Episode Report Card Potes: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Derailed

Daniel heads over to Betty's desk. She is picking her teeth, probably as usual. She also looks awfully uncomfortable. Daniel picks up his mail and notes that Stella McCartney is having a party that night. He has plans with Becks, so he asks if Betty wants the invite. Betty takes it anxiously and says "maybe," and Daniel notes that, the week before, he gave her a free calendar from his bank, and she was like, "Shut up! I can have this?" Hey, sometimes those calendars come in handy. Betty says that she needs to talk to Daniel, and he heads to his office saying that he needs to call Chloe from Prada first. Betty then stands up and yells, "YOUR MOTHER KILLED FEY SOMMERS!" just as the UPS (or, rather, WPS) guy puts some boxes down in front of her. He helpfully says that she doesn't need to sign as Daniel looks at Betty in shock.
Cut to Wili's office. Marc is organizing some limes. Literally. Wilhelmina vents in a vexed manner that Alexis and Daniel were being so nice to each other. She tells Marc to stop fondling her limes and do something. I've used that line before. Marc tells her to breathe some happy air, and then says that he'll put a Gay-PB out among the assistants and find out what's going on. He picks up the phone, and in walks Christina, asking in an irritated manner if Wili needs something hemmed. Wili says that Christina isn't there to stitch, she's there to snitch. Marc adds, "She needs information, bitch." They both look at him, and Marc says he thought they were rhyming. He's like the gay Nipsey Russell. (The gayer Nipsey Russell?) Wili asks if Betty has told Christina what's going on with Alexis and Daniel. Christina asks what she means, and Wili tells her not to be a clock. I am totally using that line, along with last week's truly excellent "dump truck." Wilhelmina says that the cold front between the Meade boys has clearly thawed, and asks who turned up the heat. Before Christina can answer (or, more likely, refuse to answer), Marc has the skinny: word is that Alexis has nothing on her calendar -- nobody's returning her calls, she has no lunch dates, etc. She's reaching out for her brother because she's friendless. Awwww. Coming back from the dead can be hell on your social life. Or so I've heard. Wili says that this could mean an in for her. Christina makes an exit, saying that she's not part of the evil collective, and is going to get back to sewing. After she's left, Wili notes that Christina could be trouble. Wili tells Marc to make sure the pasty seamstress stays on their side, and orders him to become her best friend and be her new Betty. Marc says that he guesses he has to start eating potatoes.
