Henry is the manager of a band formed by his accountant friends called the IRS (internal rhythm service) and is stressing over the lead singer’s lack of talent. When Daniel arrives at the gig to show his support, he is hit on by guest star Gabrielle Union (Renee). The two totally hit it off and head back to Daniel’s apartment when a familiar voice comes out of nowhere “That is not the boob you think you’re touching”. Woah- beyond awkward. Turns out, Claire Meade was spending the night at Daniel’s because her own place was giving her too many bad memories.
Meanwhile, Christina is also spending time at an apartment she doesn’t belong at. She is under strict orders by Wilhelmina (“Legs up!”) and is trapped there until it can be confirmed that she is pregnant.
Still on the search for her father, Amanda and Marc come up with a creative way to get his attention. Since Gene Simmons is a musician, the best way to get his attention would be to write a song about him being Amanda’s father! Now all she needed was a band to play with her. Henry’s band, the IRS needed a new lead singer… it was a win-win situation for both.
We open this week with Betty lying down on the floor of Gio’s deli, glass shattered all around her, unconscious, and in handcuffs?! What happened? Flashback, 3 days earlier…
Wil and Marc totally play out the pity party act, asking Christina to carry the child for her because she is unable to *sniff sniff*. “Bono and Sheryl Crow should do a charity concert for her lady parts” an upset Marc comments. Of course, Christina has no idea that Wil’s egg was sperminated by a dead Bradford Meade. “In my womb?!” an appalled Christina replies to the request to which Marc responds “Well we would ask for your purse, but we don’t want a baby that grew in a Gucci knock-off” . Wil lies and says that the baby was conceived by an anonymous donor and that they will offer her a grand sum of $100 000 (which coincidentally matches up with the amount of Stuart’s medical expenses). Disgusted, Christina tells them that her uterus is closed to devil spawn. Good for you Christina!
What better way to bring back Ugly Betty but with an episode surrounding fashion week! Justin’s class comes in for a tour of Mode but the teeny boppers seem to be more interested in what Gisele is eating than the world of publishing. The tweeners skip lunch when a clan of near-anorexic models walk by and give them a severe dose of thinspiration. Disgusted by the tweeners’ obsession with weight, Betty makes a brave proposal to Daniel about using real, healthy models as a theme for their show at fashion week. Milan did it last year- and Daniel would get a ton of publicity for Mode while Betty can help change the perspectives of young girls everywhere- a win-win situation for both!
