Episode Report Card Potes: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Derailed
By Potes | Season 1 | Episode 16 | Aired on 02.14.2007
Meanwhile, Christina is freaking out. Every vendor in the city is closed due to the snowstorm. Marc notes that she needs fabric for the Sarah Jessica Parker dress, and Christina says that word has gotten around. Marc takes one look at her sketches and shoots them all down. Christina tells him that he's the one gay she doesn't like, and that he should piss off, because he's confusing her. Marc says that he's saving her, and suggests that she "repurpose" some fabric that's lying around the closet. Christina says that she can't -- it's Sarah Jessica Parker, and if Christina uses fabric from another designer, (a) she'll know; and (b) it will singe her flesh. Finally, Joan Rivers would not be the only one to look like a burn victim on the red carpet. Marc says that they need to think outside the box, and Christina is all, "'We'?" Marc says that sometimes it's good to be on a team, and scurries off.
Outside, Betty and Charlie are heading to the party. Charlie asks if the subway is really the safest way to go. Betty says that it's perfectly safe -- plus, all the cabs are off-duty. Charlie asks about the mole people, and Betty says that they're just misunderstood. Charlie doesn't know why Henry wants to live in the city, and says that they need accountants in Tucson, too. Betty says that maybe Henry has bigger dreams than that. Nice one.
In the subway, Betty gives a dollar to a bucket drummer, and Charlie says that's nice, but wonders if Betty doesn't think that he'll go spend it on crack. Betty looks over, and suddenly it's a dreadlocked Amanda playing the drums. She says it's lovely that Henry's girlfriend thinks Betty's nice, and then advises Betty to hit her. Heh. Charlie asks if Betty's seeing someone, and Betty says that she just broke up with someone. Charlie says that it's his loss, and that she's sure Betty will find someone soon. Suddenly, another phantom Amanda skates by and says that Betty did have someone and Charlie stole him. She tells Betty to push Stevie Nicks in front of the train. That would be a lot of diaphanous scarf roadkill on the tracks. As the subway comes and the crowd starts to push, Charlie freaks out and tells Betty not to let go of her hand. A threesome of phantom Amandas tell Betty that this is her chance to lose Charlie, and that soon she'll be on the next bus to Tucson. And then Betty actually does it! The subway doors close and Charlie's inside while Betty's still out. Charlie freaks out, and Betty runs alongside the subway yelling for Charlie to get off at the next stop and come back. Dreadlocked Phantom Amanda comes up to Betty and compliments her on her bitch move as we head to commercials.
