Back on the bus, Betty tells Hilda that they should be close to their grandmother's place, which Mierta described as a little blue house outside of Via Nueva. Get it? Via Nueva. Hilda says that she just wants to go home, and notes that the quesadilla isn't sitting so well. Betty says, "Oh really? Because usually when you buy cheese cooked on a bus it's pretty good." Oooh, you just do not know where cheese served on a bus came from, but something tells me you might find a toenail in it. Hilda asks what Betty is hoping to get out of this. Betty says that she doesn't know, but after what the curandera said and after finding out that Yolanda is still alive, Betty feels like she's supposed to meet her. Hilda again says that Yolanda doesn't want to meet them. This moment of sisterly tension is interrupted by another Henry sighting. Betty is sure that it's him this time, and, as the bus is stopped, she runs off of it. Hilda follows, and while they argue, of course, the bus drives off. Hilda is enraged, and she asks what they're going to do now. They do seem to be in the middle of nowhere. Betty says that she thinks there's a town a couple of miles back, and Hilda throws her quesadilla wrapper at Betty. As Hilda berates Betty and threatens to throw her bouquet in the direction of Gina Gambarro, the sisters walk, and we head to commercials.
When we return, we are at Tavares's loft. Marc sweeps in and steals Amanda, with apologies to the man she's talking to, whom he calls Mr. Gosset Jr. -- hee! -- telling her that he saw her kissing Tavares. He says that she's in love with a gay man, and it's like her and him all over again. Amanda denies ever being in love with Marc, and he says that when they first met, she couldn't keep her eyes off of him. She says that was before he got veneers, and she couldn't look away from his one weird, dark tooth. They go through a round of, "Big head, dark tooth, Nicole Bitchie, Nelly Ripa," before Marc tells her that it's sad, and Tavares is gay. Amanda pulls him even further from the crowd and confesses that in fact, he's not, and is just pretending to be gay to get ahead in the fashion world. Marc notes that that's a new twist on an old standard, and Amanda makes him promise not to tell anyone. Marc tells her that she's with another guy who's keeping her a secret, and that it's like Daniel all over again. He says that she's fabulous, and asks why she doesn't think she deserves a real relationship, adding, "Come out of the closet, sweetie. I promise, it's better." Preach it, sister. Amanda says that it's okay and she knows what she's doing, and Marc looks hurt on her behalf.
