Episode Report Card Potes: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Punch Out
By Potes | Season 1 | Episode 19 | Aired on 04.18.2007
As Constance leaves, Justin says, "I LOVE her!" Hilda walks over to Ignacio and says there's no way he's going to Constance's house. Ignacio says he needs to meet his lawyer. Hilda thinks that it would be better to do so in an office, with fluorescent lights and witnesses. Presumably because once Constance sees Ignacio under the harsh glare of the fluorescents and has a few other people confirm for her that he's really not worth getting all stalker-ish about, she really will be over him for good. But Ignacio doesn't want to make waves when he's so close to getting his green card. He tells Hilda that he can handle his own affairs. Hilda looks doubtful.
Meanwhile, back at Mode, Daniel finally strolls into the office at 2:00 wearing an open purple shirt with a leather jacket over it. He looks like an Easter egg and probably smells like one too. He asks if he has any messages, and Betty relays one from Becks, congratulating Daniel on getting into Tabitha's "gift bag." Let's hope that it's the gift that keeps on giving semi-annual outbreaks. Betty asks if Daniel has seen Page Six, and he notes that he thought it was just some creepy kid watching him at the Peter Pan statue. She tells him that people are following him, and that earlier, Quincy Combs was snooping around in his office. Daniel thinks that Quincy Combs is a rapper, but Betty tells him that Quincy is the celebrity trasher who has written books on Kathie Lee, Coby, and Whoopi. Daniel asks what Whoopi's done, and Betty says that the book's not out yet, but apparently it's shocking. Betty says that the Meades are next, and that Quincy wants to destroy their family. Daniel sarcastically says, "A little late for that, huh?" Oh, boo hoo, the sad prince cries as he lies on his silk-lined chaise.
Betty sprays some Binaca in Daniel's mouth and removes a pink G-string from his waist with a pencil, telling him that if Quincy learns how out of control he's gotten, Daniel will be the first five chapters of the book. He's all, "Wah-wah, the life of a dilettante," and Betty tells him that things are different now, because he's earned some respect. Daniel tells Betty that she worries too much, and she says that somebody has to. He thinks that Alexis is running everything just fine, but Betty is upset that he's going to sit back and hand everything over to her. She says that he's worked so hard in the last six months. Oooh, six whole months of hard work! Has anyone before had such a triumph of the will? Daniel says that it was all taken away from him in a minute. And he wouldn't want to have to work hard for six MORE months, would he? It would be too much for the fragile human spirit to take! Daniel angrily says that he's being exactly the way that his family expects him to be. Well, they wouldn't expect him to be that way if he hadn't already been that way for so long. I mean, right? He unconvincingly says that he's having a blast, and that boozing and womanizing is something he's actually good at. I'd grant him "proficient," but I don't know if I'd score him at "good." Betty tells him that he has some models coming in at 4:00. Daniel confirms that they're "girl models" and gets excited. Betty glares at him and leaves his office.
