When we return, Wili has found a new seeing-eye gay. It's Justin! Someone says hello, and Wili asks if they know who it is. Justin says that it's Kayla Brooks, fashion correspondent for New York One. He adds that she's in a midnight blue Chanel with pewter buttons and navy stockings. Wili asks if it's a mistake, and Justin says, "Colossal, she looks like a mailbox." Ha! Wili says, "You're good, Jason," and Justin replies, "It's Justin, but you can call me whatever you want, I love you." Double ha! Justin is a hag fag. Aren't we all, really?
Meanwhile, Amanda and Marc are plotting about how to get the faux rabbit fur micromini off of the model who insists on still wearing it. Marc asks if he should club her and strip her of it, while Amanda suggests that he drag her into a porta-potty and seduce her out of it. Marc opts for the clubbing. Amanda says, "For God's sake, Dorothy, do you want to go to Mantasy Island or what?" Another line that could be found on The Golden Girls! I like this show more and more every minute. Amanda slaps Marc and tells him to be a man.
We cut back to Hilda, who is doing hair for the Mode show. She ends a story thus: "Well, it was my first time drinking mezcal! I didn't know it was a worm!" I don't even want to know. Betty comes stomping in to ask about the Henry message, and then asks what Hilda is doing. Hilda says that Christina needed help, specifically from someone with a background in big hair, and who knows big hair better than Hilda? Hilda says that she's really liking this, and could maybe turn it into a full-time thing. Betty says that Hilda shouldn't even be there, and grabs a can of hairspray from her hands, saying that Betty will do it. Oh, yeah, Betty's going to do someone's hair. Nice. This is, in fact, exactly what Hilda says, and the two battle with their cans of Aqua Net. Then the model lights a cigarette, and poof! It's Michael Jackson and Pepsi circa 1984 all over again. A quick-thinking staffer throws a blanket on the model's head, thank goodness. Betty takes a deep breath and says that she's had enough, and that The Hilda Show is over. She tells Hilda to go home, because she's fired. Hilda puts one finger in Betty's face, because she will always put her finger in Betty's face, and then turns, grabs her coat, and leaves. The singed model asks if she's done.
And now, back to the almost creepy incest storyline. Daniel chats up Alex/is, asking if she's in the fashion industry. Alex/is says she isn't yet, but that she's hoping to make a big splash. Betty comes running in, obviously frazzled, with a coffee for Daniel. Daniel asks her what's going on, saying that he knows he's dumped a lot on her over the week, but that she's doing a great job. He gives a little pep talk about how awesome she is, and how he's going to make sure that she gets the credit for her great work during Fashion Week. Betty runs off as Daniel goes back to Alex/is, who notes that he's not the Daniel Meade she thought he'd be. Daniel flirtily asks where Alex/is is getting her information from, and Alex/is says that she has a little confession. She starts off with "Your brother..." as tension-filled music fills the air tensely. She then anticlimactically says that she used to date him. Daniel is all, "...Huh."
