Episode Report Card Potes: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Betty's Wait Problem
By Potes | Season 2 | Episode 3 | Aired on 10.10.2007
When we return, Wili's treating Alexis to a makeover and saying she's there for her, because that's what best friends are for, even though Alexis can't remember Wili being her best friend. Wili keeps smiling and keeps shining as she pulls out their "Wilhelmina And Alexis BFF" scrapbook. There are pictures of the two at fashion week, drunk at a karaoke bar, square dancing, standing naked behind a surfboard, and marching in a gay pride parade. Well done, Marc. Alexis asks if they were, well, you know, and Wili denies it. But really, who knows what might have happened back when the bandages were still on? Wili then spills the beans about her engagement to Bradford. Alexis is taken aback.
Meanwhile, Amanda confesses to Marc that she's bummed that Bradford isn't her father, because he's so rich and bald. Marc reminds us of her Daddy Warbucks fantasy, and Amanda hilariously says, "I don't know why that's so strong." Marc schemes about what Amanda's new status as Fey's daughter can get them, and decides that her coming-out party will be at the Black And White Ball. It was Fey's big event, and every year, she would show up in a red dress and say, "Black And White Ball? I guess I didn't get the memo." Amanda is all in, with the dog to boot. The two go to Henry, whom they repeatedly call "Grubstank," to see if they can get their checks early. Henry opens a can of Proud To Be A Grubstick whoop-ass, and the two slink off, noting that they've never been so attracted to anyone. An emboldened Henry leaves a message for Charlie, who certainly puts the "stank" in Grubstank.
Elsewhere at Mode, Justin asks Daniel if he knows how to play basketball. He wants to learn how to play, he says, because his dad loved it. Try flipping down your collar first, there, sonny boy. Daniel, never a fan of work to begin with, heads off with Justin to shoot some hoops.
Outside the building, Betty flags down Rico, whose name is actually Gio, and says she talked to Daniel and he has his job back. Turns out he doesn't want it, since the job was taking away from his five-year plan of opening his own sandwich place, complete with the world's longest condiment bar. I do love a good condiment. Betty, still feeling guilty, asks Gio if she can pay him to drive her to get the wheelchair in his van. Gio, a fan of being paid, is all for it.
Back at the hospital, Wili explains the commencement of her relationship with Bradford, which somehow started with soup. Alexis is peeved, but Wili schemes her way into Alexis's sympathies. Alexis woke up from this coma a lot dumber, didn't she?
