"How are we going to spread out her workload here?" Daniel asks. Betty wastes no time in seizing that brass ring. She is about to ask for the job and Daniel saves her. "Do you want her job?" he says. She feels awful but Betty, it's New York, this is how they roll. Same with apartments. He thinks a features editor position would be perfect for Betty. I think intern would be a step up.
Back as Casa Suarez, they are celebrating for their little Betty. Hilda asks Betty how things went with Matt and Betty says the dead woman actually interrupted the tell-all. Hilda says that Penny gave her life to give Betty a new one - she got a new job and didn't muck everything up with Matt. I'm sort of with Hilda on this one. I'm agreeing with her a lot lately, aren't I? That can't be good...more a sign of the impending apocalypse.
At Mode Amanda is explaining the intricacies of working for Wilhelmina to new guy, making sure he knows to call Willie "Honey," how she likes a big morning mouth-kiss, etc. She tells Marc she hates the new guy and that he can't just replace himself "with another gay guy." New guy says he's not gay but Marc gives him the "whatever" look, as do I. Marc hands new guy a file to give to Willie, and poor new guy slips and falls in front of Willie, but still manages to hold up the folder so she can take it. He may do well there!
That's a good place for you, minion.
And don't look up my dress.
As Willie is about to step into her office, Claire catches her and says, "Wilhelmina, we need to talk." She tells Wilhelmina that she did get pregnant by Cal, left the city, and terminated the pregnancy. Because we all know it's much easier to get an abortion in South Dakota than it is in New York City. Turns out neither Bradford nor Cal knew about the baby (so how did Victoria and if she did, why didn't she bring that up in the divorce?) and "all the lying" led Claire to have a nervous breakdown. "It took me a year to recover," she says.
"I love our girl talks," Willie says, adding she understands why Claire wouldn't want Cal to know. "What do you want, Wilhelmina," Claire asks. You mean besides world domination and one more night with Connor? She tells Claire to step down as Senior VP of Meade, and to keep her big "dandelion head" out of the Meade business. Hmm. I don't think it will be that easy, that head's pretty big. Claire turns to walk out and Willie suggests she announce her resignation at the MAMA awards, which I just got (little slow on the uptake, kids).
Marc walks in and laments this will be their last caper together. They reminisce about stealing Bradford's will, his sperm, and trying to frame Christina for murder. They laugh. "We really should be in jail," Marc realizes. Willie tells Marc she is really going to miss him, then she does something so heinous it's almost too evil to watch: she hugs him.
Did you hear that noise? Hell just froze over
and Satan's wank fell off.
New guy comes in to tell them Penny's memorial is about to start and Marc hisses him away. Then Willie says she wants to talk to Marc about something...
At Penny's memorial, they have a hideously large picture of her draped in black. Klassy! Where is the coffee bar? Oh, there it is, in the back. I'll take a frappucino with extra whipped cream. Betty gets a call from Matt wanting to know what that really important things was that she was going to tell him before Penny came crashing onto that Buick. "It was nothing," she says. He tells her it sounded pretty important but she blows him off again. Hey, judgy sexoholic, calm down.
Amanda screams because Penny's ghost is back, back for revenge! Actually, it's her sister. "We all really...worked with her," Amanda says. Smooth. Willie comes out of nowhere saying, "Let's get this dog and pony show on the road, I have an eyelash tint at 4." God bless that woman. She sees the coffee bar and takes off.

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.
