Back at Mode, Betty gets in on the intervention action. She tells Daniel that she's used to going around after him and cleaning up his messes, but ever since he broke up with Renee, there's not a pooper-scooper big enough. She's all for the therapy idea, and certifies that Daniel is insane based on some Google research. If you want things in your life to be different, she says, you must do things differently. Therefore, Daniel should do the opposite of what his instinct says: namely, go to therapy. And Betty has already made him a 2:00 appointment. I guess that's settled, then!
Betty gears up for her lunch date with Henry, but he drops by to deliver bad news. Charlie's yoga partner has cancelled, and apparently she can't spend an hour alone. Betty points out that Charlie is doing this on purpose, and wants to get between them because she hates Betty. Henry knows, but also hoped that the two of them could be friends. Yeah, the girlfriend and the baby mama are always tooootally tight. Ask any number of basketball players. But then Betty gets inspired by her own advice, and decides to do things differently. Something tells me she's going to find out just how ineffective her advice actually is. Cut to Charlie rolling out a yoga mat. Who is there to meet her but Betty -- her yoga partner for the day...and her friend. With that, we get some well-deserved commercials.
When we return, Charlie is pretty skeptical of Betty's newest cockamamie scheme. She says they can't be yoga partners, or friends. Betty reminds her how well they got along when they first came to town -- Betty even bought her a brownie! And she has a brownie now. As Charlie has gestational diabetes it could kill her if she ate it but, er, nice try. Betty tries to chat Charlie up in downward dog, and Charlie hisses at her to go away. Like peanut butter and arsenic, those two.
Meanwhile, it's time for Hilda to meet with Coach Diaz. Wait, let me say that again -- smokin' hot Coach Diaz. The "smokin' hot" aspect is not lost on Hilda. She explains that she wrote notes to excuse Justin from gym class, because he's not an athlete. Coach Diaz is like freaking Posture Pete, and says all Justin needs to do is show up. And, like, put on his tube socks. He is not fazed by Hilda's threats, and says that even she could use a gym class. Maybe he has a chin-up bar installed above his bed? I'm certain he did when he was Cole Deschanel on Sunset Beach.
Back at yoga, Betty continues to kill Charlie with her forced kindness. Their energy is so bad that the yoga instructor kicks them out. On their way out, Charlie angrily says that this weekend she was supposed to be in Tucson having a baby shower with her friends. And then Betty does it. She offers to throw Charlie a baby shower. Tomorrow. I think she needs to re-Google the definition of insanity and scroll down a little further.
