    Alexis' shocking announcement causes great commotion at both Mode and the Meade home. Betty tries to maintain the peace and order at Mode, however, she is about to face her own personal turmoil when Henry asks her out on a date and Walter tells her he's got a big surprise in store. Meanwhile, Whilhelmina plots her next move to conquer Mode and Justin gets sent home from school for fighting. This is a very good episode. At first, Alexis seems like the bad guy, but as you get to know her later in the season, shes a lot nicer, and is a great character, she delivers some great lines. Alexis: Okay, let's just cut to it. They soften the jaw, slim the nose, lower the hairline, shave the adam's apple, and then there are the implants: cheeks, breasts, ass. I'll spare the more graphic details, but just to put a rumor to rest, they don't save it in a jar.moreless

    thank god that little pip squeek has finally left our screens, I sincerely hope he never returns. Henry very fickle though dumping her before they even got started, silly boy. Though am shouting hurrrah at Walter's departer. he was just lame and an unconvincing character in real life. Big score thanks to his disappearence, though i kinda wish they killed him off so he cant make any surprise comebacks

    We see more of Claire Meade this episode which is due and every interaction she has with Betty is hilarious especially at the spa; Alexis and Daniel fight; Bradford is in jail following Alex-is' announcement; Wilhelmina becomes Editor-in-Chief...for under an hour; and Betty and Walter break-up - THANK GOD. I couldn't stand him any longer.

    This was a jam-packed episode full of secrets, scheming, scandals, confrontations and more scheming. What more can you ask for from a great show. Fey Sommer's killer is revealed - to be Mrs Meade. Shocking. We see a good old brother/brother fight that leads to a make-up which is witnessed by Wilhelmina via camera.

    This was very moving and funny!moreless

  • Daddy Meade is in prison for murdering Fay. His new daughter/oldest son behaves like he's had no home training. And Betty 'splains what it is that families do. We see there's nothing like a mother!moreless

    A continuation of the dysfunctional family theme is accented in this episode. Sons and fathers, sister to sister, surrogate daughter to Mom, Moms and sons, brother to brother: yeah, it's all in there.

    Daddy's still in jail courtesy of the evidence provided by his loving son/daughter Alex and that scheming Wilhemina. There's major power struggles going on at the publishing house, and Daniel and Alex go at it as only loving brothers can. Mama tries to intervene, by taking the boys to Coney Island, but ultimately decides that self-medicating is a better choice. Poor Willy is left on the sidelines, watching the view on her OrchidCam, waiting to see how the power play ends. That's just pitiful. After all that danged work and scheming! Hilda attempts to cover her breasts and butt to save her son's face, but then decides she is who she is. And Justin is just fine with that. Henry comes clean with Betty about his girlfriend. I really like that boy. With all the trash-talking that goes on about men, who'd a thunk we find ourselves a cute, honest one? Mama Meade makes a big confession.

    I watched this episode with my jaw dropped for a good part of it, trying to decipher how these people got this way. Especially the Family Meade. How exactly did Alex get so mean and bitter? I do not know. But Amazon Becky does an outstanding job of portraying her!

    Fun lines: Daddy Meade to Daniel when he's asked how he's getting along in prison"Just like the club, except all the caddies carry shivs."

    Or when Henry and Betty, endearing as always, arrange to make a datejust as friends"Great! Another friend. (but he so doesn't want it that way; poor Henry)

    And Betty and Daniel sharing philosophy of family dynamics with one another:
    Daniel: Betty, she fired me. What am I supposed to do?
    Betty: You forgive her. That's what families do. They forgive each other.
    Daniel: Then our families are very different!

    Truer words were never spoken; but all families have their issues, darling.

    But the best exchange of the episode is shared between Betty and Clare Meade when she comes to visit Daniel at the office
    Claire: Who are you?
    Betty: Betty Suarez, Daniel Meade's assistant. Who are you?
    Claire: Claire Meade, Daniel Meade's mother. I win.

    And today's lesson comes courtesy of Daniel: face your relationship issues head on, cause "It's a lot harder avoiding people than facing them!"

    This was truly fun to watch; I look forward to more!moreless
