Back at Mode, Wili watches the video of Daniel and Grace having sex on the dirty restaurant floor, and notes that Daniel is always a class act. Wili tells Marc to take his pick from the goodie basket, and holds the incriminating CD, noting that she has a delivery to make.
Soon enough, Alexis is watching the footage. Wili counts down from five, ending exactly as Alexis yells, "That lying bastard!" Wili enters Alexis's office under false pretense, and asks if she's interrupting something. Alexis says that Daniel lied to her, and that he's sleeping with Grace Chin, after saying he didn't know her. Wili notes that it's interesting that Alexis trusted Daniel and he betrayed her. She says that she went through something similar with a former friend. The knife, it twists!
Meanwhile, Christina goes to the bathroom and hears a voice calling for help. It's Amanda, who is standing on top of a toilet. She says she hasn't been able to pee all day. She was simply trying to stand over the toilet, and now she can't get down. Christina gives Amanda a ride on her back like a good Scotswoman.
Back in Daniel's bedroom, Grace tells Daniel that she's going to have to talk to his mother the next day. He says that's fine, but that she might disappear again, because that's what she does. Daniel says that he told Grace his mother's nuts. Grace says that's good, because that will be her defense. She knows that Claire killed Fey. Daniel says that's not true, and Grace says that every time she brings up his mother, Daniel gets all freaked out and then wants to have sex. He either has some weird Oedipal thing, or his mother's guilty. To wit, Daniel asks Grace if she wants to have sex. Grace says that she knows Daniel wants to protect his mother, but that if Claire confesses, Grace can help her. Grace wants to go for an insanity defense, and say that Claire thought Fey was going to kill her. Daniel asks if Grace thinks she can win that way, and Grace says she knows she can. Interrupting this CourtTV-sponsored post-coital bliss is Alexis. She notes that the woman Daniel claims never to have met is in his bed. She does not seem pleased about this, and we head to commercials.
When we return, we're in Queens. As Claire enters Casa de Suarez, she calls it a cute little place she can put right in her pocket. Dr. Farkas says that it looks like Betty has her hands full, and that he's going to take off. Betty says that it's just going to take a couple of minutes, and then they can get back to their date. They have a whole side conversation about pie, and Claire sarcastically notes that you can't bottle that kind of chemistry. She tells Betty that there's a flight to Vladivostok at midnight, and that she really needs the credit card. Betty tries to talk her out of it, and saying that Claire didn't do anything, and that Daniel said she tends to make things up when she's drinking. Claire says that she isn't drinking now, and adds that she had Fey's brake lines cut, followed her for eighteen miles until the fluid ran out, and watched her crash into a tree and burn and burn and burn. Dr. Farkas mouths that he's going to go. And seriously -- worst date ever. Betty asks Dr. Farkas to stay, and says that they're playing a game called "guess the quote," and that the preceding statement was from a movie. Betty guesses Firestarter, and then takes her turn, saying, "You complete me." Dr. Farkas guesses Jerry Maguire, and Betty delightedly notes that he's good at the game. Claire asks for the credit card, and Betty heads upstairs, telling the two of them to keep playing. Dr. Farkas says, "Life is like a box of chocolates," and Claire replies, "I've killed once, I'll kill again." Weekend At Bernie's? Ignacio comes down, and Claire introduces herself, along with Betty's date. Ignacio thinks it's Henry, and Claire straightens him out, saying that Henry was the accountant, but this is the orthodontist. Ignacio tells Dr. Farkas that he seems nice. Claire tells Ignacio that she's seen the accountant, and that he's much hotter. Hey! I like Dr. Farkas. Dr. Farkas yells that he has to go, and Betty yells down the stairs that he should stay, and that she at least owes him a cup of coffee. Ignacio offers to make it, and asks Claire what she takes in her coffee. She says vodka and ice, hold the coffee. General Foods should try that one. As Ignacio helps Claire out of her coat, Constance glares through the window. I predict hijinx.
