When we return, Betty is actually in the blue house. And it matches her blue tights! How convenient. When she enters, she sees an old woman in a rocking chair, and asks if the woman is Yolanda Salazar. Betty tells Yolanda that she is her granddaughter, and adds that Yolanda has no idea how much Betty has wanted to meet her. Yolanda just rocks back and forth in her chair and says nothing. An attendant walks out with a tray of food. She tells Betty that Yolanda won't talk to her, and that her mind is no longer [hand gesture]. "Her mind is no longer [hand gesture]" is Spanglish for, "Bitch is crazy." But a docile kind of crazy, which is refreshing. Betty is sad.
Back at Mode, Alexis encounters Jordan in Daniel's office. She says that she knows what's going on with Jordan and Daniel, and that Jordan is going to get hurt, because Daniel is just doing it to get back at Alexis. "It's all about me," she says. Way to give your wronged ex an opportunity to take something and run with it. Jordan says that it is, and has always been, all about Alex, and that's probably why she's attracted to Daniel -- it's the closest she'll ever get to being with Alex again. Alexis asks what Jordan wants her to do. Jordan replies that she wants her to do what she should have done two years ago -- have the guts to say goodbye. Alexis walks over to Jordan, puts a hand on her shoulder, and says, "Goodbye, Jordan." And then, lingering hot lady kiss. Of a bittersweet variety, but still. Woo-ha! Why can't the two of them end up together? I think Alexis as a super-hot post-op lesbian would be ten times as imposing as Alexis as a super-hot post-op who is chronically unlucky with the boys. In any case, Daniel of course sees them and looks upset. He backs out into the hall and reaches for his pill bottle, which is empty. Shouldn't he just want to have sex, then? This whole subplot is very confusing.
At Tavares's loft, Amanda approaches Tavares and tells him that she's going to go. He dismisses her with a bitchy yet fluffy, "What do you want me to do, walk you to the door? Goodnight, Girlina!" Marc is aghast. Sebastian tells Tavares that he thinks Amanda has a thing for him, and Tavares says that she'd sleep at the foot of his bed if he let her. Did Tavares ever think that maybe the reason he never got far in the fashion industry as a straight man is because he's kind of a jerk? He continues, "Sad little hags always want what they can't have." Amanda hears and looks really hurt, and Marc loudly says, "Oh really?" He says that that sad little hag can and has had it, in ways that are too disgusting to even think about. Amanda looks flattered. Marc says that Tavares could have had a real relationship with Amanda, and he would have been lucky because she's one of the nicest, easiest girls around. When Tavares gives him a stern look, Marc admits that maybe she's actually not that nice. Tavares tells him to shut up, and Sebastian asks, "What's the lesbian talking about?" Heh.
