Cutting-Edge Fashion

Betty and Daniel stare at a photo of Heinrich's (awesome) dress, but apparently it' not speaking to Betty. Amanda runs in (wearing some kind of unbuttoned marching band outfit that I kind of enjoy) and insists that Betty get her into Heinrich's show, because he is her favorite designer. When Betty points out that yesterday, Amanda had never even heard of Heinrich, Amanda tells Matt that Betty has been hitting the tequila again ("It's like mother's milk to her"). Apparently, Heinrich is all people are talking about. "So that means he's good. Obvi." Betty runs to Daniel to try to get out of the Heinrich show, and the news that Heinrich has been moved to the closing position just makes her more insistent on not doing it. She suggests that Daniel find a Clothes Whisperer, but Daniel reiterates his confidence in Betty.

Betty complains to Matt about how she doesn't understand clothes you can't wear and how she thinks she's wasted three years of her life in a business she doesn't understand. Matt suggests that maybe Betty should take a break and come see his job for a change. Betty ladles on the sarcasm: "Great. Maybe I could find a career in sports. I mean, I was thinking a magazine that actually meant something, you know, like the New York Review, but Hey! I could have a future in fashion. Or sports!" Wow. What a bitch. And Matt has finally had enough, so he chews her out. He accurately calls her out for being really self-interested and judging him entirely on being "sports guy" (which is, to be fair, how he introduced himself). Finally, he says that she's just as shallow as fashion, and stalks off.

Betty chases Matt to the elevators and grovels in apology, carefully not using Fashion Week as an excuse. He forgives her and takes her to his job. Specifically...

...to a locker room. Implied nudity all over the place!

Justin, Elena, Ignacio, and Hilda are having a movie night. Justin: "I can't believe you haven't seen Step Up 2: The Streets yet. It's only the best classical vs. urban dance movie." Elena and Ignacio make out on the couch while Hilda clears her throat and is a huge jerk. Finally Hilda stomps off and Justin is sad and there's a whole shouting scene where Hilda says that she will not have them making out right in front of her. Justin tells Ignacio that he likes Elena and that Hilda and Elena used to be friends. Ignacio muses that maybe if Hilda spent some time with Elena, she'd remember that.

Back 2 the Locker Room. Wait. That's not right. Damn you, Step Up 2: The Streets! Um, anyway, Betty is trying to avert her eyes from all directions at once, and Matt is sort of interviewing some athletes. Matt tells her that sports is not his dream job. He always thought pro athletes were overpaid babies (at which one guy who looks really familiar looks over and says "Hey, I heard that!"). But then Matt got to know the guys. That guy over there came back from a car accident. Jimmy here just likes the money. But Sasha plays to support his Serbian brothers and sisters (his actual siblings, I mean) and didn't speak a word of English when he got to America. Then Matt pretends he's taking Betty to the showers. And the steam room.
