It's two weeks since Daniel's been publicly dumped by Sofia, and everyone thinks that he's doing the rounds in Rio. However Betty, fresh from her shift as chip girl at the burrito place, discovers the truth: he's been holed up in his pit of an apartment eating takeout and curling up in the foetal position. He cleans himself up and comes back to Mode, with Betty in tow as co-assistant to the editor in chief, along with Amanda.

Amanda has fallen on the "out" side of the staffing board that accompanies Wilhelmina's (and, by proxy, Bandage Lady's) grand takeover scheme. Marc suggests that Amanda prove her loyalty to the dragon lady, and she does so by sabotaging a date between Daniel and supermodel Giselle that Betty set up to generate some good publicity. Betty saves the day by showing up and having dinner with Daniel herself.

Betty and Daniel get chased by paparazzi and then share some good times as they bond over pizza, karaoke, and Brooklyn. There is some talk of Henry, which makes Betty smile. Meanwhile, Hilda is obsessed with cupcakes, and Bandage Lady is revealed to be Alex Meade, freshly sex changed. And seriously, Rebecca Romijn is really believably post-op when you look closely.
