Betty comes into the office and sees the shirt Henry left her. She also sees her computer screen saver featuring her and Walter, and changes it to a Microsoft-issue sunset. Daniel comes in and tells her that he needs her to run his credit card over to Claire at the Four Seasons -- she went a little nuts on her spree and wore out the magnetic strip on her own card. She asks if she should go right now, and Daniel says that it's a good idea, given the fact that Claire is trying to buy breakfast with a bracelet. On her way out, Betty runs into Henry. He says that he has the tickets, and she goes on and on about how excited she is, and then notes that Henry gave her both. He looks very serious, and says that last night a friend from home showed up. And that friend is, in fact, his ex-girlfriend, with whom he reconnected after Christmas. It felt like old times, blah blah blah, and she came to New York to try to make it work. And, Henry adds, Betty is with Walter. Oooooooooh! Foiled. Henry tells Betty that she and Walter can go to the show, and to have fun. Betty sadly says that they will. It's just like David and Maddie on Moonlighting! Will they or won't they, will they or won't they? My guess is that they will, and that it will be the hottest dork-sex you've ever seen. But for now, it is only sadness. ["Good day for Justin, though, since I presume that's who'll get the second ticket." -- Wing Chun]
Daniel walks into the Mode conference room to find Alexis looking at the details of their fight on the society page. She says that it wasn't their finest moment; Daniel agrees. Alexis asks where they stand. Daniel says that no matter how this turns out, Meade Publications is still a family company. Which, if you ask me, would be better run by Wilhelmina. Daniel says that maybe it wouldn't kill them to work together. Alexis says that she's up for it, as long as Daniel stops staring at her boobs. He says that he's actually staring at her Adam's apple, and compliments her on the nice work. As they shake hands, we pan to an orchid sitting just outside the room's glass wall. Wili is watching it all on her computer at home. Evelyn looks over her shoulder and asks what show it is; Wili says it's called Wilhelmina Got Screwed. A lot of people would totally pay $5.99 for that on pay-per-view.
Cut to the Four Seasons, where an already drunk Claire opens the door to her room and notes that Betty isn't room service. Betty hands over the credit card from Daniel, and Claire says that he's a good boy. She then confirms that he's the one who's still a boy, and offers Betty a bloody mary. Betty notes that it's 10:00 AM, and Claire says that she's right, and that it's time to move on to martinis. That is a woman after my own heart. Betty asks why Claire is staying at a hotel room -- one that looks a lot like how I imagine Anna Nicole Smith's death scene, I might add. But nicer. Claire says that her house is empty, and that a house is not supposed to be empty. Betty says that it's just temporary, and that Bradford will be out soon. Claire cryptically says, "Maybe. Maybe not." Betty says that Bradford is not a murderer, and Claire says that she knows. And why does she know? Because she knows who killed Fey Sommers. And do you know who killed Fey Sommers? Well, according to Claire, she did. Betty gets a look of concern that screams "accessory to murder" or "withholding evidence," gulps down a martini, and we fade to black.
