By Potes | Season 2 | Episode 8 | Aired on 11.14.2007
At the hospital, Daniel and Amanda have a moment by the vending machine. Daniel confesses that he never told Bradford he loves him. Amanda asks whether Daniel does love Bradford, and Daniel chokes up when he admits that he does, but that they just weren't one of those families who said so. Amanda tells Daniel that he may not have gotten Bradford's love or approval, but he did get his jawline. Hopefully not his hairline, though. Amanda says that Bradford is right upstairs, and that Daniel can still go tell him anything he wants to. She puts her hand on Daniel's, and he lets out a big sigh.
Back at Mode, Henry walks in. LaManda tells him he just missed his girlfriend. Henry, in the mode of a cool character, says he doesn't know how many times he has to tell Betty that's not the way he rolls. He's sweet like sugar and soft like suede, but unlike a piano, he never gets played. HA! LaManda wants to play Henry like Stevie Wonder plays a baby grand. She asks where Henry has been all her life, and he says, "...Math camp." All this time, of course, Betty is sneaking in the office. Henry! Using his masculine wiles!
At Casa de Suarez, Ignacio hears a noise and goes up to Betty's room, where he finds Yoga. She says that she's from the cable company. This dumb cover leads Claire to reveal herself, and ask how many homes Yoga broke into before she got caught. They bicker until Claire shakes Ignacio's hand and tells him it's nice to see him again. Can these two PLEASE go on the all-fictional-characters season of The Amazing Race? They would totally beat down George and Izzie, not to mention Charlie Sheen and his brother or gay lover or whatever the other guy on that show is.
At Mode, Henry and Betty have made it to the executive floor. They do some cute mild couple-y bickering, which is not nearly as cute as Claire and Yoga's medium-to-severe couple-y bickering. As they smooch, the door behind them opens to reveal Wili and Marc already in Bradford's office. Wili quips, "If I ate lunch, now would be the time to lose it," and we head to commercials.
When we return, all four will hunters make like they're looking for a memento to remember their dying fiancé/girlfriend's boss's dying father by. They pace the floor in an intricate dance of intrigue, opening drawers and looking behind filing cabinets, until Wili says she can't bear another minute in the room with Tweedledee and Tweedlediego. She proposes that they all agree to find the will, read it together, wash their hands, and go on with their lives. Wili asks Betty whether she thinks Wili enjoys scheming, lying, and scurrying around like some rat with great cheekbones. Betty thinks she does, and Wili says maybe she does, a little. But she's tired of the drama. Betty announces that the will is in the wall safe, and that she has the combination. Written on her palm in ballpoint pen, of course. I'm surprise there's not a telltale smudge on her brow already.
Back at Casa de Suarez, Ignacio expresses concern over what Betty's doing to help Claire. Claire says that Betty's doing it for Daniel, and Ignacio is surprised about this given the way Daniel treated her. He's just about to tell Claire and Yoga about Daniel's finkdom when Hilda bursts in the room. Claire and Yoga hide. Well, okay, Yoga just puts Betty's stuffed bunny in front of her face, and upon discovery says she's the exterminator. Claire pops up and tells Yoga she's the worst fugitive in the world. But she still lets her live in her soul and drink of her wine. Hilda is shocked.
