At Casa de Suarez, Justin is glued to Fashion TV's coverage of the Meade crisis. Ignacio wants to check on the football score, but Justin notes that since Bradford's in the hospital, football is probably cancelled anyway. When Betty enters, she learns that Bradford is still unconscious, and has to acknowledge that she's been fired. Ignacio wants to call Daniel and tell him the reasons Betty didn't tell him about Wili's affair, but Betty says that it might all be for the best anyway. Hilda's sisterly advice is that Betty go to the gym and get smoking-hot; then when Daniel sees her next, he'll be begging her to come back. That would also probably bring about the Daniel/Betty in love scenario that some have vehemently hoped for, and some have vehemently gagged at the prospect of. Betty still feels awful that she's changed into a less virtuous person, and especially feels bad about lying to Daniel when she's the only person he trusted. She heads up to her room and opens her closet, where she finds...Claire Meade of course! Yoga is in Betty's bed, and hijinx are bound to ensue. Commercials.
When we return, Betty is quite surprised that Mrs. Meade is (a) alive and (b) in Betty's bedroom, and also quite scared of Yoga. Claire tells Betty that she's leaving the country tonight, but needs a favor. Betty hesitates to aid and abet a known felon, and offers Claire a hat instead. Claire explains that the favor is for her children. Yoga interjects that they'll be okay, since they're white, but Claire ignores her. Can these two please get their own spin-off? Claire needs to find out whether Bradford's changed his will to leave the company to Wili. She can't frolic on the Italian countryside without knowing that her children are taken care of, and tells Betty that the will is in Bradford's office. Betty says that this is exactly the type of thing she needs to stop doing, and Claire wonders why Betty would stop helping people she cares about. Betty reluctantly agrees, saying that she owes Daniel this. In my opinion, she owes Daniel negative 400 things, but her innate goodness just can't be contained.
Meanwhile, Marc and Wili ride in their limo, Wili lamenting the fact that she is in limbo. Marc knows that Wili hates the limbo and electric slide and any other forced party dancing, and commiserates. If she had walked in the office on Monday as Mrs. Bradford Meade, she'd own half the company, but without a ring on her finger, she doesn't know where she stands. She knows that Bradford changed his will, but needs to know what's in it before she can plot her next move. For all she knows, he could have decided to leave everything to, shudder, charity. Marc wants to find this Charity person and kill her, but Wili will settle for getting their hands on the will.
Cut to Mode, where LaManda stops Betty in her tracks, saying she's been notified that Betty's no longer an employee. The fact that Betty told LaManda this herself has no bearing on the situation, and we all learn the lesson that you don't want to mess with the weekend security. Take that, Schatar.
