Episode 16 - Derailed

There is a snowstorm in New York. Kind of a lot has happened in recent days, and poor Betty's having stress dreams. And for good reason: she can't help spilling to Daniel that Claire said she killed Fey. Daniel runs it by Bradford, who says that Claire's delusional and implores Daniel to get stellar lawyer (and former college mate/object of Daniel's scorn and standing-up on New Year's Eve) Grace "The" Chin on his case. Grace now happens to be totally hot, and also still bitter. She says that if Daniel wants her to consider taking on his father's case, he has to apologise to every girl he hurt in college. He fakes it by calling Becks, but The Chin believes in Daniel's remorse enough to bang the hell out of him, and then give some details about the case that indicate Claire's involvement.

In the meantime, Claire tells Bradford that she's going to turn herself in. In other Meade family news, Daniel and Alexis are getting along, much to Wilhelmina's chagrin. She chalks it up to the fact that Alexis has no friends, and moves right in with a proposal of a girls' night and two tickets to the opera. The two stop off at a crappy bar first, where they meet Staten Island resident Jerry O'Connell and his loser friends. Alexis wants to dump Wili in favour of flirting, but is devastated when it turns out O'Connell was doing it on a bet because he knows Alexis used to be a dude. Wili decks him, but this isn't enough to get Alexis to forsake Daniel and name Wili Editor-in-Chief. This puts Wili in a terrible mood, and she totally sabotages things for an uncooperative Christina, who has been designing an Oscar dress for Sarah Jessica Parker with office supplies and a little help from Marc.

Meanwhile, Betty meets a new girl named Charlie, and really likes her before she realises that Charlie is Henry's girlfriend. Amanda urges Betty to embrace her inner Mode girl and exploit Charlie's weaknesses, so Betty ditches the already-terrified-of-New-York Charlie on a crowded subway. She confesses this to Henry, and also confesses her feelings for him. The two almost kiss, but Charlie interrupts with her newfound love of New York and intention to stay. Dork love foiled again! And finally, Hilda, Santos, and Justin do some bonding on the subway and Santos finally acknowledges just how awesome he is.
