Meanwhile, Amanda is on the phone with Tavares, telling him how much Wilhelmina loved the jacket. She asks how much he loves her, and Tavares says that it's Matt Damon, then her. The minute he mentioned Matt Damon was the minute I knew he couldn't really be gay. Amanda gives him some tips to impress Wilhelmina, including getting rid of the offensive buttons and removing sequins on a black dress, because they'll remind Wili of the bad times at 54. Tavares asks Amanda if she'll come to his studio that night and tell him what Wili will love and hate. Once she gets assurance that there are free clothes in it for her, she agrees.
Back at the Mode Brazil shoot, Rodrigo asks Alexis if she'll accompany him to dinner that evening. She politely declines, saying that she has a lot of work to do. Rodrigo says that he'll keep himself open in case she changes her mind. Wilhelmina approaches Alexis and notes that Rodrigo is quite a specimen. Alexis confesses that he asked her to dinner, and she said no. Wili asks why, and Alexis says because dinner means sex and, having previously been a guy, she knows that. And, as it happens, Alexis hasn't exactly utilized the new plumbing since her operation. Or, as Wili says, she hasn't taken the car out for a test drive. But, Wili argues, someone's going to have to put the key in the ignition at some point. Well, what if you feel like taking the bus? Alexis gives a long look back at Rodrigo as we head to commercials.
When we return, Daniel is explaining the Petra situation to Alexis. She asks, "My total lack of surprise...is it real or is it Botox?" Ha! The people at Botox should do a series of celebrity billboards with that tagline. We haven't really seen enough of Nicole Kidman lately. Daniel says that he needs Alexis's help, and she just laughs, noting the irony that Daniel is the one their father trusts. Daniel says that whatever Bradford has done to Alexis -- including the $10 million offer to resign -- has nothing to do with him. Alexis doesn't care, and she says that if Daniel wants Ms. Teen Kazakhstan on the cover, then he'll be the one to resign. She'll happily screw him over to get back at Bradford. Daniel says that she has a cold heart, and Alexis says that she had it installed with the other upgrades.
Meanwhile, Ignacio has made a sandwich for himself and Santos. Santos suspects that it's made with cyanide mayonnaise, which I think is probably a good bet. Ignacio prods for info on what's going on with Santos and Hilda. Santos says that they're dating. Ignacio asks if Santos remembers 1995, and Santos says sure -- the Knicks lost in the playoffs, the Braves won the series, and Sunset Boulevard won the Tony for best musical. That last fact is courtesy of Justin's Broadway-A-Day calendar. But, as Santos points out, 1995 was also the year that Hilda got knocked up and Santos walked out on her. Ignacio says that he doesn't give a rat about Santos, but Hilda and Justin do. He says that he know Santos is going to walk out on them again, so he should do it now, before anyone starts dreaming of a future that's never going to happen. Santos gets up and walks out. Hey, is anyone going to eat that sandwich? I'm hungry.
