Betty begins to explain a dream she had where she's in a park eating a hot dog (in dream world, that's a penis), then Antonio Sabato Junior takes the hot dog away from her and kisses her, and it turns out to be Matt who yells at her for being a cheater. She's telling this to Hilda who is advising Betty not to tell Matt about the kissing. She wants to tell Matt to make sure they start their lives together with a clean slate. And that dream sequence was really weird. I think the hotdog represented Gio.
Justin comes down because they are doing the announcement of the MAMA awards and he wants to see if Mode was nominated for anything. Hilda is thrilled Justin is so full of culture and says she's sure he's getting into that performing arts high school. Did I miss an episode? Oh, look, it's Rachel Maddow doing the award nominations because why now? So many celebrities on this finale, it's hard to keep track and somewhat irritating, isn't it? And where's the cherry you-know-what from last week?
Marc stops by Willie's apartment for the announcement and Mode is nominated for their wedding issue which was just printed yesterday. Wouldn't they have nominated magazines from the previous year? Over at death watch, Molly wakes Daniel to tell him, and he reminds her that she had a fever last night and she needs to get back to bed.
Willie is at Mode smiling and thanking people for their accolades as mark throws flowers the color of Willie's dress all over for her to walk on like most of her employees. She wants to know where the press is and Marc tells her "eagerly awaiting their queen." They turn the corner and there is Claire dressed as crazy Joan Crawford talking to the media. Willie is pissed and decides to bust out her little nugget.
She's ready for her close up, Mr. DeMille.
Well, not too close.
Claire asks if there are any more questions and Willie says, "I have one. I was thinking about taking a vacation to Madison, South Dakota. I hear it's a wonderful place to find your...inner child. Ever been there recently? Or in the early 80s?" she finishes. Claire looks stunned and thanks everyone for coming.
In Daniel's office, he asks Betty if Penny Meadows has finished the Yves Saint Laurent piece yet, as she's been working on it for months. Betty doesn't want to go check because this woman is mean and "her breath smells like coffee and mothballs and another weird smell I can't quite figure out."
"What the hell do you want, Eyebrow?" Penny a.k.a. Rachel Dratch screams at Betty. Good one. Betty asks about the piece and Penny is bitching and moaning about the pigeons on her window ledge, and I'm thinking they really should keep those windows closed. She crawls out on the ledge and shoos the pigeons. Betty gets a message from Matt that he's outside.
If they mated: Coco Chanel and Betty.
Back from his artist retreat which must have happened when exactly, since the magazine was just printed and got an award the next day and Betty's been having that hot dog dream for three days...anyway, time in Betty world is beyond all of us. Matt's new painting is of two people, I'm going to say Matt and Betty, seated at a table with gas masks on. Because someone let one fly?
"Why are they wearing gas masks?" Betty asks. "They're protecting them from the foul stench of their lives," he answers. Man, he IS an artist. "It's where inspiration took me." Or did he say perspiration and that's why they are wearing the gas masks? Betty tells him she has something she needs to talk to him about.
Jesus, project your emotions much?
"God, this is hard," she says, "but before we move in, I think you should know..." and we hear screaming and a body hits a car across the street. "Oh my God," Betty says, "Penny?" Yeah, she's dead.
Who the hell was able to get
parking right in front of the building?
"Fall fashion exclusive!" Suzuki says, "With the emphasis on FALL." He explains she was shooing pigeons away from her window so on his "sexy death meter, this rates a three." That seem high...have you smelled her breath? Daniel says he issued a statement and Betty says she sent flowers to the family. They decide to have a memorial for her even though everyone hated her, but it gives them a chance to bring in a coffee cart.

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.
