Meanwhile, Amanda is still wearing "The Amanda." A woman comes up to her and correctly identifies her as the slut from the Jil Sander party. Amanda says that she recognizes the girl as being the skank who was all up in Oswald's pooch. She says that if the girl wasn't so desperate, he might have made "The Amanda" for her. Except he would have called it "The Skank Whore." Sometimes when I watch Amanda, I think that someone projected my ideal self directly from my brain onto the small screen. The girl marches off, and Amanda looks satisfied.
Cut to the West Village, where Betty and Dr. Farkas enter Charlie's party. Betty introduces Henry and Charlie to Dr. Farkas, who says that they can call him Gabe. He gives Charlie a tongue scraper as a birthday present. Betty pretends that she's never seen one before, and Dr. Farkas gravely says that so many people forget about the tongue. First the carrots and corn on the cob and now this. It's really too much for me to handle. Betty notices Charlie's cake and identifies it as the chocolate raspberry cake from Magnolia. Henry says that Charlie's not much for cake, so she just told him to pick his favorite. Betty excitedly says that it's her favorite, too, and Charlie gives them a funny look. As Dr. Farkas leaves to get them drinks, Henry says that Betty didn't tell them she was bringing someone. Betty says that she thought it would be okay. Charlie says that Dr. Farkas is cute, and alluringly adds that he's a dentist. Betty notes that he's an orthodontist, and Charlie gives the thumbs up. Henry asks how long Betty and Dr. Farkas have been seeing each other. Betty vaguely says that they've known each other a while, and that he's a really terrific guy. And hey -- all the free tiny rubber bands you can stand! Charlie overenthusiastically says that the two of them are perfect together, and that their chemistry is obvious. She looks to Henry for confirmation, and he noncommittally says that he just met the guy. Jealous! Well done, Betty! Charlie says that she's all about vibes, and that she's definitely feeling this one. She asks for Betty's and Dr. Farkas's star signs, and offers to do their chart. Betty says okay, and looks back and forth from Henry to Charlie. Henry and Betty are so doing it before the season is over.
Back at Casa de Suarez, Hilda is doing Constance's hair. Constance asks if Hilda is sure that she's going to look like Beyoncé, and Hilda says that, when she's done, Jay-Z is going to be ringing Constance's alarm. Constance says she doesn't need to hear from Jay-Z, because she's only got eyes for one man right now. She says that she wants some insight from Hilda, and asks if Ignacio likes it "up, down, or all around." Ewwwwww. Hilda asks if they're still talking about hair. Constance laughs and says that it's been so long since someone made her tingle. Hilda says that Ignacio does have a way with the ladies, and Constance whips around and asks if she's got competition. Hilda says that there is a certain someone that Ignacio's been seeing for a while, and Constance asks why he didn't tell her this. Hilda says it's because Ignacio's a decent guy and doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings -- especially someone who has done so much for him. Constance says that he didn't need to keep that from her, and that if Ignacio doesn't want her, it's his loss. Hilda agrees, and Constance says to hell with Beyoncé -- Hilda should do her like Mariah. In other words: "Style me in a manner that reflects my inner craziness through giant hair."
