And speaking of someone who could stand to eat some chips, we cut to Wilhelmina and the Bandage Lady sitting in two white chaise longues. (Does any evil person on this show sit in an actual chair?) A tough-looking guy tells them that he has emails, voicemails, phone records, and the location of the red car -- everything that's required to put Bradford Meade away for the death of Fey Sommers. What he wants is a cool Dr. Evil-style $1,000,000. Bandage Lady asks if she looks like she's made of money. Have I mentioned that her head wrapping has Ben Franklin all over it? The tough guy says that the fee is non-negotiable, and that they have twenty-four hours. After he leaves, Bandage Lady notes that he leaves a bit of a stench. Well, she's the one with the weeping sores. Wilhelmina sprays a little perfume and notes that he does have what they're looking for. Bandage Lady says that once she hands over the money, they have to be prepared for an immediate takeover. She says that Wilhelmina could be Editor-in-Chief as soon as Monday, and if there's anyone at Mode that she doesn't trust, she needs to fumigate. Or atomize, maybe? That sounds more dramatic. Wilhelmina sprays her perfume again and cackles. Would that she only had a handlebar moustache to twist.
Back at the Mexican restaurant, Hilda watches footage of the Herbalux scandal. A woman on the news says that she's supposed to get married soon, and then whips off a head wrap to reveal her bald self. Hilda yells at the TV that if someone was going to marry the lady with that nose, the bald head shouldn't make such a difference. Betty, in her chip sombrero, comes over to serve Hilda, saying that she doesn't think Hilda needs another margarita. Hilda says that she's done, and that they should go home, and asks if Betty will help her to fake a résumé. Betty says that she was planning on going to the city: Daniel is coming home from Rio the next day, and Betty wants to stock his fridge and pick up his dry cleaning. Awww. Hilda asks why Betty would do that when she's not his assistant anymore. I suspected it was because she was angling to get her job back, but Betty actually just feels guilty about her part in the whole Sofia mess. She says that if she hadn't pushed Daniel to propose, none of this would have happened; she wants to make his homecoming a little easier. Hilda says that Betty is a good person, before noting that she has a chip in her hair. And you know what you shouldn't do when you have a chip-filled sombrero on your head? Look down.
