Episode Report Card Angel Cohn: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Rebound

"Let's do this bitch." Wili preps her fabulous entrance, and Amanda immediately falls in line with Marc (as it should be.) The family Meade and Betty face off against Wili and Marc in the tunnel, she talks about a fresh start, while setting Daniel up for an awkward hug/shove that makes a perfect photo op. And Oh. My. God. The handbags that are beautifully displayed in the tunnel are this vivid blue, with knives in them and red tassels hanging out of them. Genius. Wili and Marc head off to dust off Wili's old office, celebrate being back and plot to divide the house of Meade. Delicious. "You are a horror movie I wish would never end," says Marc. Amen to that.
Paranoid Daniel is freaked that Wili is after his job and has nightmares where she stabs him with a stiletto and turns into a bat. Oh Daniel, Wili is so much more clever than that! Give the evil witch some credit. Alexis is wearing a suit jacket that exposes her bra while she says that she and Daniel need to stick together. Like that will happen.
Claire gives Betty a writing job, tasks her with penning an article on the youth perspective. She says she's short four pages of content, but then she asks for 300 words. Um, I know magazines have big print, but there had better be a lot of pictures going with this article. I'm already at 700 words here and we haven't even gotten to the credits. But, there I go again, thinking in reality. Betty is all unsure of herself, and goes to get lunch for the office at Gio's deli. Seriously, wasn't this show all about how people never eat?
Mandy finds Marc, gives him "mad props" on the dramatic entrance and then turns the convo to her favorite topic: herself. She shows off the intro for her new reality series, Daddy's Little Girl, with her dad Gene Simmons. Haven't you heard? Gene Simmons, fame whore, is her dad. And in case she didn't mention, she's the offspring of Gene Simmons and Fey Summers. Marc acts the dutiful friend and tells her she's going to be a reality TV star, which is apparently the goal of every pretty girl with non-specific talent. Hit the nail on the head with that one. Then Mandy gets all diva and tells Marc he can't be on her show because he's blurry. Bitch. Love it though. I'm so glad that these two are back sniping at each other.
Gio's Deli. Betty unwittingly flirts with Gio, who makes her laugh and gives her a cookie. He's perfect for her. They squabble a bit, he says she wants him to be her rebound guy. She's torn, I love Henry still, but Gio feeds me...and then he kisses her. Smack on the lips. She kisses back. But then slaps him. Be careful, Betty, he looks like he may be into that kind of thing.
