"You're right," he says, "I'm going to get out of your way." What a wuss! Betty runs after him as Marc says, "Bye!" I'm with Marc on this one, they really would be better off without Richie Rich getting in the way of their careers.

Now, did anyone else's screen go black here for like 2 or 3 minutes, or was that just my squirrels eating the satellite cable? Luckily, I found the fated conversation between Matt and Betty in the apartment hallway. Should have had this little conversation in front of JESSE'S door.

Matt fesses up to Betty that he's losing his passion for publishing. I've lost my passion for my career, but as long as the checks keep cashing and the insurance is paid, I'm good to go (why do you think I recap?). What is he drawn to? Art. He wants to oil paint. Well, at least he didn't say finger-paint. He didn't, did he? Betty, with a confused look on her face, supports him because that's all she's good at with the men she dates.

I can't believe I let this nutcase at my goodies!

The next day Marc tells Betty he can't book their option #2 so they are screwed with a capital S. Betty makes a funny about Amy Winehouse that didn't take much effort since the woman is a walking trainwreck of biblical proportions (translation: worse than Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears pushed together, see, I can make a funny too).

All of a sudden Betty gets a call that they did get the planetarium; all she has to do is go down and sign the contract. Thanks, Matt. I wonder how much renting the planetarium in New York City costs? I bet she can afford it on her assistant's salary no problem. Just bill it to Cal Hartley because the planetarium POPS like product placements.

Marc has to stay behind to referee Willie and Claire arguing about a wedding dress. Willie says the model looks hideous and Claire hits below the belt, saying, "The love of your life stole all your money and fled the continent to get away from you, no wonder you don't like a happy wedding dress." Good one, Claire. Willie tells Claire that because she got married "5,000 years ago," she probably doesn't know what's in now. Claire volleys back that it's no wonder Wilhelmina prefers black wedding dresses since she killed her groom at the alter.

Marc turns to the staff and says, "We've got to get you all out of here!" As Claire and Willie play tug-of-war with the emaciated model, Marc tells the staff to "serpentine" their way out. They clasp hands and like a snake get the hell out of dodge. The model's dress rips and it looks much better.

Model as wishbone! Crack her good
if you want your wish to come true!

Over in Daniel's office, absolutely no work is getting done as he and Sweet November are meeting with a wedding planner. She tells him that Molly gets whatever she wants. Try to pick out something that will match the satin lining of your coffin, Molly. It will just save time and money.

The planner asks what kind of venue they had in mind and Molly wants to have it at the Hotel Bora Bora on the beach under the stars. Way to go, Bridezilla. "I want it to be like a party," Molly says, having never been to a wedding reception before. "Tacos and margaritas instead of lobster and champagne." Just go to Vegas, honey, they can do that there. Or Brooklyn.

Then they tell the planner they want to get married at the end of the month. Again...Vegas. The planner says this would take 8-9 months which we all know Molly doesn't have. Daniel reminds her it is whatever Molly wants. Way to make the planner eat her words! Eat them, bizzitch!

Why rush, it's not like someone's dying...oh, wait...

Over at the planetarium, Betty is clearly the only one taking advantage of Free Wednesdays because the place is vacant. Suddenly a silhouette appears as the music for 2001: A Space Odyssey plays and who can it be? Victoria Hartley! Who could have seen that coming except all of us.

What's with all the silhouetting this week,
is it Victorian-Era Art Week? Damn you Hallmark!

Victoria tells Betty that in order to get the planetarium for Betty, she called her friend Bitsy, threatened to blackmail her, and boom! The planetarium is Betty's. Now that's service! But Betty ain't buying it. She wonders why Victoria would be doing this when they didn't get off to the best start.

Allison:

Yes, I agree. Where is Gio? Betty has poor, poor taste in men, although after what Matt has turned into, even Henry is starting to look better. Ah, telenovellas! Or telenovas. Whatever.
