Meanwhile, Alexis is in Daniel's office searching for the secret love dungeon. Amanda catches her in the act, and Alexis says that she's just feeling the walls. The things that a high-pressure job will drive you to do. Amanda tells Alexis that Nick left, mentioning something about cheerleading finals on cable and cocaine. She says that she's there as long as Alexis needs her, and Alexis cuts her off with a curt, "I don't. Good night." Amanda finally bucks up and asks if Alexis ever even thought of hiring Amanda as her assistant, since everyone knows she wants to get a leg up at Mode. Alexis says that Amanda also had two legs up with Daniel, which is a problem. Amanda counters that that's ancient history, but Alexis sternly says that they just aren't a good fit. Amanda tells Alexis that it's too bad, because she knows Mode inside and out -- who stole what, who's sleeping with whom, etc. She even knew that Janie in Styles was pregnant before she did, and also knows that the baby isn't her husband's or her boyfriend's. Oh my God, it's totally Daniel's.
Alexis gets one of those little light bulbs above her head and asks if Amanda's ever heard of a secret room. Amanda says, "You mean the love dungeon?" She continues, saying that the love dungeon doesn't actually exist -- it was just Fey's way of saying that she was hung over and wanted to go home. Hey, can I get a love dungeon, too? Amanda says that if Alexis had hired her, she'd already know that. Alexis kindly says that maybe she made a mistake, and if anything happens to Nick, Amanda's next in line. Amanda asks if this might include Nick falling down the stairs, and Alexis says that she was thinking that he might get married and move away, but she likes Amanda's ambition. She gives Amanda a shove and tells her to pick something out for herself from the closet. Or should I say...the clungeon.
Back at Prague, we have a red hat making its way through the crowd, Daniel with a model grinding on top of him, and Betty yelling his name really loudly. Daniel of course doesn't hear her over the sounds of throbbing techno music, or over the sounds of his throbbing nether regions. As the hat gets closer to Daniel, Betty panics and goes into crazy assistant mode. She grabs the DJ's microphone, stops the music, and says, "Daniel, this is Betty. If you hear me, Quincy Combs is in the house. Save yourself, go out the back door!" Daniel is all, "The hell?", along with everyone else in the club. And then, of course, it turns out that Quincy Combs isn't Quincy Combs at all, but merely a stylish woman wearing une belle chapeau. I would guess that Betty is feeling awfully stupid right about now.
