The Lyin', The Watch And The Wardrobe

I hate Walter. There, I just had to get that out. Okay, see, Walter asks Betty to move in with him, and she kind of freaks out. She ends up going on a lunch date with Henry From Accounting (who is totally adorable in a completely dorky way, and who's played by Christopher Gorham, late of Popular, who I happen to know from college, so I might be a little bit biased, but I really don't think so) who clearly is totally in to her, but she decides to stick it out with Walter anyway. Which is so disappointing, since she and Henry have way better chemistry, and also, Walter? IS A CHEATER. Betty's also tasked with tracking down a watch of Daniel's, which he left at the house of one of the women he slept with over the past week. He just can't remember who. It turns out to be Amanda, who tearfully admits to Betty in the bathroom that she's basically in love with Daniel and trying to wait out his manwhore phrase. Good luck with that, sweetie. All told, though, it's pretty touching. Poor Amanda. I feel bad for her even if she did spend the entire episode wearing formal shorts. On the other hand, Betty spent the entire time in costume as a butterfly, so things could be worse. Daniel also has his hands full. He visits his mother (well played by Judith Light, whose hair looks bad, but whose face looks great), who's locked up in rehab. She tells him that she thinks Bradford is capable of anything, including murder, and warns him to be careful. As for Bradford, he admits to Daniel that he was a rotten philanderer and a cruddy father, but denies killing anyone. Whether Daniel buys it is an entirely different matter all together, but he seems to end the episode in a very thoughtful mood. And finally, we learn that Wilhelmina has a daughter, and that she and Fey think it might just be time for Ms. Sommers to rise from the dead. That oughta be fun.
