In the latest episode, Willamina began to realize she needed help at “Mode,” and set out to steal Betty away from Daniel. When Betty saw the opportunity to return to the job she loved, she was conflicted, and she and Daniel fought. She thought he wasn’t happy at “Player” either, but he claimed he was. He said it with such joy too, how could you not believe him.

Betty went to work for Willy, which had Mark seeing red . . . especially when Willy wanted Betty to inject her with Botox.

We got a hilarious fantasy of Betty as Willy, running around screaming and firing everyone. However it was a wake-up call for her, she did not want to end up that person.

Mark ended up engineering Daniel’s return to “Mode.” It seemed he had been hiding a ton of letters people had written in praising the magazine under Daniel. He allowed Betty to find them, knowing she’d take them to Daniel to snap him out of it and give up “Player” and fight to get back to “Mode.”

Willy threw a big party basically for herself and for the relaunch of “Mode.” It was stormed by Alexis and Daniel. As it turns out, Willy’s relaunch spent a lot of money and was the lowest selling magazine in months. She demoted Willy back to creative director and Daniel back to editor-in-chief. Woohoo! Claire had an especially great scene with Willy telling her never to try and threaten her family again, and to remember she is only here because of the baby. Loves Claire! I also hope we will be seeing more of Alexis too, as it was rumored she’s be recurring after the first 2 episodes this season.

Also going on, Hilda finally had to tell Betty that Coach Diaz had a wife, after Betty saw photos of him kissing another woman on his cell phone (which Amanda stole for fun). Betty told Hilda this was wrong, but she claimed it was complicated. No surprise that later in the show when she called the Coach, he was with his wife. Is he lying to her about how over he and the wife really are? He’s starting to look sleazy!

Daniel got some bad news about his son, the son’s maternal grandparents were fighting for custody of him. Daniel didn’t know what to do, he wanted to do what was best for the kid and what the kid wanted. The boy said he wanted to stay with Daniel, which is what Daniel wanted. This story is starting to bore me unfortunately. I think I’m more annoyed than bored, because of the inability for Daniel and his kid to be able to communicate cause of the language barrier.

Finally the show ended with a huge shock! Christina found out her sick husband was in fact using her, and using himself. He was still a junkie and was using her money she got from Willy for the baby to buy drugs. She was done with him. Poor Christina! Later someone pushed her down a flight of stairs. Uh oh, this isn’t good for the baby. Next week should be good, as it becomes a mystery as to who pushed her. Love that. I don’t know who it could be at this point. I’m sure Claire will look guilty, but I wonder if it might be Mark?
