Meanwhile, Betty tries to call Daniel. He doesn't answer...
...because he's watching the video Alexis brought over. He asks what Alexis wants, and she says that she wants Grace to recuse herself from the case. Grace says that her relationship with Daniel doesn't affect her ability to defend Bradford, and Alexis says that they'll see if the judge agrees. She then adds that maybe she'll put the video on the internet, because there are a lot of people out there who would love to see a lawyer getting screwed for a change. Grace says that she's done, and starts to leave. Alexis says that Grace doesn't want to ruin her career, and Grace replies that she just can't stand to deal with the Bickerfords. She says that she has enough murderers to put back on the streets, and their families actually support them. She tells the two of them that they don't need a lawyer: they need a good shrink and (looking at Alexis) maybe a closer shave. When Grace leaves, Daniel asks Alexis how she could do that. Alexis asks how Daniel can help their father, and Daniel drops the bomb that Bradford's innocent and Claire killed Fey. He says that Alexis just ran the best lawyer in town out of his door, and effectively put their mother in prison. I bet Alexis feels pretty silly right now.
Meanwhile, Claire is getting a taste of what prison will be like as Constance confronts her. Constance says that Claire is the ho who is stealing her man, and winds up giving Claire a shove. Oh, she shouldn't-a done that. Claire is skinny, but she'll cut you. Or your brakes. The two shove each other, and somehow poor Dr. Farkas ends up getting slapped in the face. Ignacio comes and asks what's going on, and Claire says that she doesn't know, and that they were just supposed to stop there to get a credit card so they could leave the country. Constance, of course, interprets this as if Claire and Ignacio were leaving the country to get married so that he can get his green card. Ignacio takes Constance to the kitchen and says that Claire isn't his girlfriend, and neither is Constance. He asks why Constance is stalking him. Constance says that she isn't stalking Ignacio -- she's monitoring an illegal immigrant who is a flight risk. He reaches up to grab the international coffee, and Constance slaps a tracking device on his ankle. She says that she'll know where he is 24-7, and that every time he leaves the house, an alarm will go off. I kind of hope Claire does kill Constance. Or Ignacio, even. I'm sick of this subplot.
