Grey's Anatomy - Crash Into Me: Part 1 - Ep. 409



I'm thankful they let Claire out of jail (and Judith Light gets to return) to attend Bradford's funeral. A funeral Wilhelmina crashes (with the whispers of the shocked by none other than trusting evil gay assistant Marc and Marc and Marc and Marc...). Luckily, Claire's got a pretty good leg to trip Wilhelmina and push her into the grave.
Seeking revenge, Wilhelmina returns to mode and unlocks operation Medussa-X, a computer virus that deletes all the files from Mode computers, losing the entire issue of Mode. Oh Snap! EVIL! Terrific!
Betty, still at home with the Suarez's decorating the tree, returns to Mode for one night only to help Daniel and Alexis save the magazine. Only to have Wilhelmina and Marc unveil the launch of "Slater" Magazine as they poach most of the Mode staff (enticing them with free cosmetic surgery which Amanda urges Betty to take!).
Marc and Amanda, the best comic evil bitchy duo are GASP, split, as Marc leaves with "Slater" while Amanda stays at Mode, her mother's magazine. OH NO!

Amanda, with little inspiration, unwilling to partake with perspiration, comes in with a last minute idea for her article but Sheila sees little of Fay's legacy within a saddened Amanda in another nice emotional deepening (at least while we have her and Marc separated) of her character.
Plus, it's nice they have Christina there to comfort her, since as always, they don't use Christina well enough.
Daniel and Betty (again, with such an awesome dynamic together) are met with a conundrum when Cameron refuses to come out for the shoot unless she got drugs or alcohol and Daniel is tempted to give it to her. Alexis is met with a new guy at the printers who sees through her ploy. Both live under the shadow of Bradford but it's a TV show so they get over it after a talk from non-typical heroes (Betty and Harvey, a little person working at the printers).
Daniel doesn't betray moral boundaries and loses the movie star cover, but instead, comes up with a better more fitting cover (a blacked out tribute to Bradford Meade) for Mode with Betty's inspiration. Christina urges Amanda to seek her father out, and Alexis, in a grounded talk with Harvey, manages to convince the printers to hold off a few more hours that would save Mode from death on the same day they bury Bradford.
Meanwhile, Wilhelmina asks Daddy (Ron Canada, is there an ABC show he hasn't guested on now?) for help, but he's disappointed at the vapid person she's become and refuses her the money. (Um, is this where we might get another Bring It On! alum, since Gabrielle Union as Wilhelmina's sister may be possible if the WGA strike ends).

















Bailey no longer wants people to call her the Nazi. That was always funny but actually kinda bothered me but I thought I was just supersensitive. Odd since I'm kinda unpolitically correct in many other things.
