Cut to Betty rushing to Daniel's place. The door opens. There are candles lit everywhere. Run, Betty, run! She calls out for Daniel, but it's Renee who emerges. She says she wanted to spend a special night with Daniel, but here Betty is once again, getting in between them. Betty looks pretty terrified. As you do when faced with a paranoid pyromaniac. Renee carries a lighter and says she isn't going to let Betty have Daniel. She sees how Betty looks at him, and how she talks to him. Betty says she talks to him like, "Hi Daniel! It's Betty!" With a concave amount of sexual overtones. Betty tries to explain that answering phones and making appointments is what assistants do, and as Renee chews on this Betty tries to make a break for it. Even with her sensible shoes, she can't outrun Renee. Renee yells that Daniel sleeps with his assistants, and angrily knocks over a candle. Betty is all, "Look at me! We are totally not doing it!" Plus, she has a boyfriend whom she loves. And she's only spending days and nights with Daniel because it's such a busy time. And because there are some things she doesn't want to talk to Henry about. Renee says that Betty is a liar. Betty starts to explain the whole Henry/Gio thing, presumably to put Renee to sleep. Her cell phone rings -- it's Daniel. Betty screams for help and says that she's at Daniel's place before Renee grabs the phone and hangs it up.
Daniel, meanwhile, is in a limo with Wili and Marc. He explains the situation, and tells the driver to hoof it. Marc says that, though he hopes it doesn't come to this, he knows some very good people who would love to be Daniel's assistant. He is a master of timing.
Back at Daniel's apartment, Betty tries to talk Renee out of her jealousy. This second round of boredom inducing tactics doesn't work either, and Renee grabs a knife. Betty tries to counter her with a candle snuffer, to no avail. And then a curtain goes up in flames. Betty tries to convince Renee that they need to get out of there, but Renee is still fixated on how Betty will never get Daniel. As the flames continue to engulf the apartment, Betty tells Renee that she doesn't want Daniel, and that Daniel loves Renee. This seems to get through to Renee a little. Betty continues on this line, and tells her that what's real -- as opposed to what crazy-ass fat burning pill Renee thinks is reality -- is that Daniel loves her. Renee tears up and says she doesn't know what's wrong with her, but nothing makes sense anymore. Betty throws away the knife and tries to lead Renee out of the apartment, but the flames are everywhere.
