In addition, Betty's idol, YETI editor Jodie Papadakis (Bernadette Peters), lectures her for missing an important social networking gathering the night before in favor of helping her family.
Jodie then gives the students their assignment to gather 40 contacts through social networking (no family members), and warns them that they will be kicked out if they do not complete this.
At the end of the night she encounters Teri O'Shaughnessy (Nikki Blonsky), an assistant at ELLE magazine, and begin talking over drinks.
However, when Betty goes to the bathroom, Teri eyes her phone that was left on the table and manages to scoop enough info for ELLE.
Arriving with the adorned dress at a lavish party in Wilhelmina's apartment, Betty and Marc get invited in and have the opportunity to converse with the fashion elite.
