By Potes | Season 2 | Episode 2 | Aired on 10.03.2007
At Casa de Suarez, Hilda has a bunch of boxes of Santos's stuff, all of which is really tacky. This, of course, means that Hilda loves everything. She gives Justin a brown bag lunch for the first day of his Mode internship, but he's too cool for PBJ. She tells him she's proud of him, and that Santos would be, too.
Back at Mode, Marc enters Wili's office only to be encountered by former NBA star and former husband of Vanessa Williams Rick Fox! Hey! He's her bodyguard, Dwayne, there to protect Wili from Claire Meade and whatever bottle of face-disfiguring acid she might throw around like Gatorade. Marc tests out Dwayne's protection skills by pretending that Betty is Claire. Hee. Wili refuses to give Betty a copy of the book for Daniel. She does, however, tell Marc to confirm her lunch with Nora Ephron and give Dwayne a set of her house keys. Marc takes keys off a ring in his desk drawer. Betty tries to get the book from Marc, but he tells her he couldn't give it to her if he wanted to -- it's in Wili's apartment. Betty, plucky and full of the spirit of breaking and entering, steals a copy of Wili's key from Marc's drawer. As she turns around, who does she run into? Here's a clue: the name rhymes with "benry."
After a commercial break, Henry explains that he's planning on going back to Tucson, and that all is going well with baby-planning. He's excited about becoming a father, which really is a whole lot more interesting than being an accountant. Henry couldn't find a good job in Tucson, and enjoys Meade's benefits, so he's planning on taking his old job back, if Betty has no objections. She does, but tries to cover up by saying they can just be buddies. This sounds kind of familiar, doesn't it?
Betty unleashes her true feelings to Christina as the two walk down the street. Christina thinks that Betty should tell Charlie that the baby might not be his. Betty manages to utter the line "down with babies!" and call Charlie a slut in the course of about ten seconds, which is awesome. She says that she has enough to deal with, given Ignacio stuck in Mexico, and that she's not going to be the person to break up Henry's family. Christina is disappointed in this, but not at all disappointed that the two of them will be breaking into Wili's apartment.
Meanwhile, Justin needs a reprieve from the fascinating intern activity of sharpening pencils for Betty. He checks in with Marc, who makes him fetch a pen that he throws, and then asks if he has any interest in updating Wili's contacts. I hope that's not a euphemism, because Justin is seriously underage.
