By Potes | Season 1 | Episode 12 | Aired on 01.10.2007
Then, Wilhelmina is lounging in her office with her cowboy boots up on her chaise longue as she looks at some negatives. Marc comes in with a package, asking where she was that morning, because he tried to call her a thousand times. She laughs a sultry laugh and says that she was with Ted, and that he's staying with her through the weekend. Aw, she seems so happy. I mean, it's unnatural, but kind of nice. Marc says that some guy named Steve called saying he had valuable information about Bradford. He smiles and asks if he should call this Steve, and Wili says no. No! Marc then says there's a 1:00 meeting about the bridal issue. When Wili says that Daniel can handle that, Marc says, "But it's Vera Wang this year. You love your wang!" And how. He then opens the package, screams, and falls straight over. He says that there's a dead rat or something inside, and asks if Wili pissed off Donna Karan again. HA! Donna Karan would totally send a dead rat in an off-the-shoulder tunic. Wilhelmina looks in and picks up the gift, which is actually an armadillo. She loves it and asks Marc to put it on her shelf. She then gets a phone call. It's Bandage Lady, who ominously says that they need to speak in person. D'oh!
Meanwhile, Betty is interviewing Daniel. He says that Betty wasn't exactly the type of girl he was used to working with -- i.e. one who would blow him -- but that as he got to know her, he grew to like her. He also says that Betty helped him to grow as a person. And saved his ass a couple of times, I might add. He says that Betty played a huge part in the Sofia thing. She asks if he's still planning on proposing to her, and tells him that Sofia was crying in the morning and thinks Daniel is having second thoughts. AS WELL HE SHOULD BE, OR SO IT TURNS OUT. Oops, spoiler again. Daniel is shocked, and Betty says that Sofia doesn't want to become another one of his Daniel Meade girls. She advises him that, if he doesn't want to lose Sofia, he knows what he has to do.
Cut to Wili and Ted having a meal together. She asks where one finds an armadillo in Manhattan. The answer, of course, is Chinatown. She says that despite the fact that it clashes with most of her office, she adores it, and put it right in front of her so that she remembers the important stuff. She says that she's spent the past twenty years worrying about hemlines and heels and being frigid (okay, maybe I added that part), and for what? If you have no one to share it with, what's the point? Ted then gets all serious, and says that he has to warn her that he comes with a truck full of baggage. He has three ex-wives, and is working on four, and also has a passel of kids. Wilhelmina says that they both have plenty of baggage, but that she's willing to give it a shot if he is. Especially if it's vintage Louis Vuitton.
