Betty and Daniel ride home. Daniel asks how Alexis could say that Daniel's like their father; Daniel insists that they're nothing alike. Betty says that it's been a long time and that people change; maybe Alexis doesn't know who Daniel is anymore. Daniel says that he would have been there for Alex. Betty says that of course he would -- Alex is, or was, Daniel's brother. And it's not too late to prove to "him" that Daniel's going to be there for "her." Betty then asks if they can pick a pronoun and stick to it. They pull up to Betty's house, and Walter is waiting outside. She suggests that they go back to Coney Island to get some hot dogs, but Daniel tells her that it's a lot harder avoiding people than it is facing them.
Betty and Walter have a heart-to-heart. She apologizes for being such a bum girlfriend. He says it's okay, and she says it's not okay. She then starts to give the "Walter, you've meant so much to me" speech. He lays a kiss on her. She asks what that was about, and he says that he wanted one last kiss before they ended this. He says that he's not stupid, and has known for a while that he was losing her, but just kept hoping. See, Walter isn't such a bad guy. He's just clueless and a pretty huge dork. Ringing endorsement, I know. Make that your Match.com profile tag, honey. He tells Betty that he took the job in Maryland, and that he's going to miss her. She says that she knows he won't believe her, but that she's really going to miss him too. And who will Ignacio play dominoes with? That's the real crime here.
Fade to Henry leaving a Wicked t-shirt on Betty's desk. Good call, because Betty is totally the girl who wears the concert t-shirt to the concert, you know? He puts a sticky note on it that reads, "Can't wait, green girl." It's kind of insulting and kind of sweet all at once! It looks as if the star-crossed lovers are finally going to get their day! OR ARE THEY? Henry, all smiles, is about to get on the elevator. It opens, and a woman's voice says, "Hi, Henry!" He says, "Oh my God," and asks what she's doing there. We don't see her face, but pan down to see a suitcase in her hand. D'oh!
It is the next morning. Hilda comes out in a dumpy sweater to take Justin to school. He is all, "WTF, mom?" She says that she's trying something new, and he tells her that it's hideous. You guessed it -- Hilda is trying to look more mom-appropriate and less like a MILF. Justin tells her that she's the mom who always tells him to be who he is and not care what other people think. She asks if Justin really doesn't care how she dresses. He tells her that he's not crazy about the animal prints and that she's a little overaccessorized, but that she has her own style, and that's cool. Hilda whips off the sweater to reveal a typical tarty Hilda top, and all is well again.
