"What are you two dinks doing here?" Penny's sister asks. Oops, probably should have knocked first. Marc asks how she's doing (as if he cares) and she tells them she just had a pap schmear, stepped in poo on the subway (meaning it could be human), and her sister is dead. Marc says it sounds like she needs a hug and he shoves Betty her way. But Penny's sister isn't having it because she got a real "lesbo vibe" off Betty from the minute she met her. And how!
Betty gives this whole song and dance about putting together the Yves Saint Laurent piece in memory of Penny. Yeah, and I want to win the lottery so I can do charity work, not! Her sister finds her notes and says, "Is this what you're looking for?" Then she tosses the papers out the window and they fall to the ground much like Penny but with less of a thud.
That hag did not just throw out our
Get Out of Mode free card, did she?
Back at Amanda and Marc's apartment, Marc and Betty are getting drunk on margaritas because they apparently have no clue how to write a report on Yves Saint Laurent without coo-coo-le-coo's crap-ass notes. Neither of them deserves that job! They whine about their little problems, what pains-in-the-ass their bosses are, and Amanda sums it up perfectly. "Do you know who I think the real idiots are? The two of you." She says they are whiners and need to get their shit together. "Marc, with your brains and Betty, with your Aztec build, there is nothing the two of you can't do." Amen!
Betty says, "She's right. We can do anything. We just have to join forces." So they do, and the next day they both turn in their resignations. Lucky bastards! No, wait...paycheck, insurance, paycheck, insurance...Betty says they are both worthy of the position, and they are turning the tables on Daniel and Willie. They are the ones who have to decide who should be editor, "Of a fashion magazine," Marc says, pointing out what Betty is wearing. "A features editor," Betty corrects, followed by Marc's, "Of a fashion magazine," as he points out what Betty is wearing. Good arguments both ways.
Thanks, Marc, for pointing out the obvious.
The leave the conference room and they are both terrified. Betty's new-found confidence takes her over to Matt's art class to talk. "I don't know if I'm ready yet," Matt says. Oh, man up, you pussy. She put up with your sexoholicism, your bitch-ass mother, your psycho dad, I think you can cut her some slack for kissing a guy for 30 seconds. I'm not saying it's right, but I am saying in the scheme of things, small issue. Perhaps you just put off moving in together for a few months? By the way, Ajerkoffboyfriendsayswhat?
She gives him the whole I'm sorry I shouldn't have, if I could take it back I would but I can't, but I love you and I want to be with you, yadda yadda lobster bisque. "I don't think we should throw this all away," she says. He says he has to get to class because he has no class and Betty shoves a ticket to the MAMA awards in his hand. Honestly, she should sort of be glad to be rid of this guy. He doesn't just come with baggage, it's a full set of hand-sewn Hermes.
That night, Daniel is getting ready for the awards and is looking for his note cards. Don't forget to thank your wife, Sean Penn. Molly has a fever so she'll be joining him later, towards the time when his award is being announced. Daniel wants to stay but she says she'll take a nap (and how!) and be fine. Daniel says he's having the nurse come by to check on her.
At the awards, Willie looks like a 1979 disco ball and she tells Claire she's "looking forward to the announcement." As if she'd really do that there. Betty's walking on the red carpet and bumps into Antonio Sabato Junior, whatever, and Justin makes fun of her dream. "Hey you," Marc says, grabbing Justin, "Betty's son...come with me, I want to get two bags from the swag room."
Oh looky-loo, Matt's here. You think he could have shaved. He bumps into his dad who is surprised to see him. Matt says he's here to see Betty and his dad wonders if everything is okay. Why not confide in the man who had little to no time for you growing up Matt? Good boy, arf!
Is that a 5 o'clock shadow or mold?

I must have lapsed into a coma (or a comma) about half-way through, because I didn't remember anything after that. But, thanks to your thorough and excellent recap, I don't have to watch it online.
