As the woman goes to leave, Betty blurts out that she got her first subscription to The New York Review when she was seven. What a nerd. "John Cheever was on the cover and there was an article about how the Kroon had just replaced the Soviet ruble." Wow, she was a TOTAL nerd. She says The New York Review helped her realize there was a big world out there. The woman looks impressed despite Betty's outfit.
Bernadette comes running in to tell Betty that everyone loved her, but when Marc asks she answers, "To be honest, they thought you were selfish." I guess he shouldn't have taken away the Marc love so quickly. "They were hurt you never called back," she says. Calm down, Fatal Attraction.
Outside, Betty assures Marc that Bernadette would not sabotage his career. I would disagree. Betty asks Marc what happened and he says, "There were kisses and boobs and lots of tears." Just like most of Amanda's dates. Speaking of which, she jumps into the scene out of nowhere asking them how the interviews went, hoping not well because she doesn't want to lose them.
"Marc, it would be like losing my soul mate, and Betty, it would be like losing an elderly aunt I'm somewhat fond of," who smells like mothballs and old red and white mints. I added that last part because she sort of looks that way. They stop on a street corner and Marc says, "Hey look, it's Café Blini..." and Betty looks at her watch and says, "Henry is probably still there." Weren't you just in a marathon of interviews this afternoon? Seems like Henry is probably on his 10th restaurant and 40th Twit of the day.
Betty decides she doesn't want to go, so she turns and begins to walk the other direction and runs right into Gio! He proposes and they get married and live happily ever after! No, actually, it's Henry, who I also adore but he does have a kid which takes him off my list of five if he had ever been included in the first place (George Clooney, John Stewart, John Hamm, Josh Lucas, Aaron Eckart and Kal Penn tie for fifth - one can be an alternate...but damn! Where does that put Gabriel Byrne and Mark Wahlberg? I'll need to get back to you).
Please don't squeeze the Henry.
"Hi Betty," Henry says, as Charlie 2.0 comes up behind him and says, "This is Betty?" and Marc and Amanda are totally loving the draaaaamaaaa. "I'm Chloe, Henry's girlfriend," Charlie 2.0 says. Oh MOTHER BEEEEEEP. God, she's got perfectly straight and white teeth!
Henry and Betty are looking at each other like they want to jump on each other and Chloe is rambling on about meeting Henry's Mode friends. Yeah, he only had one...Betty. "Are you dying? You must be dying," Amanda says to Betty. Betty asks Henry why he's here in New York and he says that Chloe is here for an aerobics conference. Of course she is, perky little bitch.
Marc and Amanda lean forward to feel Henry up as Chloe tells them he was starting to get a little bit of a pot and "I said, not on my watch." Thank God she's not watching me. Henry looks embarrassed. Betty looks forlorn. Or foghorn. As in leghorn. Chloe asks Betty out to dinner tonight but she's going to that Mets game where a dying woman is throwing out the first baseball to help promote a magazine that hasn't even gone to print. Sorry!
Marc and Amanda immediately give over their tickets to Chloe and Henry, and that's when Henry finds out Betty has a new beau. "Cool," is what he says. Well, don't worry; he's not an aerobics instructor.
Over at Country Club Whitey, Victoria is asking Billie Jean King if she's really won 6 Wimbeldons. Okay, so no black people, but the lesbos are allowed? Interesting club. Billie Jean says she let her win. Probably safer.
Suddenly Wilhelmina is there waving to Victoria. Turns out on her first day as a new member, her partner is a no-show. Victoria hates to see someone lose their court so she's up for playing. Yes, yes she is.
Back over at the Meade Hospice, Daniel walks in on Molly watching Daniel in the throngs of his fans with more signs. Man, I should have bought stock in Hobby Lobby. Molly shushes Daniel and he asks why she continues to watch it. "It's fascinating," she says. "You are going to get so much tail when I'm gone." Yeah, unlike before you were here and he was living like a monk. Also? That was sick.
TV is a very demanding mistress, even on the walking dead.

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.
