Meanwhile, Bradford orders Claire's lawyer to defend his wife without reducing her to a raving sociopath. As opposed to the mellow, often anesthetized sociopath she was previously. And speaking of sociopaths, short-skirted, cleavage-enhanced Wilhelmina enters his office with some sales reports. Sadly for her, Bradford is too perturbed to be entranced by her heaving bosom, even when she offers it for comfort. She says that things must be hard for him, as his children live only to embarrass him and his wife took away Mode, the most precious jewel in his crown. If Bradford were into her, this would be the perfect time for him to reply, "Not the MOST precious, if you know what I mean, pussycat." Wili and her boobs want Bradford to know that he's not alone. She slides a hand down his shoulder to emphasize the point. And Bradford? Pats her hand. Oh, the pat. We've all been there at some point, haven't we? Wili is seething.
Meanwhile, Amanda continues angling to get Nick's job. She barges into Alexis' office with a poster, saying that she didn't want her to have to wait for Nick to get off his personal call to get it. Turns out it's the blueprints for the Mode office. Sometimes a secret love dungeon is the best kind of buried treasure one could find.
Back at Prague, Betty is leaving a message for Daniel alerting him to Quincy's scheme. Christina catches her in the act, and Betty says that they didn't actually talk, and that she's glad to be out having fun, and woo-hoo! She notes that they even have free Jell-O, then downs a Jell-O shot, saying that they didn't have that flavor when she was a kid. Christina isn't mad, though, because she's just met two blokes at the bar, one of whom might be Betty's "Mr. Big." Indeed, "big" is the operative word. The guy's name is Ben, or as I'm sure he would be called hither and yon, "Big Ben." Christina tells Betty that Ben and his friend Kevin were setting up audio equipment at fashion week. I love how Christina always goes for the working man. Betty instantly asks them if they saw Christina's designs, and notes that New York magazine said that they were most impressive. Christina hushes her and grabs Kevin for a dance. Betty and Big Ben have awkward silence, then awkward small talk. Betty can't resist mentioning Daniel, who went to tennis camp in Big Ben's hometown, but then catches herself and says that she doesn't want to talk about him anymore. She suggests that she and Ben dance. Ben says he can't dance. I believe it. Betty says that they can both try. Yet another situation bound to end well.
