The episode was co-written by Marco Pennette, Veronica Becker and Sarah Kucserka and directed by Tricia Brock.
Meanwhile, Marc's mother — to whom he has never disclosed his homosexuality — visits the office; bringing her cat, Lady Buttons of Camelot.
When Daniel begins to claim what duties he will handle, Alexis interrupts and insists that she does not want anything to do with the business.
Marc's mother, Jean, stops at the desk to see Amanda and insults her for her alleged drug and sex addictions.
When he leaves, she calls in her new assistant, Nick, and orders him to cancel his plans for tonight because they have to complete their work by midnight, informing him Daniel is crazy if he thinks she is going to share anything with him.
Scheming in her office, Wilhelmina scratches out her own last name on her stationery and writes Meade in its place, then asks Bradford out on a dinner date.
After Daniel leaves, Marc walks in and informs Betty that she need not worry about the letter since Alexis has already sent the issue to print.
She is thrilled to hear this and starts criticizing all the Suarez family until Justin runs by, excited to watch a Golden Girls marathon.
Marc becomes furious and sternly informs his mother that these people have done a really nice thing for him and that she is practically calling her own son "swishy" by insulting Justin.
Jean tells her son that she does not want to know him for the lifestyle he has chosen, and sarcastically thanks the Suarezes for a "lovely" evening while leaving the house.
Daniel later runs into Betty at a bar and tells her that if Alexis wants the company, then she can have it and he will be only too glad to return to his old lifestyle of partying and unemployment.
Marc tells her fondly that she will always be his "Little Chimichanga" and then leaves to go home while Betty sits alone to read the letter that Daniel wrote, in which he talks about how happy he is to have Alexis back with him and that his family is finally coming together.
