Fey's Sleigh Ride

The different departments of the magazine trek through Wilhelmina's office while she searches for the leak. Marc, Betty and Amanda all panic; Amanda starts binge eating; Marc's eyes almost come out of his head while he watches each department fleet by his desk, wishing them luck and hoping they get caught. Betty is walking down the street with groceries when Bradford drives up beside her and asks her about the woman who has been calling. He's says that she's just a crazy woman they fired and asks for specifics. Betty tells him she mentioned a music box. He drives off perturbed.

Wilhelmina finally questions Marc about Carlo and he almost bursts. This is enough the let her know he's guilty. He and Amanda appear on Betty's doorstep moments alter, dragging her away from her mustache remover to tell her that Wilhelmina wants to see them all in the morning: 'She knows!' they shiver. They come in and admire the 'flea-market chic.' Justin comes out to share moisturizer with Marc and Ignacio offers them some flan. They want to out Carol and let her take the blame. Betty is upset that she has to keep secrets. Her father tells her that sometimes you have to keep secrets to stay alive.

The next morning, the unlikely trinity all get into the elevator together and Carol climbs in with them. She tells them that she'll miss them while Marc hyperventilates in a bag and they each mutter 'Fat Carol' as she strolls out ahead of them to Wilhelmina's office.

In his office, Daniel finds a music box, exactly like the one his mother had. She received it before setting their attic on fire. He tells Betty that it was sent to her by his father's mistress to rub the affair in her face, he opens it and finds a fragment of Fey's license plate and sunglasses. She tells him she has an appointment with Wilhelmina. He says to be careful about what she says. She finds Justin waiting for her at her desk and Hilda calls to say that he doesn't have a report for a class, he's just ditching school. She tries to tell him that it's not such a great place; it's full of lies and deception. Moments later in Wilhelmina's office, Marc says that they all saw the same thing: Fat Carol leaking the spread. Wilhelmina asks Betty if that's what she saw. Within a moment of panic, she confesses it really was her. After an icy moment, she tells them that they can go. Flabbergasted, they ask why Betty isn't getting fired. Wilhelmina says that she had another informant, Fat Carol didn't just tell Carlo everything she slept with him: She gets the axe. They get out before she changes her merciful mind. Carlo meets with Wilhelmina after. She says that he's a 'slimy manipulative bastard' and asks him to become her spy.

At the photoshoot, Justin shows off his Ralph Lauren vest to Marc who tells him to 'be who you are, wear what you want, but learn to run really fast.' Bradford comes down and is dismayed by the shoot. He doesn't like their excuses for not telling him about the theme before, but says the shoot might be better than the original. Daniel produces the music box and sets it on the sleigh. 'It's almost identical to the one mom had.' Bradford's uncomfortable and strides out. Artificial snow begins to fall. 'It hides what's ugly and makes everything beautiful.'

Queen's Girl

Betty is trying to get into a party while all the beautiful people pass by. The bouncer tells her to come back Monday night when they'll let anyone in. It's a cover party for Daniel's first issue of Mode. Wilhelmina hooks up with Marc who gives her the low down on who's there. Bradford follows Daniel around; trying to make sure he does more than chat up young girls. Wilhelmina congratulates him on his success while she goes on about the success de scandale of other fashion editors before he rolls his eyes and vanishes into the crowd.

Bradford comes to visit Wilhelmina who offers him an elaborate run down of everything she's done that morning. 'Some people are naturals,' she says before assuring him that she's 'got Daniel's back.' In the cramped elevator, Amanda asks Betty if she skipped the party for a sale at the 99 cent store before they fan out across the office. Daniel is panicking about the fact that he doesn't know what he's doing. This is going to change. He is getting frustrated while looking over past issues to see where he has been going wrong. Marc zips Wilhelmina up while they gossip that Daniel is trying to rip off his own dead brother Alex. This is a sure sign of impending doom. This goes into the evening, while he runs himself down for not being his brother. His brother was everything to their father: He was the favorite. Betty doesn't like to admit that father's have favorites and tucks into some Chinese food.

We go back and forth between two beauty salons. As Wilhelmina gets her massage while drinking champagne, Betty gets her unibrow plucked and is showered in hairspray before emerging like a second rate drag queen in a bouffant hairstyle. She goes out onto the street and sweaty construction workers whistle at her to her delighted surprise. She gets in the elevator with Bradford who, uncomfortably, looks her over and tells her she looks 'taller' when she re-introduces herself. Marc snaps a shot of her when she walks in, saying to himself that he's found his new screensaver before giggling.

The Book

Betty happily sets up her new office with a full array of kitsch items that cause her co-workers to cringe and guffaw. Marc gives her kudos with his tongue firmly in his cheek before being called away by Wilhelmina. Daniel then calls Betty into his office to confront her about telling the media what kind of shoes he was wearing (they were made with slave labor). He then invites her to sit in on a meeting with her favorite actress Natalie Whitman, which she enthusiastically accepts.
