Daniel tells her not to talk like that and she tells him he's a "national treasure," showing him a magazine labeling him a national treasure. He really doesn't like this whole thing and asks if she's still up for the game. "Yeah, I'm dying to get out," she says. And how!
Back on the tennis court, Willie is letting Victoria win (I'm guessing) and Willie tries to get in good with her. They start talking boys and Victoria recommends getting alcohol to ease the pain. Could girl-on-girl action be in their future?
Victoria had a lesbian "incident" ?
Yeah, Willie would hit that!
Claire walks into Daniel's office with a gift that was accidentally put on her desk. It's a thong with a woman's number on it that was supposed to go to Daniel. I bet Tom Jones got pissed. "Jersey area code," his mother says. You don't hear or see the disdain, but it's there. Daniel is creeped out and tells his mother Molly's getting obsessed with who he's going to be with when she dies. Or not. "I can't think about life after Molly," he says. Really? I can.
Over at Betty's desk Matt says, "So we're going to the game with your ex-boyfriend?" Yes, and his abs rule and he's not a sexoholic, but he is a father so right now it's a toss up between you two. Matt says he's cool with it. Betty's phone rings and it's Bernadette! With good news!
"Daniel," Betty says in Daniel's office, "I'm going to be an editor." Like hell you are. How do you go from admin to editor, would someone please explain that to me if that happens without some slap-and-tickle? Do you ever think the actors sit around the table at the reading and say, yeah, this really doesn't make sense, or do you think they just collect their checks?
"It's not official yet," she says...well, way to jinx it, now it totally won't happen. Turns out The New York Review will be calling her tomorrow to make an offer. Daniel is going to miss her, she's going to miss Mode, Betty starts crying, Daniel thanks her "for everything," now let's get to the boyfriend-off at the game!
The celebrity first pitch is thrown out by Daniel Meade who is more of a celebutard. I love the way the seats are barely filled for this game, they must be playing the Cubs. Betty is at the game dressed like a muppet, but Matt still gives her the security card to get into his building. Aw, sweet. Or maybe it was a hotel room key. He might be more comfortable with that.
DUCK! Gayest pitch ever coming your way!
And here's Henry! "Sorry we're late," Chloe says, "but we're girls, right Betty?" Do you think she thinks Betty is a hermaphrodite and she's just trying to see? Betty and Henry are sitting next to each other and to be honest, it's hot. Nerd-hot, but still, these two would totally jump each other if the bathrooms were clean.
So, let's get to the boyfriend off. Henry - accountant; Matt - man of leisure, point...Henry. Betty tells Henry Matt's a painter and has half a law degree, so he's got some really worthwhile skills. She decides not to tell Henry Matt's rich. Good move. Chloe starts talking about how she whipped Henry into shape and tries to show his six-pack. Nice. Betty hopes Matt doesn't do the belly button talking thing, but he does. Point, Henry. Suddenly Betty sees Matt versus Henry on the big board and begins keeping score herself.
It's easy to see how Matt managed to get so much tail.
Daniel and Molly are eating fries when a friend of hers walks up. Molly introduces her to Daniel, tells him all the things they have in common, they both went to Harvard (who goes to Harvard for a teaching degree? You'll be paying that student loan off...never), both are jocks (what?), and both hate desserts (who hates dessert?). Then Daniel makes a fool of himself by telling Molly's friend that he doesn't want to go out with her, which is good because she's there with her husband. Oops. Way to make Molly's last moments on earth socially awkward, ass!
Henry is telling Betty about his kid being in pre-school (seriously, that kid is already that big?) and he tells this funny story about something, I don't really care because it's kid-related, they all laugh, and Betty continues to mentally have Matt and Henry compete.

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.
