At Mode, Justin has found everything on Shakira's list but a particular brand of rice cakes, which Marc calls the scourge of many a celebrity assistant, not to mention the cause of a Madonna Speed-The-Plow tantrum. He tells Justin he has twelve more hours before he has to bring them to the Shakira photo shoot. Justin is really excited that he gets to go to the shoot, but gets sad when he almost says that he can't wait to tell his dad. Marc has a really nice moment with Justin, and tells him it's okay to be happy, and to enjoy the fact that he did a great job today. Awww! He'd be the best gay dad, too. Amanda enters and bemoans the fact that Halston is sick and she has to be a caregiver. She says that it's almost like she'd be better off getting rid of him, and a lightbulb goes off above their heads.
Meanwhile, Daniel gives Bradford the dozens for not being honest with Alexis, about his feelings about the sex change as well as the fact that he's marrying Wili. Bradford gives him some business about getting a second chance and wanting to fix the mistakes he made. Daniel doesn't seem to be buying it.
In family turmoil of a different nature, Betty has a dream conversation with Ignacio as she weighs her options. She thinks she ought to trust in the system to get Ignacio his visa, and to be truthful with Daniel. And hey, good point. The government is totally trustworthy these days. ["I got mines! Thanks, INS!" -- Wing Chun] Meanwhile, Henry asks Christina if he did anything to make Betty mad. Christina tells him that Betty's not mad; she's confused. Henry still clearly loves Betty, but feels obligated to Charlie. Christina takes matters into her own skilled hands and tells Henry that she's got something to tell him about Charlie and the baby. Well, finally.
And now, back to the bitches. Amanda and Marc take Halston to the pound, but once they realize how gross it is, Amanda can't bear to give the dog away. She tells Halston that he may be mangy and disgusting with a weird rash on his butt -- or maybe that is his butt -- but he's the only connection she has to her mother. Going along with the theory that dogs and their owners tend to look alike, I'm guessing that Fey had one welty, rashy butt. Perhaps this, more than the immaculate feet, is what drew Bradford in.
Speaking of Bradford, Daniel wants to tell Alexis the truth about their stank rashy butt of a father. When he sees how happy it makes her to think that he and Bradford are there for her, it gives him pause. She asks how they got into their accident, and Daniel lies that a deer ran out in front of them. Bradford comes in, and they're like one big happy family, except for the part where Daniel and Bradford continuously exchange suspicious looks.
