"Except for the fish belly complexion, I don't see Bradford in there either," Marc says. Then Marc realizes something's up, and Willie tells him the photographer thinks the baby looks like Christina and Marc is like, OHMYGODHETOTALLYDOES! Oops!" Churn, churn. Marc tries to comfort her by telling her it's medically impossible.
What do you mean my earrings are hideous?
"Actually, it is medically possible," says the doctor who has been summoned to Willie's office the following day. He tells her that it's possible that Christina could have been pregnant when they implanted the embryos, the embryos wouldn't have taken, and the baby is actually hers. Seems like they may have wanted to run a PREGNANCY TEST prior to such an expensive procedure, but quality control ain't what it used to be. Willie has just created clotted cream in her mind.
Willie's pissed because if little William isn't hers, she "goes back to being a paid employee." And one who has begun drinking in the afternoon if that wine glass is any indication of how she handles stress. Personally, I just kept the vodka Velcro-ed to the underside of my desk for easy grabbing and no discernable smell. She tells Marc to find out if Christina has sex before the procedure. OR, they could just do a DNA test. May not be cheaper, but definitely less awkward.
It's like looking into a mirror during my workday.
Betty comes into the conference room to speak with Daniel and it turns out his team has been up all night working on the proposal for Hartley. Yes, because when I'm with a company that's about to fire a bunch of people and go completely belly-up, I put in overtime. Yeesh.
Daniel is so excited about their presentation, and shows Betty how they made a video of Daniel that is almost identical to the one they viewed of Hartley, only it's less interesting and Daniel hasn't done half the stuff Hartley has. Snore! Betty, having no balls, tells Daniel that Hartley is going to love it. Oh Lucy, you are going to have a lot of 'splaining to do later.
Pulling an all nighter? Is there any bong water left?
Over in the closet, Betty is talking to Christina who is playing with William and calling him an "unholy product of a deal with the devil." Way to build up Damien's self-esteem there, Christina. She says Stuart is getting better and I'm like, who? What? Who cares? Betty tells Christina that she has to make sure Matt and Daniel don't see each other until she can figure out a way to eat all the chocolates on the conveyer belt first. Which means Daniel and Matt will be lovers soon. Matt's not that particular, remember?
SWEET CHRIST! Matt's in the office! His call is coming from inside the building! She tries to get him to find her with a "sexy scavenger" hunt and he roams the halls while Betty tries to get rid of Daniel. But Daniel backtracks from the elevator for his briefcase and Betty tells him she'll get it. Bionic Woman music plays as Betty leaps over boxes to get Daniel's briefcase to him, and Matt finds her! With Daniel! Catastrophe!
Can we rebuild her? Because...eh!
Daniel sees Matt and says he appreciates him setting up the meeting with his father. Matt looks confused and says, "Excuse me?" Daniel keeps going and Matt says, "I didn't set any meeting." Oops. They both ask Betty what is going on, and judging by the camera person's shot, they are all emerging from a giant, orange va-jay-jay, but no one is yelling "Weeeeeee!"
Colorful Va-Jay-Jays, next on Oprah!
"Why did you tell him I set up a meeting with dad?" Matt asks, luckily not adding, "the man who 4 presidents want to meet but just can't." Betty says she didn't exactly tell Daniel that, but Daniel throws her under the bus and says, "Yes you did." She says she can explain this but not with both of them there. Because you are going to make a bunch of shit up for each one of them?
Betty explains the proposal all-nighter to Matt and says she hoped she could talk him into it. Why not just withhold sex, Betty, that seems more important to Matt. "Remember when I could ask you for anything? Hide the submarine Thursday?" She almost says (I may have paraphrased). She says it's just a business meeting but Matt disagrees.

Nice recap! Just a nerd accounting note: When companies don't have enough money to cover all their debts, they can file Chapter 11. In Mode's case, where there is no money (Daniel and Willi are using their own cash), they would have to file Chapter 7, which is basically liquidating the company and closing the doors. Anyway, back to Ugly Bettyville, where the real world rules don't apply.
