It's All Gucci

Betty has wandered back to street vender and is fingering the purse she saw earlier with Christina, looking sad. She hears her name and turns to see Bradford Meade summoning her from a car window. He needs to see her in his office at 10:30 sharp. He doesn’t want anyone to know, especially Daniel. His auto drives away.

Back at the office, Betty enters with a smile to find Daniel studying the book she gave him. She has his expense reports ready for his signature. They discuss the upcoming evening with Oshi, and Wilhelmina enters in time to give some unsolicited advice about champagne and the red flowers that Betty had on order. Wilhelmina insists he hates color. She is nicely reminded by Daniel that it is his evening and his decisions. As she leaves, she questions Betty about Marc’s help with the expense report and can’t resist making one last suggestion—that Betty make sure that Oshi’s stretch limo is white. Daniel reminds Betty to get the expense to report to accounting, requesting a bagel and coffee. She has to pick up the tab as he is short on cash.

Betty’s recollections continue with running into the accounting office and Henry’s desk. He mentions how she likes to cut deadlines close, and she questions why she didn’t get the memo. He tells her she was on the list. She eyes the coffee and bagel on his desk, asks if he takes his coffee with sugar, and then grabs them and flees; calling back that she’ll make it up to him.

In Bradford’s office, Betty enters carrying the coffee and bagel, explaining that a crowded elevator made her late. He assumes the food and drink are for him, and she hands them over. He asks if she knows why she is there, and she takes a deep breath, saying, “Sir, it was just a pack of post-its, and I swear I’ll bring it back. I love my job.” Bradford gives her a strange look and tells her it’s not about post-its, it’s about physical responsibility. People are questioning Daniel’s ability to handle finances, and Betty assures Bradford that having just turned in Daniels’ expensive account, he is doing a fine job. Bradford asks her to protect his son, and she agrees. He wants her to keep it a secret, reminding her who signs her paycheck. Betty can’t help it. She has to tell him, “Yes sir, but you sure take a lot out of it.”

Betty runs back toward her office, passing a beaten and scratched Amanda who is holding an ice pack to her cheek. She tells Betty that Daniel has been calling around for her and he isn’t happy. Upon walking into Daniel’s office, Betty is looking at the back of someone sitting in a chair. Daniel is behind the desk and demands to know where she has been. She uses the bagel and coffee excuse, and her face falls when the Henry from accounting turns around and asks her if she found any cream cheese. She tries to explain, but Daniel erupts, telling her it isn’t about bagels, it’s about the expense account. Henry rejected $20,000 in miscellaneous expenses and Daniel is responsible. He questions how she could list everything as miscellaneous, and Betty explains she used Wilhelmina’s report as an example. Daniel is concerned about how he will look to his father, and Betty questions if Bradford gets a copy. Henry tells her yes, that he is copied on any credit suspensions. Daniel is shocked to hear his card is suspended. The dinner with Oshi is in question. The phone rings. Betty answers, “Yes sir, I’ll tell him.” She turns to Daniel, saying, “Your father...”

We switch to Betty relating the story to Christina and then back to Daniel’s office. He’s splayed out on the couch, defeated, while Betty can’t believe he only has $327 in his account. He admits blowing through his trust fund like he was Michael Jackson. His paycheck barely covered his loft payment and he’s been living on his credit card. Daniel is bemoaning the arrival of Oshi and he this whole situation will make Daniel look irresponsible to his father. He imagines that Bradford will make her the editor in a snap. He swears Betty to secrecy, and she replies, “Okay…sure we can work our way out of it. We’ll think of something.”

Betty finally makes it down to Christina’s area where they are just a few items dangling from hangers and littering the floor. Christina is glad Betty came, assuring her there are a few goodies left. She pulls out the Gucci bag and gives it to Betty, who tries to refuse it. But Christina insists because fashion is good for the soul. Betty is awed, saying it’s the nicest thing she ever owned. Christina tells her not to put her crayons this one.

Back at Betty’s house, she is passing out a few other goodies to her family members. Ignacio comments on her handbag and recalls the same one Betty did. The share a poignant moment before Betty explains the pharmacy costs. He takes the news in stride, comments that his new watch is wonderful and she has a beautiful new bag.

Switch from the kitchen to Betty’s room, where she is laying on her bed looking at the bag and a picture of her mother. She grabs the bag to her chest and the scene fades to black.

Back in the elevator, this time the same woman is impressed and wants to touch Betty’s new bag. Marc gets on and sees the Gucci hanging on Betty’s arm, and looks at Christina with rage. She simply claims to have found it, but he’s not buying it. He argues that Betty doesn’t deserve the bag. She doesn’t know what to do with it, that it’s touching polyester. Yuk! When Christina disagrees and say’s Betty is wearing it very nicely, Marc swings around and clunks Betty in the head with the large orange cylinder that he’s carrying. His ‘oops’ isn’t very sincere.
