Meanwhile, Amanda is hazing Nick, Alexis's new assistant, whom she insists on calling "Dick." When he leaves, she asks Marc why nobody told her that Alexis needed a new assistant, noting that she left Daniel's desk because she thought she had a shot at moving up. She wants a career that she can be proud of, and a door that she can close when she's taking a nap. Marc says that it's not too late, and that Nick hasn't been around long enough for them to even figure out why they hate him. Amanda says that she knows why. He's a suck-up, and he won't sleep with her. Marc pipes in that Nick won't sleep with him either. He says that if Amanda wants Alexis to notice her, she needs to be there 24/7 and be willing to do demoralizing things for someone who's too lazy to do them herself. On cue, Wili walks by and Marc offers to lick her envelope. That is not a euphemism. Wili notices the "inky snake" Quincy Combs poking around the office, and asks how he got in the building. She thought there was a gag order against him. Marc says that there should be, and that he's gagging at anyone with Quincy's skin tone wearing that red hat. Amanda says that Alexis is meeting with Quincy, and Wili glares.
Cut to Alexis' office. She tells Quincy that if Bradford were drowning, she would pull up a lawn chair and watch. I would sail by on my party yacht, but to each her own. Quincy expresses surprise at her candor. Alexis says that Quincy is writing a trashy book, and she's dying to trash Bradford. Bradford told Alexis that she was dead to him and tormented Claire by flaunting his affair with Fey. Quincy says, "Flaunted? Fey's diaries made it sound so discreet." Alexis is shocked that Quincy has Fey's diaries, but Quincy says that he goes back a long way with her maid. Alexis asks if there's anything about Claire in them. Quincy says that Fey's writing about Claire was particularly venomous. Alexis wants to know if there's anything in the diaries that might help Claire's defense. Quincy says that he hasn't read anything that could spring Claire from the big house, but the diaries for the last six months of Fey's life are unaccounted for, so there might be something in there. Alexis says that she needs them, but Quincy replies that nobody knows where they are. However, he suspects that they might be in Fey's "secret room." Apparently, Bradford and Fey had daily secret trysts in the Mode office. Which, gross. Fey referred to the room as their "love dungeon." Which, grosser.
