"Maybe I was a little selfish leaving you guys in a lurch like that," he says. Maybe? Betty asks if he'll come back to the group. "Well when you do that cute little squinty thing with your eyes, how can I say no?" Matt, that's a twitch she has. Rude to bring it up! "And don't worry. You're nothing like my mother." Try to remember that when you're having sex.

At the planetarium where the shoot is probably costing them two grand an hour, Matt is telling the makeup artist that some of the aliens are sweating. Way to take charge, Matt! Marc introduces Betty to Adele's manager who asks if this is some kind of "school project." Way to know what you are getting your client into. Are you taking 10%?

Hi Matt, just back from Hell. Satan says he's
going to be a little late for your 11 o'clock.

As Matt is bossing people around, his mother shows up. She says she was just having lunch with Bitsy, "As usual, hers was liquid," and she wanted to stop by and see him finishing his YETI project. "I'm proud of you," she says, in what I'm guessing is an unusual moment of tenderness. "I'm glad you're seeing something through."

As she leaves she touches Betty's arm and says something and then walks off. Matt comes up to Betty and asks if his mother put her up to this. Uh, your mother just touched Betty's arm and not to shove her somewhere. Clearly they are in cahoots. Oh, I said it: CAHOOTS.

Sorry, I had some Polaner All-Fruit on my fingers
and your double-poly is just the thing I needed.

Daniel is in his office looking at wedding gifts as Molly shows up. The guys showing the gifts shows them copper cookware. "You two will be cooking with these for the next 50 years," he says. Or 50 days. "That's a long time," she says. Guy continues, "Oh please, the first year of marriage flies by...or so I hear. Then you'll be having babies," and lose all your single friends who have lives.

"This is a mistake," Molly says. "We can't get married." Guy exits quickly and Daniel tells her they can do this. Molly states the obvious that although Daniel has given her a lot of things, he can't give her more time. Do you think he wants to marry her so he can get those things back legally?

At Casa Suarez, the phone rings and Papi answers. Turns out it's for Elena and Papi says she doesn't work there anymore but he can get a message to her. Before hanging up, he says, "I'll be sure to ask her." Hmmm. What could it be? If it's a job offer, how dumb was that for a company to do - leave a message with a previous employer?

Willie and Claire go screaming into Cal Hartley's office since clearly they haven't mopped up the bodies left after the Russian earthquake and he's in the office making love to his product placement. Willie says she runs the top fashion magazine in the world (what about Dog Fancy?) and Claire "runs a dinky insert for menopausal old ladies."

"Cal, you kept me because I'm the best in the business, and as such there are three C's I avoid," Willie says. OH, not the C-word! "Collaboration, compromise, and Claire," she finishes. "And trust me, I chose the nice C there." Damn, how did this get by the censors? "And what do you have to say," Cal asks Claire. Claire agrees. But her third "C" is "Cal," but she keeps that inside.

"While I think I actually did fix her bizarre black wedding dress concept, the spread is never going to get done with both of us working on it." For the sake of Mode she wants to take herself off this project. Willie asks her what game she's playing. "No game," Claire says. "Life's too short." Yeah, just ask Molly McButter.

Cal takes her off the project. With Willie on her way, Cal would like to "speak to Claire" about something. Is that what you kids are calling it these days?

I'm sorry, they think this is going to be a winning project how now?

At the planetarium, Matt is being a whiney little bitch telling Betty he can't believe she went behind his back to his mother. He says he feels like she just had him re-join YETI just so she could get the planetarium. Betty says she thought he was helping him finish something. "Did she show you the slideshow?" Matt asks. Yes, and they are running it on the Times Square Jumbotron you arrogant prick. He can't believe Betty believed his manipulative mother.

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.
