Daniel sucks up to Cal and it's really awkward. Cal tells Daniel this party raises a lot of money for a lot of good causes, but what he loves most is the kids. This is where Cal and I would be parting ways. So what's Heather's damage today? No Easter bunny. And Cal is disappointed. He'd really like to see someone wear Floppy's costume today. Yeah, I can see how hard it would be to find an unemployed actor in New York who needed cash to jump into a pink bunny suit.
Needless to say, we all know Daniel is diving head first into that bunny costume, especially if he wants to continue talking business with old Cal here. I'd think twice, then call Richard Branson. He likes a challenge, is less creepy, and is kind of hot. And he'd wear the bunny costume no problem.
Hilda holds her hand up and screams, "I got it!" Yes, she found the Fab-burge egg. Bad news Hilda, they're auctioning it off to help the peasants in Russia. The proceeds are going to the children's hospital in her name. Not a bad tax write off, but since you don't have an income, you don't pay taxes or probably even file them, right? Hilda is pissed and Papi has to pull her off the stage.
Oh HELL to the NO am I donating this to kids!
Betty is walking through the maze of Easter decorations and Matt sees her. She asks him if he hates her because she hates herself and I'm thinking this slid into an abusive relationship pretty quickly. He says he doesn't hate her and he sort of apologizes for not thinking of the people who were losing their jobs because he has rich-boy daddy issues. He must have a team of therapists working around the clock.
Betty tells him she shouldn't have gone behind his back and he agrees and threatens to deny her hide-the-submarine Thursdays. He says, "I hope you don't regret hooking Daniel up with my father." Are they dating now? Is that how it works? "My dad can be a great guy, but you do not want to go into business with him." Oh shit. Turns out daddy is a control freak. Seems like that would have been important to tell Betty and probably would have made her, and Daniel, think twice about this.
"It's Floppy!" some brat screams. No, it's Daniel! Betty is surprised, Matt is not. He tells Betty that his mother is like an egg - hard on the outside but soft and gooey and chock full of cholesterol on the inside. His dad is..."like Satan." Thanks Church Lady, that might have been important info you could have passed before now. Kudos, telenovela! Kudos to you!
Humiliated at work? I work in marketing too!
Daniel is hopping around giving the kids Easter eggs and some bratacular little mofo throws him into some cake. Everyone laughs. In my house, everyone would have gotten smacked. Stupid rich kids and their lack of discipline.
How is Private Practice still on? How?
After the Easter egg hunt, Daniel is sitting pathetically alone at the museum, still in costume. Dude. Dude. Duuuude. Get out of the costume. Betty comes up to him and says she's sorry, she had "no idea this would happen." Really? Around bratty kids? Besides, Daniel could have shown some cajones and said no to the request.
Damn, they are really running out of
Jurassic Park ideas, aren't they?
"Betty," Daniel says, "we did it." Cal and Daniel did it? I knew it! Cal seemed creepy enough to want to do it with a life-sized rabbit. Guess he decided hiding eggs wasn't enough for the day! No...wait! Daniel just spent 10 minutes with Cal running the numbers (why did you not wipe the icing from your face?) and Cal is in! He's delaying his trip to Siberia so he can see a full presentation. Or because he doesn't want to go to Godforsaken Siberia. "He said he looks forward to being in the publishing business." I bet he'd be good at the tracking-down-Connor-business, too. Daniel slurps a scotch. It's like Bad Bunny instead of Bad Santa.
Drunk bunnies are funny!
Lab results are in at Big Willie's house. The baby is hers. Christina is disappointed and Willie wants her out of the picture. Bye, Christina. We hardly knew ye.
Victory is mine! Now get the f#ck out of here.

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.
