The three of them implode together under the stress of trying to keep the secret (Marc starts carrying an inhaler everywhere; Amanda inhales all the food in sight), but it turns out that they weren't entirely to blame after all, and I think they might even be a little bit friendly now. In other news: Betty's dad has a fake Social Security number, and Daniel realizes that not only was his father having an affair with Fey, but he may have killed her off.	10.18.2006 10.24.2006	A	Jessica

Sadly, although the kids in Queens think she looks awesome, Betty gets a rather humiliating dressing-down from Wilhelmina for her new look, and gets all sobby in the bathroom and refuses to go along to lunch. Anyway, blah blah blah of course Betty ends up showing up at the lunch anyway, and yada yada yada looks aren't everything and she saves the day, thwarting Wilhelmina in the process.	10.11.2006 10.17.2006	B-	Jessica

Also, Non-Dead Fey Sommers places a very mysterious call to Daniel, telling him to investigate his father a little more closely, just as Bradford breaks into Fey's old apartment and starts burning items he feels might be incriminating.	10.04.2006 10.09.2006	B	Jessica
1-1 Recap	Pilot Pilot - Betty doesn't exactly fit in at Mode Magazine, where she's been hired as the assistant to the editor-in-chief simply because the owner of said company doesn't want said editor -- his son -- to sleep with his assistant. Again. Of course, Daniel -- the aforementioned horny editor-in-chief -- spends forty-five minutes trying to humiliate Betty into quitting, only to be won over in the end by her pluck, her smarts, and the clever editorial campaign she comes up with for a Donatella Versace-esque Gina Gershon.	09.27.2006 10.02.2006	B+	Jessica
