And speaking of first courses, Betty and Henry are apparently in the mood for Italian. It's date night, and a violinist and rose peddler pass by the table. Betty has to tell them that Henry knocked up another lady so they'll leave them alone. Henry confesses that hearing that Betty was on a date made him jealous. The whole scene is a little much for her, and she tries to leave. Henry somehow ends up on a knee, which makes the rest of the restaurant think he's proposing. Betty tells Henry she can't do this and walks out as we head to commercials. And she never even had the pleasure of finding the ring in her mozzarella stick!
When we return, an ill-looking Alexis confesses to Daniel that she remembers everything, and is furious that Bradford has been lying to her when before the accident he hated her. Daniel says that Bradford saw the accident as a way to start over. And speaking of the accident, Alexis confesses that she had someone cut the brakes on Bradford's car, so it's really her fault. Now it's Daniel's turn to be furious. Alexis says she's sorry, and begs Daniel not to tell him. Daniel says Bradford wouldn't believe him anyway. They really do put the "funk" in dysfunctional.
Hilda, meanwhile, finally talks to Justin. He gives her some sass about her finally wanting to be a mother again, but relents when she says that she'd do anything in the world to bring Santos back. She tells Justin it's just the two of them, and she's getting scared because they're moving apart. Hilda says that the way Justin has been acting is not him, and Justin replies that he just wants Santos to be proud of him. Hilda tells him that Santos was and is proud of Justin just the way he is. The two have a good cry, and this hopefully means that we'll see the Justin we know and love next week.
Meanwhile, guess where Marc is? At Cliff's apartment! That's a Cliff-banger for ya! Cliff does a little "you picked me over an underwear model" dance, and the two cozy up on the couch to watch Psycho. Marc holds an appletini, the two play footsies, and all is right in the world.
Elsewhere, Betty walks home and gets a call from Henry, who doesn't want things to end like this. Betty asks if that's why he followed her all the way home. Busted! He's right behind her. Henry, so sweet, says that no, he followed her because he doesn't like her walking alone at night. Awww. If he were in his underwear again right now, he'd be the perfect guy. Betty doesn't want him to be so nice, because it makes it harder for her to walk away from him. He says they've tried avoiding each other, and tried being friends, and nothing has worked. He asks if she wants him to leave Mode, and her silence speaks volumes. He says he'll give his notice on Monday. Betty heads inside as Henry looks hurt. He stares after her for a moment, then turns to leave. And then, lo! A week before Halloween miracle! Betty comes back outside and says there's another option. And then plants one on Henry! She says she know she's leaving in five months, and that everyone will say it's a big mistake, and that she's going to get her heart broken. But maybe it's worth it. Henry asks if she's sure. Oh, she's sure. In fact, I think she's sure with tongue. Hot lovin' for everyone!
