By Potes | Season 1 | Episode 14 | Aired on 01.31.2007
Meanwhile, Hilda is back at Betty's desk with a huge stack of résumés. She hit the zero button by accident, twice. She then says, "Oooh, pencils!" and grabs a handful from Betty's holder before Betty makes her put them back. Daniel comes out and asks how Hilda's doing. She tells him that she's just making some copies of her résumé because she needs a job. Daniel says that they can always use some more help for Fashion Week, and tells Betty to hook her up. Hilda is animated and excited. Betty looks like her worst nightmare has come to pass. Betty says that they're not going to work together: Betty will be Hilda's boss. Hilda just laughs. Betty says that she doesn't know if it's a good idea, but Hilda says, "Lemon Ice Sisters, reunited!" It does not feel so good, at least for Betty. Commercials.
When we return, Christina is fitting a model for her show. She is stressed, calls the model a twit, and bemoans the fact that the garment isn't draping. Meanwhile, Betty is lying down and complaining in a very drawn-out fashion that she's had a bad day. Christina tells her to cut to the chase, giving her thirty seconds. Betty says that Daniel hired Hilda to help with Fashion Week, and that Hilda's not going to listen to Betty: she's going to take over like she always does. Christina tells Betty to stop overreacting, and Betty says that Christina obviously never had an older sister. She then gives some anecdotal proof. 1991: Betty wins the science fair; Hilda wins Ms. Junior Teen Queen. Who do you think got a cake? 1994: Betty comes home with straight As; Hilda comes home pregnant. Who do you think got the cake? Well, she was eating for two! Christina asks if this is about cake, and Betty says that it's about the way Hilda always steals Betty's thunder. At Mode, Betty is Betty. Well, actually she's Ugly Betty. Sorry that I had to point that out. Anyway, everywhere else, she's "Hilda's sister." Christina says that Betty was at Mode first, so Hilda will be "Betty's sister" there. Betty likes the sound of that. Meanwhile, Christina thinks her designs are awful. Betty tells her to stop worrying, because she's going to steal the show. Christina says that everything she's ever wanted hinges on a six-minute runway show. Betty tells Christina that she's amazing. Christina says that Betty has to say that, because she's Christina's friend. Betty says that even if that were true, Wilhelmina is not Christina's friend, and wouldn't have chosen her for the show unless she thought Christina had talent. Or, convinced her to do a shady favor in the name of opportunism. One or the other. Christina starts to say, "Wilhelmina picked me because..." but then declines to tell Betty the truth, instead noting that they'll find out soon enough. Indeed!
