By Potes | Season 2 | Episode 5 | Aired on 10.24.2007
When we return, Hilda's new friend Rose Nylund is telling her all about how Carnival Cruise Lines put her husband in the freezer. It's good times until Justin steals Hilda's keys while she's listening to the ladies talk about the complaint letters they intend to write. It's true that you never get two scoops of raisins, even if the ones that are in there are sugar-coated balls of deliciousness. Hilda will not even notice that her keys are gone, given her new penchant for riding on the senior center bus.
Back at Mode, Daniel asks for Betty's opinion on the new, US Weekly-esque Mode. She suggests that he ask Bradford for money to save Mode and keep its integrity, but perks up when she sees the laundry detergent sample. A girl after my own heart. Daniel is reluctant to do so. He notes that Betty's wearing her lucky sweater, and she confesses that she has an appointment...at the bowling alley...with a boy. Daniel is proud of Betty for having a date. He would be prouder of her if her lucky sweater didn't have a scarf tied in a bow attached. She looks like Judy Bernly.
Claire, meanwhile, walks by Chekov's guns as she goes through her unknowing host's mail. She finds an invitation...from the Meades. Yes, it's an invite to Wili and Bradford's wedding, on the tenth of November. Well, at least this might prompt Claire to get out of her caftan.
At Casa de Suarez, Ignacio draws the line when Hilda puts Mabel's teeth in her purse. Hilda says that the ladies get her -- they know what it's like to be without the person you love. Ignacio points out that he does, too, but it can't mean that life stops. And, he points out, Hilda has a son who needs her. Hilda says she's fine, but for the shooting pain in her back. I'm sure a ringing endorsement for Ben-Gay is coming soon.
At Mode, Alexis proves, at the expense of her Dolce and Gabbana blouse, that soy ink does run. She tells Daniel that they know what they have to do. He's reluctant to tell Bradford that he lost half of their advertisers, but Alexis agrees to take the fall. As Bradford's "golden boy," she's sure she can get the money from him. Daniel says that Alexis always could get away with anything, and she excitedly runs off to try to get the ink off of her boobs.
Kenny, meanwhile, shares the news with Henry that Betty has a date! Henry looks worried as we cut to Betty -- a.k.a. CutieInQueens -- at Pinz bowling alley, where she meets Steve, a.k.a. NiceGuy47. The first thing he comments on are her adult braces. Oh, I don't think he's such a nice guy after all. 47, maybe. But nice, definitely not. He tells her that her picture was really good. Betty is oblivious, per usual. She's just ready to bowl, to bowl, to rock n' roll.
