sticky fingers. He has a heart-to-heart with Claire before they head out to her party. I have to say, I absolutely covet her clutch. Maybe I'll try to steal one this weekend.
Look what that effing bird did to my blouse!
Back in Wilhelmina's office, she's trying to teach Birdy Lice-ington to say it loves Prada or Gucci. Marc says, "I love Oscar de la Renta Fall 2009." Jesus, even Molly couldn't say that. Willie snaps, "Keep it simple, Mary!" She shakes her head. "Just throw it out the window," she says. I'm right behind you on that one, Willie.
"But that's...burder," Marc says.
"It has wings. Let it fly south and torment some family on Staten Island," she says. Did Connor bring that from Australia? With heroin up its ass? Because maybe it's not legal in the U.S. She could get rid of it that way.
"You'd throw your boyfriend's beloved pet out the window to avoid telling him you loved him?" Marc asks. Of course she would! Marc tells her that waiting for someone else to say "I love you" first doesn't make you more powerful, it just means you're afraid. Well DUUUH, that is why prefer it that way. Don't scowl, Willie, you'll wrinkle.
Elena is walking along the sidewalk with a grocery bag and the Triscuit product placement and French bread bursting out of the top, but nice job to the person who slapped in the bag of Goya whatever. Very authentic. She comes up to her stoop slowly because a horrible, fat, bag lady is sleeping there - no wait, it's just Betty in her unfortunate ensemble. Breath-taking. As in, it is so ugly it knocks the wind out of you.
Sorry, thought you were going to beg me for money or cut me.
You aren't, are you?
Betty came by to eat some Goya crow and apologize. She said they were just really surprised about the love match, and Elena says it was a surprise for her too. Betty says they were just worried for his heart and Elena says, "Romance is good for the heart, what did you think, we were hanging from the chandeliers?" to which Betty yaks up her lunch.
No, I'm telling you, Hilda's breast are wonky!
"Your father is a good man...and he's good for my heart, too," Elena says. Aww. Who could deny that? So back over at Casa Hotpants, Betty comes in and says that there will be five eating tonight for dinner, and Elena walks in. Hilda is pissed. She pulls Betty aside and says it's wrong but Betty says no, it's just hard for them to see him with another woman. Hilda is so not having this.
Crap, now we have to eat this plate of broccoli.

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.
