Episode Report Card Monty Ashley: D | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT And Tacos Are Coming!

Daniel is looking at something neat when Molly walks up. "Oh, perfect timing!" says Daniel, although it sounds more like he's saying "Oh, Perfect Tommy!" I guess it's an unlikely spot for a Buckaroo Banzai reference, though. Daniel and Molly are getting a walkthrough of a wedding gift guide from an emphatically guy gentleman who is pointedly unhappy about not being allowed to get married himself. He also keeps talking about how long they'll be married and how they should make long-term plans. Molly freaks out about this, because she's dying.
Queens. Ignacio answers the phone, which is a call for Elena. He offers to take a message. Then he looks serious and says he'll be sure to ask her.
Wilhelmina and Claire walk into Cal Hartley's office. Wili tells him that she runs the top fashion magazine in the world, while Claire runs an insert. Wili claims that she avoids three "C"s: Collaboration, Compromise and Claire. "And trust me, I chose the nice 'C' there." Claire admits that Wili's right. Although she liked her own idea better, the spread will never get done with both of them on it. Cal takes Claire off the project, which makes me wonder just how much of the company he now owns. It also makes me wonder if maybe Daniel, who's supposedly half in charge of the magazine, might want to take an interest at some point.
The Betty-Matt confrontation takes place while Betty is adjusting leather straps on crazy-looking guys who I initially took for mannequins. They don't look as cool as Heinrich's Pain Fashion, but I admit that I'd be interested in a band that looked like this. Matt's angry that Betty may have gotten him to rejoin Y.E.T.I. just so she could use the planetarium. That's the planetarium that he originally claimed he could deliver, right? Just checking. Betty admits that she did watch the slide show, and Matt claims that Tiny never died. He never killed that elephant! Matt says that he changes things a lot because he likes challenges and then gets angry at Betty. When she says he starts things he doesn't finish, his answer of "Oh, what? Like a Y.E.T.I. project?" is impressively contemptuous. Matt claims to have changed his mind about caring about this project, and Betty asks if that means he'll change his mind about the two of them, too. There's a good crack in her voice there.
Marc interrupts the shouting match to tell them that Adele's manager has declared this photo shoot "amateur hour" (which it technically is, although I can't help but notice that they've got an awful lot of people there, what with the professional models and makeup people and lighting -- I wonder where they got the money for all this) and pulled Adele. Marc goes with his only other option and calls Jody (that's Bernadette Peters) and puts on his butch voice as he asks her out for a beer and straight porn. Matt sulks off.
