Once the "My sister! My daughter! My sister! My daughter!" evildoers leave, Betty takes a deep breath, reminds herself that it's just a job, and enters Daniel's office. He sighs that he's so glad that she's there. Before he can say more, she mechanically gives him his messages -- he left his pants at Bungalow 8, and someone named Monique is wondering if he's still taking her to dinner on Friday, and if not, Wilmer Valderrama's in second position. Wilmer Valderrama is in the second position of life. Daniel asks if they can talk about Friday, and Betty curtly says that there's no need, and that the cafeteria is out of bagels, so she's going to get him one from the kiosk. Daniel asks if she's really not going to let him say anything, and she shoots back that he already said it all -- he's her boss and she's his assistant. She says that she'll be back in ten and leaves. See above about Daniel crapping his pants.
Meanwhile, Wilhelmina enters her office with the much-hated bottle of Viagra, saying that she'd love to get her hands on the man who invented them -- and she's sure that it's a man. She tells Marc to replace them with something. Well, anything but cyanide, because she needs the old coot alive. But not ALL of him alive. Seriously, Bradford needs to put it away. Marc asks if Little Bradford is keeping her up at night. Wili says that she tries to nod off, but when the finish line approaches, he starts howling like a wounded beagle. Marc asks if it's really worth it, and Wili says that the only way she can run the empire is if she marries the horndog. I believe those words were once spoken by a certain senator from New York. Marc notes that there's still a current Mrs. Horndog, and asks what Wili wants to do about her. Wili says first things first. Marc says that he's no expert on moving beyond the sex (because, why?) but if she wants to move from mistress to Mrs., she needs to make herself a little more indispensable -- find the thorn in his paw and pull it out. Wili gives an impressed "Out of the mouths of gays," and Marc is in love with himself for a minute.
Meanwhile, Bradford is meeting with his thorn. He has given Alexis a check for $10 million. It's all hers if she resigns from Mode and disappears for good. See, generally $10 million will make people do things that $75,000 won't. Bradford says that he has one child now -- Daniel -- and that Daniel should be running Mode. Alexis calls Bradford a stupid son of a bitch and tells him that he doesn't get it. She's not going anywhere until she's made him pay for everything that he's done to her. So I guess that tender father-child reunion isn't only a motion away. Quelle dommage.
