By the way, I'd just like to remind you that Meade Publications isn't in financial trouble because of anything having to do with the economy or its management. They just had all their assets stolen by their CFO and then put out a low-selling issue. They don't really have any long-term problems that we've been told about.
Cut to Matt and Betty out on the sidewalk. Matt is telling Betty in no uncertain terms that he absolutely cannot and will not set up a meeting with his father. As they get into the cab, Daniel is also on the sidewalk and gives Betty an excited double-thumbs-up. Come to think of it, you rarely see a double-thumbs-up that's not excited. I guess the last time it was done laconically was by the Fonz. Betty looks sad.
In the Suarez house, Betty is bemoaning her fate. What can she do? Justin is more concerned about Matt, who must be under incredible pressure, judging from the reruns of Dynasty he's been watching. Hilda opines that the rich boyfriend should be kept happy even at the cost of the job. Justin has some point that's just an excuse to talk about Linda Evans playing two lookalike characters. Ignacio is fairly realistic and recommends that Betty just tell Daniel it didn't work out. Betty agrees that she'll tell Daniel the truth, which means that she will certainly not do it.
Pictures of Wilhelmina's baby. Wili attempts to draw Marc's attention to the supposed Slater Chin on the baby, although Marc points out that Wili hasn't had a Slater Chin since 1981. And he doesn't buy her claim that babies have cheekbones. Incidentally, Wili's got some crazy earrings in this scene. It's like a giant jewel hanging from a carabiner hanging from another giant jewel. Call me old-fashioned, but I think that when your earrings hang past your shoulders, something's gone wrong. Wili suggests that the baby must take after Bradford, but the only similarity Marc sees is "the fishbelly complexion." Finally Wili admits that she's a little freaked that Miles thought the baby looked like Christina. Marc enthusiastically agrees and then frantically backs up. Anyway, it's clearly medically impossible, right?
"Actually, it is medically possible," explains a doctor whom Wili has yanked out of surgery to come to her office. So if the surrogate (Christina) had sex right before the procedure, she could have become pregnant the old-fashioned way. This plot twist is suspiciously similar to the one in Baby Mama. Anyway, Marc has a new assignment: find out if Christina had sex right before the surgery. And do it discreetly!
