Episode Report Card Potes: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Derailed

Speaking of Betty, Daniel tells her that his mother tends to be a bit delusional when she drinks. Betty tells him that Claire said she cut Fey's brakes. Daniel says that after a few cocktails, she also claims to have won the Boston Marathon and caused the tsunami. Betty says that Claire followed Fey in her Aston Martin and watched her crash into a tree. How inconspicuous of her, to follow Fey in an Aston Martin. Daniel takes this detail a bit more seriously, and asks Betty to call Rikers, because he needs to see his father.
Cut to Rikers, where Bradford is once again behind Plexiglass and next to a really muscley tattooed guy who likes to call him "Sweet Pants." Bradford says emphatically that Claire did not kill Fey, and asks why Daniel is listing to "that assistant." Maybe because she's the only one who gives him good advice, you tranny-hating asshat. Daniel asks why Claire would confess to something like that, and Bradford blames it on Claire's being such a drunk. Every time I really fuck up at work I'm going to try saying, "But I was drunk when that happened!" We'll see if it works. Bradford tells Daniel to try focusing on something more important, like finding him a new lawyer. Eh, let the old man rot, is my vote. Bradford says that he needs The Chin. Is this some kind of prison sex thing? Daniel has the same question, apparently. Bradford clarifies that he needs lawyer Grace Chin. Daniel looks concerned.
Cut to a yearbook photo of Grace Chin, who looks remarkably like an Asian Betty. We're in Daniel's office. Becks is there, and asks, "You dated THAT?" Daniel says that no, he actually stood THAT up. Becks says "good call," because there's not enough beer in the world to make THAT look good. Daniel says that Grace was his TA sophomore year, and that he promised her that if she helped him to pass Criminology, he'd take her to the Sigma Phi New Year's kegger. And the only thing I can think of to say to that is...Criminology? Like Daniel was training to become the next John Munch? Yeesh. Anyhoo, on the night of the event, Cindy Howard showed up at Daniel's room and said that she was tired of being a virgin because it was so uncool. Becks says that this is funny, because Cindy decided the same thing two weeks earlier, in Becks's room. Like you need to come up with a line to get a college sophomore guy to have sex with you. Daniel says that Grace Chin will never take his father's case after what Daniel did to her. Becks says that was last century, and then helpfully calls Grace a fatty and says that she probably has three or four chins by now. Or three or four Chins, which means she's been popping out the babies, I guess. Becks tells Daniel to give her a call, and that she'll be happy to hear from a man. Daniel needs to take Becks out of his MySpace top ten, you know?
