Episode Report Card Potes: D | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Sofia's Choice
By Potes | Season 1 | Episode 12 | Aired on 01.10.2007
When we return, Bradford and Daniel hang out. Bradford says that he's going to go down and fire Sofia. Daniel says that it's for Bradford to do whatever he wants, but that if he were CEO, he'd sign Sofia to a long-term contract. He says that the stunt she pulled will probably guarantee the single biggest launch of any magazine in the company's history. Bradford says that Sofia hurt Daniel, and Daniel sadly says that it was just business. Oh, Daniel is all jaded and it's the end of the innocence and he's singing a song of experience! Sad times. Bradford pats Daniel on the shoulder. Daniel heads to the elevator, and almost wants to get out on the 28th floor. Instead, he presses 1 and goes to find a hooker to console him.
Sofia heads back to the MYW offices and gets a round of applause. But not from Betty! Betty tells Sofia that she betrayed her, manipulated her, and lied to her face about Daniel. Sofia says that she did lie, but not about Betty's potential or abilities. She says that's why she hired Betty, and that she sees a lot of herself in Betty. Betty says that she doesn't see any of herself in Sofia. Well, no. I mean, Sofia's stacked. Betty hands Sofia her article about working at Mode. She says that, while researching it, she realized that the people there are superficial, but that they know it, and they don't pretend to be anything more than they are. Oooh, burn. She says that she fits in better there than she does at MYW, and quits. How's that for cojones? Sofia's got nothing to say, because she feels kind of bad about being so totally evil, and this is her painful moment of reckoning. I think all mean people should lose their assistants.
Meanwhile, Ignacio has found an apartment lease from 1977. I'd say hooray, but I'm kind of bored by this subplot. Constance says that will work, and thanks him for his cooperation. Ignacio then apologizes for getting off on the wrong foot with her, and gives her a little mug with candy and flowers that reads, "World's Best Immigration Worker." Constance is duly touched, and hugs Ignacio likes she means it. I mean, like she MEANS it. She says adios, and that she hopes to be seeing a lot of Igancio. Including Little Iggy, if you know what I'm saying. Poor Ignacio. He gains his citizenship only to be crushed by an INS worker.
And then, Sofia gets in an elevator with Amanda, who beats her senseless with a handbag. Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Betty heads back to the Mode offices, where she hunts down Marc and asks where Daniel is. Marc says that bird has flown. That morning, Daniel had his driver take him to JFK instead of coming to the office, and no one knows where he is. He's disappeared! And with a panicked look from Betty, we are out.
