Back at Fashion week, Fabia realizes that Wil visited Dr. Wong. Wil vows to get back at Fabia, and her little dog too. Ah, nothing more wonderful than a Wicked Witch reference! If there are any flying monkeys in this episode, it is going to rule! Betty finds Hilda giving some models advice on stuffing their bras. She explains that Hilda shouldn't even be speaking to the models. Imagine her surprise when the models invite her to a party that night. Silly Betty, everyone wants tips on how to make their boobs look better!
Amanda calls Marc, and tells him that she has found the It Item. And it's a faux rabbit-fur miniskirt. She wants Marc to find her immediately and help her steal if off of the model.
Um, really? Everyone in America will be wearing faux rabbit-fur miniskirts? Because I'm pretty sure the hot items that I'll be wearing in 2007 are my sweatpants and T-shirts. There are no occasions in my life that call for a faux rabbit-fur miniskirt. Well, except for Sunday morning church, but everyone knows that.
And Cute Henry has found Betty. He shows her the cool new pop and locking moves he learned at the Sean Jean fashion show. He then makes some jokes about taxes. The only thing that would make Henry more nerdy: Star Trek jokes and discussions of the drawbacks of TurboTax. But of course, we love Henry for his nerdiness. And then we finally get to the really good stuff. Henry finally asks Betty why she didn't call him back after the Christmas party. Of course, Henry's phone call is news to Betty. And an angry Betty is quickly off to find Hilda.
And Marc is off to find Amanda, leaving a blind Wil to fend for herself. Luckily, Justin is there, and in a super cute scene, he helps identify people for Wil and tells her what they are wearing. He doesn't even care that she keeps calling him Jason. He explains "You can call me whatever you want, I love you." Aw, why do I want these two to have their own series?! I could watch that all day!
Meanwhile, Hilda has found her way backstage and is helping to style the models' hair. Hilda likes doing it, and even wonders if she can make a career out of it. Personally, I don't love the hairstyle Hilda's come up with, but I know from watching America's Next Top Model that supermodels can get away with different looks than the rest of us. A supermodel can wear a gigantic teased 'fro and people say "How fashionable!" Yet if I tried the same style, I'd look like a pear with a 'fro, which doesn't seem fashionable at all.
Betty isn't so worried about the hairstyle, though. She's more upset that Hilda isn't doing her job. Hilda and Betty get into a fight. This fight involves spraying hairspray at each other, which just seems sticky to me. But when a model lights a cigarette, the model's hair catches on fire. And then Betty fires Hilda. I'm hoping this means that the 'fro won't be the It Hairstyle for 2007.
Meanwhile, Daniel is chatting with Alexis. When Betty interrupts, flustered with the details of the show, Daniel reassures her that she's doing a great job. He says that he's going to make sure that she gets the credit for everything she's doing. Alexis is listening to all of this, and tells Daniel that he's not the Daniel Meade that she thought he'd be. Alexis says that she has a confession to make... She used to date his brother. OK, so Alexis is doing this in babysteps.
Marc and Amanda are still trying to figure out how to get the skirt from the model. Amanda decides that Marc should seduce the model to get her out of the skirt and then steal it. This is a horrible plan for more than one reason. The first is obviously sending Marc to seduce any woman. The second is that it seems overly complex. Why don't they just take a picture of the skirt and use that? I find it hard to believe that Eternal 18 needs the actual skirt before they can knock it off.

Haha, another great recap!
I really hope this Betty/Henry hook up is soon. I am tired of Walter and his stupidness. Bring on Henry with nerdy cuteness. And also, I can see Wil and Alexis butting heads. Very exciting for next week's episode.

I'm still processing all the twists and turns...once my dizzyness subsides I'll have smarter comments. Thanks for the re-cap. Oh, by the way "Nacho" is a common nickname for the formal name Ignacio. Not racist at all.

Anyone else reminded of Dynasty when Rebecca Romijn said her name was "Alexis"? All I could think of was Alexis Carrington/Colby

Earth to Christina: duh! The writers having her say "you used me" was pretty stupid. Otherwise, a great episode.
Telenovelas rock. American soaps SUCK by comparison.
