By Potes | Season 1 | Episode 11 | Aired on 01.03.2007
Wilhelmina asks brightly if they should head to dinner. Enter Bradford (followed by Henry!), who says that actually, Wilhelmina has more pressing business. It's about the last issue's shoot in Rio. Betty gets a little smile. Bradford says that he doesn't mind paying for props and extras, but he takes great exception to financing Wilhelmina's Brazilian butt lift. Ho! Everyone gets reeeeeally quiet when he says this. And I'm so sure that he would do this in front of a client, but this show requires a certain suspension of disbelief. Wilhelmina is busted. Wilhelmina turns to Daniel and says that she's sure they'll all have a wonderful dinner without her. As she walks away, she pauses for a moment and says deadpan with a little sashay, "Stop looking at it." That was awesome. And really... I can't! Vanessa Williams has a really hot ass. In any case, despite this quite awesome victory, all is not well. Daniel says to Betty that it might as well be Oshi walking out the door. Betty says that they have a plan B, but Daniel says that they don't, and in fact, are screwed. Try to hold your suspense throughout the commercial break!
Oshi and his entourage head out in front of Betty and Daniel, who whispers that this cockamamie scheme had better work. Betty says that Oshi likes round, he likes white, he likes minimal, so it's perfect. They're going to feed him bleached Necco Wafers? Or pick out all the white Smarties? Bradford pops up to ask Daniel if he's taking Oshi somewhere special. Daniel says they're going somewhere unique. Bradford reminds Daniel that he's on his own dime and tells him not to lose Oshi. Betty says confidently that he won't. Bradford is all, "Who's this dumpy chick again?" He bows to Oshi, and as he goes down we see Wilhelmina and Henry in the office behind his head. Wilhelmina yells, "Good luck returning my ass!" Nice delivery, there, Vanessa Williams! Meanwhile, Oshi wants to know where they're going. Daniel answers, "... New Jersey." Why, it's just SO crazy that it might work!
They pull up to a poorly lit parking lot, where Daniel first says holy crap, and then that he can feel that this is going to be a disaster. Oshi, via his hilarious translator, yells, "What! Place! Is! This! Where have you brought me?" Turns out, it's hamburger chain "White Tassel." Betty helpful explains that it's clean, white, and minimal. And there's round food inside! Really, what could be more perfect? And, of course, Oshi likes it! Applause all around for Betty, who saves the day once again!
