By Potes | Season 1 | Episode 12 | Aired on 01.10.2007
And this, of course, leads Sofia to proudly proclaim that that is her lead article. "From fling to ring in 60 days: Techniques to make you get the man you want in 60 days." Grammatical awkwardness aside, Sofia say that if these rules work for her with Daniel Meade, they'll work for any woman out there. One of the hosts asks Daniel if he knew that Sofia was trying to get him to propose. Daniel says no, and that they met and fell in love. Sofia says that, actually, Daniel fell in love. But she has to tell him that, as great as she thinks he is, right now she wants to focus on her career. And she gives him back his ring! On the air! And then says, "Thank you for being such a good sport!" Dude, that is harsh. The hosts get all awkward, because Daniel has been punk'd. He looks totally heartbroken. Meanwhile, everyone is watching. Bradford and Claire, the Suarezes, Amanda and the rest of the office, and all of Times Square, and Marc, who says that even he is shedding a silent tear. Wilhelmina says that she guesses none of them can have it all, but that there's no reason not to keep trying. With that, she tosses the armadillo in the wastebasket. Marc is pleased. He says that the mysterious Steve guy called again about Bradford, and Wili tells Marc to get him on the phone. Ah, yes...the bitch is back. And it feels so good. Oh wait, that's a different song. But still, there's one perfect fit, and sugar, this one is it.
Betty watches the monitor on the set of Rise And Shine America and looks really sad. The show wraps, and Daniel quickly walks offstage. Sofia follows him, and Daniel asks how she could do that to him. He says that he fell in love with her, and she used him for a publicity stunt. Sofia asks how many times he has done exactly the same thing to dozens of women. Um, dozens, maybe? She asks how many times he's broken their hearts and dumped them, and he says he can guarantee that he's never done it on national television. Sofia says that this wasn't easy for her. She thought it would be, but it wasn't, but when she starts something, she has to follow through. That's kind of a fucked-up philosophy, if you ask me. She says that Daniel can call her a bitch, but that this is how she got to where she is today. Otherwise, she'd still be cleaning houses in Mexico. She says that, for what it's worth, Daniel was so much more than she ever thought he would be, and she's sorry. Daniel just walks away. Oh, poor Daniel! Sofia is left with only her giant heaving bosom to comfort her. Betty sees Daniel in the hallway and tries to follow him, saying she's so sorry. He just walks by with a dazed look on his face as we head to commercials.
