Betty storms into Bernadette's office. "You stole my job?" she says. Oh you have got to be kidding me. Kill her Betty, kill her now and no one will convict! "I didn't steal it," Bernadette says, "I just convinced them to hire me instead." Yeah, you stole it. Why is Betty wearing a shower curtain from 1962?
Hard to be taken seriously when you look so blousey.
Bernadette says they got her for a very "reduced rate," which I'm sure she's doing all over town in other ways too, "but that left no money for the two junior editor positions." Betty is fuming because obviously one of those was supposed to be hers. Bernadette tells her it's been hard seeing a cheery 20-something "waltz in and take what I've been dreaming of my whole career." Didn't she have a good career? Isn't that why she's overseeing this year's YETI group?
"You were my hero," Betty says, "I idolized you." Bernadette tells her it's been a crappy year. She lost her 401(k), her cat died, and she's hitting on gay guys. "I'm tired of helping other people get what they want. Who said I'm done?" Betty grimaces. "I guess you aren't," she spats. Well, as much as Betty can spat.
Over at some spa that looks like Mode, Marc is checking on Willie. Her whole body has tennis elbow, she's got a hangover "worthy of a college freshman," but she also has the scoop on Claire. Unfortunately, Marc is not as happy as she is and he spills about the interviews. I was kind of hoping that Willie had called and screwed things up to promote him so he'd stay for her, but no such luck.
"But I did get an offer," he says, "from Vogue. I start in two weeks." Wha-huh?!?!? Willie is stunned.
Hellraiser XII: The Willie Years.
Betty is at the office, still wearing the shower curtain, after hours, and is crying to Matt's voicemail. She sits down at her computer and sees that Henry is still up on Facebook. He updates that damn think like every 30 seconds. Betty sees he's right in the park near her. Hmmmm.
Daniel is at home and he wakes Molly up from her dead sleep. He wants to show her the cover of the wedding issue...it's HER! "It's going to sell millions. Everyone will know Molly was here." She kisses him and asks if she looks fat. She actually looks pretty cute and finally...the magazine has been printed!
Just wait 20 minutes so it can be named Magazine of the Year!
Over in the park, Henry says, "I can't believe she stole your job!" Oh, here we go, the sharing and caring of two ex-lovers. This won't end well. "I just needed somebody to talk to," she says. "Why do you think I was updating my Facebook stuff so much? I wanted you to find me." Is he getting butterflies too? Man, babies ruin everything!
"I have to tell you something," she says. "I'm moving in with Matt." Henry wants to know if she loves him and she says she does. She also says that what she had with Henry was amazing and exciting but what she has with Matt is totally different but good. Henry agrees Matt is a great guy. Betty says Chloe is a great girl. Henry says he's not sure why he's with her since they only thing they have in common is that they can do one-arm push-ups. Well, that's a relationship sealer if I ever heard one.
There's the money shot!
"I don't know if I'm ever going to feel this way about anyone else," he blurts out. "Me neither," she says. Oh crap. What are they going to do. She says she'll accept that she'll always be a little bit in love with him which is okay as long as it doesn't keep them from moving on to raging sexoholics. They go to say goodbye, hug, and kiss. Then they start making out like monkeys. Then they break apart and Henry walks away, which is good because Matt is standing about 100 feet away watching, and he has enough money to have Henry killed.
Sucks to be you dude.

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.
