Meanwhile, the Mode receptionists are dealing with all the calls about the scandal. Amanda asks whether the person she's talking to has any job openings. Betty runs after Daniel, saying that the Times called for a quote, Dr. Phil called offering his services, and E! called wanting to do a reality show about the Meade family. Daniel tells Betty to tell them all no, and then orders Betty to call a staff meeting for 11:00 to actually, you know, talk about work stuff. They're way behind on the swimsuit issue. Betty nods, and then comments that Daniel's sister is in the building if Daniel wants to see her. Daniel is all, "I don't have a sister," like, get an original retort for once, toolshed. He asks for lots of coffee.
And Betty's quest for coffee provides the perfect setting for her to run into Henry! He says that you know it's bad when paparazzi are stalking accountants. Betty says that they were following her, too, and thought her glasses and nose were a disguise. Aw. Henry says that he likes Betty's glasses and nose. Henry also has a soft spot for girls who look like they're wearing Nixon masks. And then, Henry asks if Betty has any interest in going to see Wicked with him the next night. Betty asks how he knew that she wanted to go, and he notes that she was singing "Popular" in the elevator, and then started talking about how much she wanted to go see it. Subtle! Betty says that she relates to the whole green girl/feeling like an outsider thing, and would love to go see the show with him. He says that it's a date, and then Betty has to go into the whole "But Walter" speech. Henry says that he hadn't heard her mention Walter in a while, and Betty says that it's complicated. She says that maybe she and Henry can still go as friends. Henry says he guesses they can do that, and then, as he walks off, fake-enthusiastically grumbles, "Great! Another friend."
Meanwhile, Wilhelmina is taking the Polaroids off of her "out" wall. Marc enters and announces that word of the takeover has coursed through the office; he presents her with a bouquet and card from someone named Leslie. Wili says that if Leslie wanted to suck up, she should have done her research and known that Wili hates peonies. Marc trashes the bouquet, and then asks Wili why Daniel still gets to call meetings, since they're in power. Wili says, "Relax, Evita. In due time." Betty would make a pretty good Che, no? Also, two showtunes references in the first eight minutes of the episode makes a pretty strong case for this being the gayest show on TV.
