Back at Casa de Suarez, Ignacio returns home to find three geriatric women on his couch. They're Hilda's new friends from the cemetery, and have also lost their husbands -- two by the same old same old heart attack/liver failure, and one by a stroke on a cruise. You don't get your money back, she says, which is one of the many factors that will cause me never to take a cruise. I saw the Dateline. The women, including Hilda, are making a quilt from their dead husbands' shirts. Three-quarters of that quilt will smell like mothballs.
Meanwhile, back at the flirty photo shoot, Cliff explains to Marc that his concept was inspired by Rear Window. Turns out Cliff is a Hitchcock buff. Marc, who has never seen Rear Window nor Psycho, is simply a cock buff, as he makes eyes at one of the underwear models. Cliff says that Marc has to go with him to see Psycho at the Film Forum tomorrow, and suggests having a beer first. Marc says it sounds like fun, but make it an appletini. Cliff looks kind of excited, but Marc is oblivious as he works up the nerve to ask out dumb underwear guy. He's so intent on it that he can't even join Amanda in mocking Betty's internet dating attempts.
Elsewhere, Wili suggests printing on rice paper and using soy ink to cut costs. Daniel and Alexis are skeptical, and Wili says that they both got the magazine into the advertising situation, but luckily she's there to "help." Wili's "help" always has quotation marks around it. She asks how they feel about free detergent samples. I'll tell you how I feel: Oooh! Free detergent samples.
Kenny, meanwhile, runs interference between Betty and Henry. He tells Betty that not even porn and malt liquor can heal the damage that she's inflicted. That's because Henry isn't Billy Dee Williams. Betty tells Kenny that he's from Greenwich, and to stop fronting. Christina comes over, and Kenny tells her to have her friend throw Henry a Betty biscuit before he leaves for Tucks-on. Kenny does have a point that Tucson is not at all pronounced how it's spelled. I have the same problem with Worcester, which I pronounced wore-cest-er for her. How you get "Woo-stah" out of that, I have no idea. But no matter, because Betty has a bunch of replies to her online dating profile! The bulk of them are from Amanda in the guise of "ilovetacos" and "ilovechurros," but a certain NiceGuy47 catches Betty's attention with an invitation to go bowling. Betty replies, and Christina tells her to reply again, because she's typed, "I love blowing." As you do. Commercials.
