"To all my fans who have been missing me, I will be out with a new single, or reality show, or sex video very, very soon!" Amanda says. She should check Daniel's collection, pick out the video where she looks the best, and release that one. "I love you!"
"And we love you!" Suzuki says as Amanda romps off. "Who was that?" he says when she's out of ear shot.
Betty shows up in Mode uniform, much better than when Crabby was on a softball team and the uniforms were smelly polyester used over every year. Not that better uniforms would have gotten me out of right field. (For those of you uniformed or undamaged by junior high sports teams, right field is where they put you when you are on the team and suck, because very few balls every get hit out there. It's also a great place to gossip with friends because you are rarely interrupted with anything sport-related.)
She joins Daniel and Daniel Junior on the field. Daniel says, "Well, he likes baseball and he likes models." Father of the Year, this one is. Although you have to admit, still better than Bradford.
"Naomi Campbell is très sexy," French Daniel says. Yes, and très crazy aussi, mon ami. Betty agrees, then freaks as she sees Gio coming towards them in a Mode uniform, with a Dolce and Gabbana belt. Hope he's wearing a cup over his deli pickle. She leaves and French Daniel sees Marc and says, "Marc is tres bon. Uh...funny."
Funny ha-ha or funny like your creepy Uncle Joe?
"You know Marc? How?" Daniel asks as it all starts coming together in his mind but not in reality.
Marc and Amanda are doing their "Elle can go to Hell" cheer like I do every week in the grocery store checkout line, and ask Betty if they can jump on her to get more height. "Guys, you can't just jump on people. It's rude." I thought the delivery on this was hilarious, like she was really instilling some new knowledge to Amanda and Marc about jumping on people and good manners. Comment of the week award! She turns around, and it's Gio!
"Am I crazy, or are you avoiding me?" He asks. Don't avoid. Go to Rome.
"Why would you say that?" Betty says, turning and walking away.
"Because you just looked at me and ran." He's got you there, Betty. "If you don't want to go to Rome with me, just tell me."
"Gio, I do, but - " she's interrupted by what's-his-name. Too bad Betty's feelings aren't as quickly changed as mine seem to be.
"Betty!" Henry yells. He does his dorkasaurus wave.
"What are you doing here?" Gio says.
"Mode needed more guys on the team, so I volunteered," he says. I thought they needed guys, not accountants? Boo-ya!
Let the pissing match begin!
"I volunteered too. I thought it would be a good thing for me and Betty to do before we go to Rome." Oh, Gio, why don't you just urinate all around her to make sure Henry knows what's going on. It would be more subtle than that comment just was.
"Rome?" Henry asks all confused. "I just asked Betty to marry me."
"What?!" Gio says. Someone beat you to the territory marking, Gio!
And there's Betty, torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool, with her heart beating so hard it's about to explode. "Play ball, bitches!" Suzuki says and Betty runs onto the field (I'm guessing the right one) while Henry and Gio chase after her.
Daniel is nowhere to be found because he's off the field gossiping with Willie. Probably about the new Prada line? No, wait, there's trouble afoot. He's yelling at Wilhelmina for leaking the story about his illegitimate son to the press and points out the baseball team is his, not hers. "Stop trying to push me out," he says.
"Your sister already pushed you out," Wilhelmina says coolly.
"No, she asked me to keep a low profile," he says, in that way he does right before a bombshell is dropped on his head.
"So you don't know," she says. "It's no longer a low profile, it's no profile. You're no longer Editor-in-Chief of Mode. I am." Oops. Sounds like HR really mucked this one up. Well, at least he'll get a better severance package out of this. Willie walks out onto the field and takes over pitching for Daniel. Willie strikes first guy out in no time.
"I must have been distracted by how fat you look in white," he says. He should have seen the dress from yesterday.
"Next!" she yells. Back at ya, beyotch.

I agree...I think she went somewhere, maybe Rome, by herself to think. Remember 90210 when Dylan wanted to take Kelly on a trip around the world and Brandon proposed and she chose herself? I think it's exactly like that... And I agree also that there will probably be some type of new magazine for Daniel where Betty will work...not sure how it will all tie together, but that's what I think!

Nice recap. I think most non-entitled people are going to have sympathy for Willie (who deserves/earned the job) over Daniel (who inherited and feels entitled to it). His sibling is a creep.
Betty's obviously going somewhere - but probably not with Gio or Henry. (The show couldn't stand her moving to Arizona, or leaving Meade publications, for that matter.)
Daniel could be the poster child for why many "regular" people resent spoiled, entitled children of the rich. Sort of a male version of Paris Hilton.
