Meanwhile, an alarm rings. A perfectly manicured hand reaches over and turns it off. It is Wilhelmina, wearing a big sleep mask. She reaches over for a mirror (which is placed between her face and the camera), takes off the mask, and lets out a giant scream. Quack quack.
Suddenly, we are reporting live from Fashion Week! Well, we aren't, but Tim Gunn is! Yay, Tim Gunn! He makes note of both the Calvin Klein show and the Mode Designers To Watch show. He then blows an air kiss to Karl Lagerfeld before turning to the camera and saying, "A ponytail at seventy? Brave." If you ask me, Karl Lagerfeld's got bigger problems than the ponytail.
Meanwhile, Daniel is being interviewed, discussing Zac Posen's line. Becks bounds up, gives him a mini-tackle, and starts to talk about getting some tail. He actually uses the word "meow" at one point. Daniel tries to resist his advances. Becks wants Daniel to give him at least an hour, and says that they'll have their usual bet: whoever scores with the hottest girl there wins $1. Daniel says thanks but no thanks, because he's not that guy anymore. Not, that is, until he sees his brother who's had a sex change walk into the tent to the tune of David Bowie's "Fame." Well, that's awkward. Daniel turns to Becks and says, "You're on." Apparently inbreeding is big this year. Commercials.
Betty and Justin enter the tent. Justin says he thinks he's going to pass out. He points out Heidi Klum, and Seal, and Baby Seal. I know there's a clubbing joke to be had here, but I just can't find it. Hilda comes running in with a camera and screams, "Oh my God, J.Lo!" It would have been better had she said, "¡Dios mio!" Betty tells Hilda to give her the camera, and adds that Hilda is supposed to be in the wardrobe tent. Hilda refuses, Betty says that she's Hilda's supervisor, and Hilda threatens to sit on Betty. For some reason, I predict that this theoretical sitting would end in broken glasses. Betty sends Hilda off to steam, and then reminds Justin that he's supposed to stay twenty feet from Naomi Campbell at all times, for his own good.
Cut to an unmasked Wili at her apartment with Marc. She says that she looks like a monster, and then asks Marc how bad it is. Dude, it's pretty bad. It looks like someone tried to brand the top half of her face and/or that she's allergic to bees. Her eyes are almost completely swollen shut. Marc bites his finger and lies that it's not that bad at all. With a little concealer and hemorrhoid cream, she'll be good to go. She says that it's getting worse by the minute and that she can't see a thing. Marc tries to convince her that this is a blessing, because there are all kinds of people at Fashion Week that she doesn't want to see anyway. Wili says that people have to see her, and demands that Marc be at her side at all times, calling him her seeing-eye gay. Some social entrepreneur should really pick up on that concept. She has Marc lead her to the bathroom. Once Wili is in, Marc calls Amanda to enlist her help for the Eternal 18 deal.
