When we return, Betty confronts Ignacio, who admits that Yolanda is alive. Betty is upset that he lied to her and Hilda, and kept them from the only connection that they have with their mother. Ignacio says that it was Rosa's idea, and that Yolanda hated him. He was a lowly cook, and it was better for her daughter to stay with a husband that beat her than to be with him. The night that they left, Yolanda told Rosa that if she walked out the door with Ignacio, she was dead to her. You know, horrible, dastardly parents really need to get a line other than, "You're dead to me." It's so played out. I think, "I'm coming to live in your spare room, and to pass judgment -- along with gas -- on you constantly, so stock up on the Ben Gay" would be much more effective. Rosa tried to be in contact with Yolanda by sending letters and pictures of Betty and Hilda, but they always came back unopened. She should have put some cash in the envelopes, so that when they came back, she at least could have been like, "My mother still hates me, but,,,hey! Money!" Vanessa comes to take Ignacio to his visa appointment. Betty tells Hilda that she wants to meet Yolanda. Hilda doesn't, and says she sounds like a monster. She asks why Betty wants to meet someone who doesn't want to meet her. Hey, Hilda? Don't make me try to feel bad for wanting to meet my future boyfriend Mr. Clooney, okay? I have my reasons.
Back at Mode, Jordan is impressed by how cool Daniel was when he bungeed. But doesn't being unimpressed by how tool-ish he is generally kind of cancel that out? He wants to have more wild and crazy adventures, and Jordan says she can't believe how much like Alex he's become. He seductively says that he's much better than Alex. Much better than Alex Trebek, maybe. Nah, actually probably not even that. Trebek at least has the right to lord his perfect pronunciation of everything over you. Daniel confesses that the whole time Jordan dated Alex, he had a little crush on her. She replies, "You don't think I knew?" and Daniel leans in and gives her a big smackaroo right on the lips. You know what your therapist might not advise? Hooking up with the brother of the ex you thought was dead but actually had a sex change operation. I'm just saying. But hey, I don't bungee jump either, so what do I know?
