Back at Mode, Jordan is impressed by how cool Daniel was when he bungeed. But doesn't being unimpressed by how tool-ish he is generally kind of cancel that out? He wants to have more wild and crazy adventures, and Jordan says she can't believe how much like Alex he's become. He seductively says that he's much better than Alex. Much better than Alex Trebek, maybe. Nah, actually probably not even that. Trebek at least has the right to lord his perfect pronunciation of everything over you. Daniel confesses that the whole time Jordan dated Alex, he had a little crush on her. She replies, "You don't think I knew?" and Daniel leans in and gives her a big smackaroo right on the lips. You know what your therapist might not advise? Hooking up with the brother of the ex you thought was dead but actually had a sex change operation. I'm just saying. But hey, I don't bungee jump either, so what do I know?
Cut to Tavares's big party. Wilhelmina, who in her gold dress with giant bow looks like a pair of nipples about to be given as a Christmas present, introduces Tavares to Sebastian, the buyer for Barney's, and Sebastian's date, Kenneth. Sebastian says that his date is actually Keith -- he broke up with Kenneth when he found him making out with a waiter at a ready-to-wear show in Paris. Tavares limp wrists, "Pret-a-poor-taste," and Amanda laughs gleefully while Marc looks on with a scowl. Wili says, "Well, this is fun," then hightails it out of there. Sebastian compliments Tavares on his designs, and Amanda notes that they'll be showing some of Tavares's best work later and grabs his arm lovingly. Tavares removes her hands, saying, "And the greasy paws are on the Prada!" He dismissively tells her to get him a drink. Marc scowls even more furiously. When Amanda meets up with Marc at the bar, he notes that Tavares is a mean gay. She says that Marc is too, but Marc says that he isn't to her. She reminds Marc of how yesterday he told her that her head was too big for her neck, and he says that was just constructive criticism. We all need friends like that.
This touching moment is interrupted by a series of, "Oh my God"s, and the entrance of one Brad Meade. In addition to an even fancier shiny jacket with snakeskin shoulders, Brad is sporting a stud earring, dyed hair, and a shirt made from the pelt of Tony the Tiger. He looks like the keytar player for Men Without Hats. Except what he needs to do is look at his hands, and then go home and use them to put on a new outfit. He stands with his hands in his pockets, impressed with himself. Wili says "wow" a few times, then notes that Brad is back. God help us.
