Daniel and his mother are bitching out Alexis and with good reason. That really was a dick move on Alexis's part, and she doesn't even have one anymore.
"It's what's best for the company," she answers. Look, I'm totally with you, but you really should have told him before the big game. "We'll find something else for you to do, but Mode just isn't it." Again, good point. And Daniel should remember that his third of the company will be worth more if they put someone competent (not him) in the Editor-in-Chief role. Just cash your checks and stop complaining. Claire is speechless. Too bad she stopped drinking, I liked her bitter uninhibited comments. Daniel looks over towards his pseudo son and walks away with him.
Then Naomi Campbell struts out and I lose my lunch. I really despise her, so I don't want to give her anymore place in this recap then necessary. Suffice it to say she acts like a total bitch - oh, did I say "acts"? My bad. She whips out her phone and everyone ducks (points for making fun of yourself, but you have actually injured people. Could you imagine if the next time Mel Gibson shows up in a cameo he makes Jew jokes? See? Not so funny anymore). She asks Bono if she can call him back (like he'd ever call her), looks at Willie and says, "Give it to me, mama." You know, having Willie as a mom would make sense for her viciously bad behavior.
The Elle softball team is made up entirely of
Naomi Campbell's previous housekeepers
In the outfield (oh look, Henry's in right field, go figure), Betty looks to Gio in left field, then back to Henry. Who will she choose? Could something help her make a decision? Something like V8 juice, whacking her in the head? Yes! Naomi bashes the hell out of the ball and Betty goes to get it. Instead, she, Gio, and Henry are involved in the signature move of my junior high softball team - running into each other in the outfield and getting knocked out. Sweet!
Well, that's one way to make a Betty sandwich
Betty wakes up to "Good morning Mrs. Grubstick." Wow, that's enough for me to not marry Henry. Besides, Betty is a woman of the world, she'd probably keep her last name and get along a lot better in Tucson keeping "Suarez." As the camera pulls back, we see that Betty has moved into a stereotypical Tucson house, with two sun medallions on the walls and cacti on the blue screen through the window. Henry is bringing her breakfast in bed. So Betty passed out long enough to get engaged, plan a wedding, get married, and go on her honeymoon? That's one way to get through that part of your life stress-free.

"How'd you sleep?" he asks.
"Well, I had this dream, and it was so vivid. It was about the softball game," she says.
"You mean the best softball game ever?" Did Wilhelmina die?
"Yes, the day I decided to marry you," Betty says, holding up her ring finger with the rock sparkling. Henry wants to go to the Coolidge Dam (better than the Coliseum, right?) but Betty has to finish her article. She jumps out of bed already sort of dressed and says she'll finish it right now so they can spend the weekend at the dam. Who knew the dam would be such a motivator?
"Oh, by the way, did you pick up that dandruff shampoo - " she begins to say as she opens up their bedroom door...to Italy! This house has everything! And there is Gio, sitting in an amazing room with a view of Rome. And probably no dandruff shampoo.
This place is Head and Shoulders above Tucson!
"I have got to comp Daniel sandwiches for the rest of his life. This is the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in," Gio says. Betty has a puzzled look on her face. "What's wrong?" he asks.
"Nothing. I was just imagining my life if I had ended up in Tucson," she answers. Gio pulls her onto his lap and they begin to plan their day, including eating a white pizza (racists!), which Betty wants to do first. Hope there is a lot of walking during their stay, carbs are not going to be Betty's friend. They kiss and suddenly Henry calls for Betty.
Looking at her kissing Gio, Henry says, "What are you doing?" Not going to the dam, that's what.
"Henry?" Betty asks.

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.
