Back at Mode, Rodrigo enters Alexis' office. Turns out, she's decided to accept his invitation. But, she says, there's something they should talk about first. Wow. Having to tell your date that you used to be a man must be even more awkward than telling your date that you have herpes. And just think, poor Paris Hilton has to do both! But, in fact, Rodrigo already knows. Alexis is surprised that the news made it to Brazil, and Rodrigo says that she's international, like the House Of Pancakes. More like the House Of Mancakes. Rodrigo says that he doesn't care who she was -- he wants to know who she is now. He gives her a kiss and leaves, saying that he'll see her for dinner at eight.
It is evening. Betty goes to the closet to look for Christina, who isn't there. She starts to write her a note on a post-it, but, as in all difficult situations, can only think about how much she wants an ice cream sundae. She eventually settles on hot fudge and nuts and leaves a note reading, "Christina, can we please talk?" As she is about to leave, she catches a glance of herself in the mirror and tries to get the Hilda-curl out of her bangs with the clothes steamer. And who should walk in at this moment of a-dork-ableness but Henry? He asks if she's feeling better, and she says that she felt like she had to come back. Henry assumes that she's heard about Daniel. Betty asks what he means.
Cut to Betty wrangling Daniel into his office. She says that they have a lot to talk about. First, she says, it was wrong of her to shut him out, but he was more wrong for being a total dick to her at Prague. Daniel knows, and is sorry, and didn't mean the things he said. Betty says that's good, because when he hired her he got more than an assistant -- he got a friend. And in fact, if Daniel threw a party, and invited everyone he knew, he would see that the biggest gift would be from Betty. And the card attached would say...well, you get the drift. If Daniel screws up, says Betty, she's going to tell him -- that's just who she is. Daniel says he needs that, and that he needs her. He asks if they're okay, and she says of course they are, before yelling, "SIXTEEN! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?" Daniel swears that he didn't know. Betty believes him, but I mean, still. It's pretty grody. Betty asks how they'll fix this, and Daniel says there's only one option -- he has to resign. Betty looks concerned.
Meanwhile, Amanda is giving Tavares some advice at his loft. He says that she's saving his behind, and she says, "More like an A+-hind." Tavares strikes a pose indicating that he knows his hind has distinction with honors. Amanda begs to try on a dress, and Tavares tells her that the dressing room is down the hall. She says, "Ugh, like you care, Nancy," and starts stripping. She gabs as she's doing so, but then is stopped short as she notices that Tavares's Tim Gunn is at full attention. She asks if he's thinking about Matt Damon, and he shakes his head no before saying that he has a little confession to make. Carry on, designer.
