Well, it looks as though Betty is not all that happy working for "Player" magazine. She tries to convince Daniel to get back to "Mode" but Wilhelmina will not have it. So Willie asks Betty if she would like to work for her at "Mode", and Betty accepts!
Wilhelmina tests Betty by giving her an impossible task, but Betty surprises her by doing it. What was the task, you ask? Betty had to get a tiara from a museum, and Betty being herself, talked to the person who runs the place and connected in a conversation and in turn ...returned to Mode with the tiara and 2 guards. This impressed Willie because only one other person has been able to do it. Who...you ask? Willie of course... when she was Fey's assistant. Surprised?.....NOT! Willie now puts Betty in charge of Launch Party. Marc is not happy!
Now, as far as Daniel and his son (DJ): Daniel is told that DJ's grandparents want to fight for custody. Daniel is afraid to tell him because he is afraid DJ will say he wants to go to France to be with the grandparents. So later in the episode he asks DJ what he wants do. DJ says he wants to stay with his father. I feel a big custody battle in a courtroom, coming.
Betty finds out that there is another woman in Tony's (coach) life after getting his cell off of Amanda (funny scene with Marc and Amanda drooling over Tony at Mode). So when Betty talks with Hilda, Hilda explains that it is his wife. Betty goes off saying how stupid Hilda is to see him when he is married, and that there is no future in this relationship,blah, blah, blah....(does she remember a certain Henry relationship?) Just saying....
So now Betty has a little daydream where she is like Willie and I must say the hairstyle and talk were perfect impressions of Willie. She wakes up and realizes she doesn't want to be like that. She gets a mailbag of letters (Marc gave her) and finds it full of positive feedback to Daniel when he was Editor-in-Chief(Willie held them). She takes them to him and tells him to fight for what he wants.
Christina and Betty talk ,and Christina feels something is going on with Stewart. So she has a hair sample tested. She tells him they came back positive for Oxy Cotton and Heroin. She is so angry she is ready to call immigration to have him deported. I knew it...I had a sneaky suspicion about him.
Now it brings us to the Launch Party.
Betty decides she doesn't want to work for Willie and gives her 2 weeks notice. Then, in walks Daniel and Alexis and announces that Wilhelmina's first issue is the lowest selling one Mode has ever had. Then Alexis gives Daniel his job as Editor-in-Chief back, and he in turn wants Betty back. Betty accepts, if she can keep her raise.(You go girl!). How many times has she asked or deserved a raise? I count at least 4.
Now the crazy ending....Christina is waiting for the elevator and decides to just take the stairs. As she is approaching the top of the stairs, someone pushes her down all the steps. Now she is lying unconscious at the bottom. Who did it? Why?
Was it Stewart- to get back at her?
One of the Meade's- to get rid of Willies heir?
Someone else?
We will have to wait and see.
What did you think of the episode? Let me know in the comments, give me your two cents.
Thanks for listening

I thought this episode was better. The Betty/Willie nightmare was very fun and spot on.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, with all the back-and-forth of who is editor-in-chief of Mode, it's a wonder they're ever able to put out a magazine. So now that Daniel is back, will the Mode offices go back to orange?
I wasn't thrilled with the ending - Christina getting pushed down the stairs. Too cliche soap opera for my taste. I wish the writers would come up with some more original ideas.
I think the set WILL go back to orange. Did you notice the "shelf items"? black branches with black balls hanging on it.
ReplyDeleteAs for Christina....as she stood waiting for the elevator and then went for the stairs..... i think everyone watching was saying "oh God, something is going to happen". The question is who? Think maybe this is their way of getting Alexis out of the picture for a while? Rebecca is preggie y'know.
I hadn't thought of that angle with Alexis. She's already starting to get really big and they can only hide her behind so many desks and voluminous blouses!
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY! Even my husband noticed that she was getting bigger. So that is just my opinion, that maybe she did it and she will spend time in jail or in hiding, maybe.
