And then, we're at Wili's apartment. She opens the fridge, which contains a jar of capers, a jar of cocktail onions, and a jar of caviar. She grabs the caviar and starts eating it with her finger. A larger woman comes out of another room, much to Wili's shock. It is Evelyn, her cleaning lady of thirteen years, whom she has never met. Wili says that it's nice to put a face with the burrito wrapper left on her counter. Heh. Also: mmm, burrito. Evelyn asks what Wilhelmina is doing home in the middle of the day, and Wili says that she took the afternoon off. Evelyn says that women like them never take the afternoon off, because their careers always come first. Wili says that maybe women like them need to learn that there's more to life than work, and offers Evelyn some caviar. For a while, I totally thought that this subplot was going to transition either into some weird road-buddy Thelma & Louise-esque thing, or improbable lesbian love. Either way, I was pretty excited.
Back in Queens, Santos and Hilda discuss Justin. Santos thinks he's a big queen, and that's why he's getting beat up; Hilda just wants Justin to be who he is and gives Santos the absentee-father runaround; Santos says that whether Hilda likes it or not, Justin asked him to pick him up from school today; Santos asks for a beer. You know, pretty much their same old routine.
Back at the spa, Claire bathes in rose petals, and Betty bathes in mud with mitts on her hands. Betty's phone goes off, and the ringer is totally "La Cucaracha." See, she's just asking for all those Juan Valdez jokes now. Claire asks if she passed out in a Mexican whorehouse again. Betty, with the aforementioned mitts, asks if Claire can check her phone, since it might be Daniel. Claire stands right up, giving Betty a glimpse of her backside, and says that it's a guy with no chin and permanent bedhead. Betty says that's Walter. Claire reports that he says he has a big surprise for Betty, and then there's what looks to be a smiley face. I love how Claire is both shocked and horrified at the text message smiley face. Betty says that he likes to do that, and also to make a clown face out of the "a" in Walter. Claire deadpans, "Hot." The phone goes off again, and Claire says that Walter is a pain in the ass and that Betty should break up with him already. Voicing the opinions of millions, is Claire. Betty says it's not that easy, because Walter loves her. Claire says that, according to his latest message, Walter "wuvs" her." She asks why Betty's holding on to him, and threatens to stand up again unless Betty gives her an answer. Betty says that before her mom died, she told Betty that the most important thing in life is to find someone who loves you. And when you do, you should hold on to him no matter what, because in the end that's what really matters. Oh, that is so sad. Claire says that if Betty's mother were here right now, all she'd want to know is that Betty is happy. And Betty is not happy right now. I love how Claire and Betty are bonding! Claire breaks up this Hallmark moment by saying that she has to pee, and then standing up again.
