Testimonials

Betty makes the introduction and has to ask the barista to not make blended drinks during her speech. Man, a funeral with a coffee bar, that's the way to go. Betty tries being nice and asks if anyone wants to share their thoughts. Marc gets up and announces that he's saddened by Penny's death but to make sense of this, he will carry on her legacy as the new feature editor. "WHAT!?!" Betty screams. "That's my job!" Marc tells her you snooze, you lose, and she says, "I didn't snooze, I went after that job the second she died!" Betty, today you are my favorite.

"Is this still about my sister?" her sister asks. No, and it never was. It was about a double-half-caf with an extra shot of hazelnut, extra foam and a dusting of cocoa powder from Colombia. And a twist of lemon.

"You can stare at me all you want, Marc, I'm not giving in. Daniel gave me this promotion," Betty says. Marc counters with the fact that Willie gave it to him...AFTER Betty got it, but whatever. Where is their HR department, drunk at Coyote Ugly? "Aren't you going to Vogue?" she asks. Turns out Marc passed on it when he got this promotion. Dude, should have gotten it in writing, you totally just screwed yourself.

Wilhelmina and Daniel come out of the office and tell Betty and Marc they are both fully qualified, so they want the two of them to take Penny's notes and write the Yves Saint Laurent article. Whoever does the better job gets the job. Meh, I think it should go to Betty since she was offered it first. "The loser, gets fired," Willie says. "The loser stays an assistant," Daniel points out. Willie says that's not as interesting, but okay.

Over at Casa Not-Even-Wait-Listed, Justin screams like a girl because he got his letter from the performing arts school. How many of you looked at the envelope and thought, "Small envelope. He's been denied. If you got in, they always send a big envelope with forms." Papi opens and reads: DENIED! Justin is devastated.

I would recommend not wearing your lipstick shirt on your
first day of punch you in the face high school.

Back at Mode Daniel tells Betty she's going to win because there is no way in hell Marc could turn in a better written piece. I would probably agree with that, although his aesthetic is amazing (remember his YETI portfolio, when YETI actually seemed like a good program?). Betty does not seem so sure. Amanda comes by and looks over Betty's shoulder.

"Is that your family?" she asks. "No, Amanda, those are birds," Betty says, as she realizes Penny's hard drive is full of pigeon pictures. Amanda mentions that Penny liked to work from home a lot. Betty goes to check it out because breaking into people's homes isn't just reserved for interns on House.

As Betty gets up to leave, she runs right into Matt. Jesus, since he quit his job he sure is stalkerishly annoying. They eat lunch outside and Matt asks, "Did Henry and his girlfriend get off okay?" Henry did, that's for damn sure. He asks Betty if she saw him again before he left and she says yes, but it wasn't a big deal.

Very ladylike, Betty.

Matt disagrees. "I saw you. You kissed him. Right here, in this park, and I have given you every opportunity to tell me but you didn't." Oh, cry me a river, Man Whore 2.0. She tells him it didn't mean anything, she was just saying goodbye. He gets up to leave and Betty asks if they can talk about it. Matt says that's all he wanted to do since he stood there with his heart in his socks. See, that's the difference Matt. Henry's got something else hanging down in his socks. That kind of thing is sort of hard to forget.

Daniel comes home and is yelling on the phone, and Molly says, "You're sexy when you get all Bossy Boots." That would be a great, and probably accurate, name for a cat. Or a band. Molly is all dressed up and is lighting candles on a table for lunch. She thought a romantic meal would let him relax, which he does after tossing her around on the bed.

Betty opens the door to Penny's apartment, and Marc has already been all up in apartment's business. The apartment is a mess, with stacks of crap, menthol cigs, and vintage porn, not to mention a meowing cat, probably named Bossy Boots. They start going through things and Betty says, "She really did like beef jerky, didn't she. OH! That was the other smell on her breath!" Mystery solved!
