...we cut to Wilhelmina, who's also watching Fashion TV while stirring an espresso. Tim Gunn says that no one knows which side Daniel is going to fall on. Probably the side of "Kind of dumb until Betty sets him straight," as usual. Tim says that this brings us to the all-important question: what's going to happen at Mode? Wilhelmina, with a fresh box of business cards that read "Editor-in-Chief," thinks she knows.
Cut to a pair of sexy legs walking into the Meade building as The Waitresses' gem "I Know What Boys Like" plays. Photographers snap her and reporters hound her with questions like "What breast size did you go with?" She doesn't speak until one asks her how it feels to be back at Meade Publications, and she replies, "Fan-freakin'-tastic." She steps into the elevator, and soon afterward an unwitting Betty rushes in. Betty looks up, realizes whom she's standing next to, and gives one of those Betty-charmingly-freaking-out faces.
Cut to the big house. Bradford is on one side of plexiglass holding a phone, Daniel on the other. Bradford makes some sort of joke about jail being just like the Club, which I suspect is a euphemism for "I have been made the primary bitch of some huge guy named Bruno, and my ass is really sore." Bradford asks Daniel how his mother is doing, and Daniel says he wouldn't know because Claire spent the whole weekend with Alex. Well, if I were in the same situation, I would want to hang with my child who I thought was dead, too. Stop being so judgy, Daniel. Bradford says that they have to fight Alex, and that as long as Bradford's in the big house it's all up to Daniel. Daniel says that he's talked to their lawyers, and that the prosecution has some pretty strong evidence -- phone logs, emails, Fey's car. Bradford asks if Daniel believes that Bradford's innocent, and Daniel says, "I want to." Awkward!
Meanwhile, back in the elevator, Betty can't stop staring at Alexis's rack, which is, in all fairness, right at Betty's eye level. And kind of extraordinary. After a few awkward moments, Betty introduces herself. Alexis already knows who she is. Betty peeks around at Alexis's butt, and Alexis says, "Let's cut to it: they softened the jaw, slimmed the nose, lowered the hairline, shaved the Adam's apple, and then there are the implants -- cheeks, breasts, ass." She says that she'll spare Betty the graphic details, but confirms that they do not, in fact, save "it" in a jar. Betty awkwardly says that's good to know, and Alexis kind of smiles. She adds, as Betty looks at a patch on her arm, that she hasn't given up smoking. It's a hormone patch so that her moustache doesn't grow back. Betty enthusiastically asks where she got it, because Betty has to bleach all the time and it's such a pain. Ha! Alexis is totally going to love Betty, just like the rest of us do.
