[...] this episode, seems to have been filmed sometime before episode 3.21, The Born Identity. Marc is babysitting William for Wilhelmina, or so it seems. Amanda soon discovers Marc [...]

I don’t think Cal knew daniel is his son (if that turns out to be true). He’d be too cruel to his own son to be a bunny?

I do think claire and cal slept together though, I thought I saw a somewhat jealousy look on her face when cal made the ultimatum about willie.

All I know is that twice (once in 3.20 and once in 3.21) Cal has called Daniel “Son”.

Yes, it’s a common way for older men to address younger men, especially when teaching or asserting some authority over the Younger.

Being from the south, I use it in a Foghorn Leghorn sort of way.

But, sometimes the writers telegraph where they are going. But, having Daniel not be a Meade completely changes the show (although it would actually make him richer and Matt’s half-brother)

Great episode, just wondering though, how Claire and Matt’s father know each other? What if ( and i just say that for fun but i had this though when i saw them ) they slept together ages ago and he is Daniel’s father? I mean, i know i’m pushing it a little (a lot, really) but that would be good drama and i have learned watching Ugly Betty, that anything could happen on that show…I’m probably miles away from the real explanation on why they know each other but that would be funny.

Haha @ Geek! Good f’n eye, dude. Not many would’ve noticed Sledge on the show, let alone as head of Mode now. I thought it was chickenshit for Daniel to go against family and choose Cal to run with Wilhemina there but then again, it is predictably brilliant to keep both viewers involved and emotional about the story. Fantastic water cooler/beauty salon fodder. One teeny little nuance detail I’d have added? Daniel knowing what he’s doing, raise eyebrows at Betty and Cal think he’s won winking at Wilhemina. Then have the two women stare each other down. That way if Claire backs Betty, Marc could back Willi and be shushed away. All while Amanda looks both ways nervously.

i didn’t like the part about carl + willie making a deal. he won’t make time for daniel, but he could find time for willie? NO ONE fires people in front of investors, com’on. i know it’s drama to keep willie on the show, but this is nonsense.

otherwise, i loved this ep. looking forward to more mr. sledge hammer, and maybe even with claire!

sorry pressed button by accident..
What I was trying to say was Marc wanted to tell Wili what she was doing was wrong, although he held back at the end..
And about Matt’s father getting more involved & taking control, it was what Matt was warning Betty about .. I wonder if Betty was beginning to realize that when they had the situation Matt’s father told Daniel that he wouldn’t sign unless they kept Wili & wasn’t only going to be a”SILENT” partner anymore.. We shall see..
Looking forward to the rest of the episodes!!

I liked this episode and how they covered the main in this episode..from Betty’s family & her co-workers at Mode. This is the first time in a while where they didn’t focus on too much on relationships. No Molly or Matt in this episode. When Christina & Betty said goodbye to each other it was sad. She was losing her best friend & was one of the first people to befriend her when she first started at Mode & no one gave her time of day.
What’s up with Marc??? He seems to be having more of a conscience now..when he wanted to tell hat she was doing was wrong although
he held back at the end.
I think this is the beginning of what we are going to see what Matt’s father is really like…from supposedly being the “SILENT” partner as Daniel mentioned to getting involved & taking control of the company. (like
