By Potes | Season 2 | Episode 6 | Aired on 10.31.2007
When we return, the ever-helpful yet gross Becks is there to hear Daniel's tale of a woeful meeting with the advertisers. Becks looks at the list of advertisers he's going after before saying that they have a winner with Sandra Winthrop, who owns a jewelry company. She's over fifty and foxy, says Becks. Daniel wonders if Becks is saying what he thinks he's saying, and Becks replies that if you want to land your advertiser, you have to land your advertisers. Soon he'll be asking why a raven is like a writing-desk.
Back at Casa de Suarez, Justin catches Hilda in a lie and gets her to admit that she's working at High Beams. Turns out she offered some "constructive suggestions" to one of the stylists at Bumble and Bumble and got canned. So now, she has to show her cans. She didn't want to tell her family because they were so proud that she was following her dream. But with salon offers hard to come by, she had to be practical. They needed the money more than she needed to follow her dreams, she says. Justin looks sad.
Meanwhile, it's time for a trip to the theater! Betty and Henry, dressed to the nines, enter the lobby and both agree that they can be out as a couple, because they don't know anyone there. Oh. Except Gio. He tells them not to worry, because he won't tell anyone about their secret thing. Betty asks if his date is some trampy blonde he met on the E train. Vicious queen alert! Gio says that maybe they'd like to meet her, and it turns out it's his pre-teen sister Antonella. Upon being introduced, Antonella asks Betty if she isn't a little old for braces. Awww, it's a little Amanda in training! Things get worse as Betty spies Daniel with Sandra, his cougar of a potential advertiser, played by Marlo Thomas! But I thought she was Lebanese? Wacka wacka. Betty sends Henry off with Antonella and grabs Gio. They make small talk with Daniel and Sandra, and Daniel notes that their seats are right next to each other. I don't know how Betty and Henry possibly think that their relationship can become more doomed than it is now. As it happens, Antonella's not too keen about her new date, either. Commercials.
When we return, we're in the middle of Wicked. Henry and Betty text each other; Gio gags. Gio also notes to Betty that Daniel is putting the moves on Sandra, and has even gone so far as to implement the armrest boob graze. He would go for that move first. Betty asks Daniel what he's doing, and says he's better than this. Daniel says that Alexis might be better than this, but that the only trick he has up his sleeve is his golden pickle. Gio could maybe give him some wax paper to wrap that in.
