Meanwhile, at Tavares's loft, there is some post-coital bliss to be found. Amanda asks Tavares if she turned him straight, saying that her history of turning usually goes the other way. Tavares, who is f'ing CUT and needs to be in more scenes not wearing a shirt, says that he's straight, but in the closet. In the fashion business, he continues, nobody will even look at a straight guy's portfolio. Oh, boo hoo, straight men have such a difficult life. Excuse me for a moment while I listen to the world's tiniest violin play "Livin' on a Prayer." Amanda says this is just like the time she pretended to be a lesbian to get Kate Smith to do her math homework in junior high. She tells Tavares not to judge her, and then calls him a faux-mo. Tavares wishes that they could make this work, and Amanda asks why they can't. She says that when they're in public, she'll be part of his entourage, and when they're in private, he'll be straight and she'll be naked. Tavares asks if she's really up for this, and she notes that the combination of great sex and free clothes pretty much encompasses every thinking girl's ideal relationship.
And then, we are at Rodrigo's. Alexis, looking super-foxy, comes in. She says that she had a really bad day, and asks if there's any chance that they can skip dinner. And then, she totally tackles him, plants a big wet one on him, and throws him down on the bed. Hey, linebacking girls need love, too. Rodrigo figures out that this is her first time as a girl, but he doesn't seem to mind.
Back in Queens, Hilda tells Santos that getting married is too scary for her right now. She knows he's there now, but she can't get her heart broken again. Santos says, "So you're gonna break my heart." Well, now you know how it feels, chump. Hilda asks why they have to rush into everything. She says that they're not kids anymore, and she wants to know that they're doing this for the right reasons. Santos says that the reason he proposed is that he loves her, and he asks if she can honestly look at him and say that she doesn't love him. Well, why does she have to? Like, just date for a while. Take it slow. No need to start jumping on couches and shit. Santos leaves angrily. Once he is gone, Hilda gets teary and says that she does love him. She then runs out after him, and he's totally just waiting on the porch. That was such a move! Run, Hilda, run! But they kiss and hug and he spins her around just like Henry did to Betty as we head to commercials. Hmm, I wonder what tragedy can cut this happy moment short.
