"I'm interviewing for an editor position, I'm moving in with you...it's like everything is perfect," Betty says. "Oh my God, there's even a rainbow," she finishes, her eyes following the rainbow down not to a pot of gold but a huge hunk of HENRY yelling for a taxi. Betty drops her coffee. "Matt, I have to call you back," she says. I know! I thought the end of the rainbow would be Gio, but Henry is still better than Matt at this point. I miss poor, bumbling, sports-writer Matt who didn't understand the color brown.
So much better than a pot of gold. I think.
Back at the office, Betty asks Amanda if she has any messages. She does, and it's urgent. Betty reads, "Bradford needs to see you in his office immediately." Ha! It's funny, 'cause he's dead! Betty's upset there are no other messages and tells Amanda and Marc that she just saw Henry getting into a cab. Amanda says sometimes it happens that you think you see people who have died. Marc reminds her that Henry's not dead, but the jury is still out on his new show so he's back for some sneaky lovin'.
Over at The View, we see the only women dumb enough to do this crossover are the Loud Jew and Stupid Republican. Let's see if they are any match for Daniel. He begins talking about the wedding issue and mentions Tracy Reese has just designed her first dress and I'm thinking...is that someone from One Tree Hill or
They could all be wearing an "I'm With Stupid" t-shirt.
Speaking of weddings, they want to know about Daniel's..."How's the bride?" Loud asks. Daniel says she's doing great, what with her TERMINAL cancer and all, but then he tries to steel the conversation back to the wedding issue that still isn't out, but Stupid interrupts and tells him he's a totally changed man, then she and Loud take turns calling him a player, dog, blah, blah, blah. Did the writers take a vacation the week the finale was being written?
They camera pans over the crowd where tons of women have signs for Daniel, Daniel and Molly, etc. and I'm wondering how security let them in with those. I can't even take an umbrella to a baseball game, but sure, block a View fan's view of the The View with a sign. "Looks like you have some 'Faniels' out there," Loud says. Why, why, why was this crossover necessary? Loud then tells him he can talk about the magazine right after he gives her a lap dance. ABC, please cancel that show!
"Bitches!" Wilhelmina says as she turns off the TV. Wise move AND comment. Marc comes flying in with all the info on Victoria Hartley including a "lesbian rumor from a very reliable source." Did she do it with Claire? That would be hilariously awesome! In order to get to know her better, Willie will have to play tennis. "Congratulations," Marc says, "you are now the youngest and most ethnic member of her tennis club." I guess Loud Jew doesn't belong there!
At her desk, Betty is looking through her YETI folder and then clicks over to Facebook or Twit-Her to see what Henry is doing. Turns out he's in Chinatown enjoying dim-sum. I'll tell you who is the sum of dim: Betty, for checking on Henry's every move. Marc jumps up behind her and calls her a horny little hamster for sniffing around Henry's info. She's upset because Henry's been in NY for three days and hasn't called her.
Henry Grubstick ought to get a life.
"Who cares?" Marc asks. They have their YETI interviews in half an hour so "run a comb through that wig and let's go!" Another Twit comes up and it turns out Henry is getting fat because he's eating somewhere else now, and it turns out it's one block from where Betty is. She really wants to go, but you know...interviews!
We see a montage of Betty interviewing with every dying magazine in New York, passing resumes, talking, nodding, blabbedy blah-blah. The last woman says, "That's quite a resume you have, Betty. It was very nice talking with you." Oh, she must have told her about covering for Daniel's sexcapades and tossing water into his mouth during his workouts.
And they told two friends, and they told two friends...

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.

This is how it ends: "Over in Willie's apartment, she is..."
I am reserving my unadulterated praise for this recap until the rest of it has been posted!
