Episode Report Card Jessica: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Fake Plastic Snow

Henry smiles at Betty -- a very sweet, very sexy smile -- and I think I might actually be in love with him myself. Have I mentioned that? Betty smiles back, and caterers walk between her and Henry, and when they've moved out of the way, lo and behold, Henry is kissing Erin Underwear! It is clearly a kiss that she has planted on him, because he doesn't seem that into it, but Betty's face falls so sadly that I don't think she's realized that. I also must admit that I might have screamed "NOOOO!" here in my apartment. Betty gets her stuff, and runs away, missing seeing a disgusted Henry pushing Erin Underwear away, and turning back to look for Betty. Noooooo! No!
Betty races out of the office and into the elevator, even though Henry is chasing her, and lets the elevator door close in his face. Nooooooooo! No! Betty! NOOOO! It's all a MISUNDERSTANDING!
Queens. A demoralized Betty gets home to see Gina and Hilda doing each other's makeup on the sofa. "Justin, does this need more glitter?" Ignacio asks his grandson, holding a Christmas stocking. "Absolutely," Justin responds. Betty's mouth drops open. "Did hell freeze over?" she asks. They all look at her briefly, and then get back to what they were doing.
At the office, the party is over, and Amanda is doing some clean-up. Daniel comes over to her and tells her that Betty thinks she should be his new assistant: "I do too." Amanda is thrilled. Daniel kindly tells her that he knows she's more than just a pretty face: "So what do you think? Can we do this? Work together?" "Absolutely," she says. "Professionals." And they shake on it. If this is actually going to happen, it could be kind of hilarious.
Next, in a development that I absolutely did not see coming and which DELIGHTED me, we then pop over to visit Wil in her office. As did someone else: dashing Texan Ted LeBeau, come to surprise her at Christmas. "Looks like I missed some party," he says, looking around. He chuckles at how thrilled she obviously is to see him. I am thrilled at how freaking awesome her jacket is.
Back at the Suarez house, Betty and Hilda are having sister jammie time. Betty asks Hilda what happens if she wakes up and she's forty-five years old and she's never been on a plane, like Janice from the Pro Buy party. Hilda's not worried: she knows Betty can do anything she wants to do. Betty hopes she's right, about everything, and hands her a Polaroid of her and Walter, taken at the Pro Buy party. Hilda looks at it for a beat, and then says she wishes Betty could appreciate how much Walter loves her. Betty says that she does appreciate it. DO WE NOT REMEMBER HOW HE CHEATED ON HER? I mean, I understand that people make mistakes, but wouldn't we have seen an actual apology from him, rather than just his half-assed groveling? Betty just wishes she were sure. You know, seeing as she's not getting the sweaty palms or racing heart. With Walter, anyway.
