Petra-Gate

After seeing her working relationship with Daniel, her close friendship with Christina, and her chance to date Henry all fall apart, Betty is left with no choice but to turn her back on all three, this after Daniel tries to ask her about Petra, sees Henry and Charlie argue while trying to get a bagel, and rebuffs Christina's attempts to apologize, followed by Hilda climbing into Betty's room after a night out with Santos, which is also noticed the following day by Ignacio after he brought it up.

Hilda and Justin strongly advise her to, recalling a similar situation when Betty's high school friend, Trina DiPaolo, bailed on their "anti-prom" night after she got asked to the prom.

Daniel's aftermath of sleeping with Petra and being blackmailed by Lena forces him to either pay them off or relinquish his EIC job to Alexis.

This after Bradford offered her $10 million to resign from MODE, leave town, and let Daniel once again take the position of editor-in-chief, which Alexis turned down.

Amanda flirts with Tavares, a designer who she believes is gay, after she falls for his exciting fashions, which impresses even Wilhelmina, who turned him away earlier.

"[1] Although Entertainment Weekly's Karen Leigh gave the episode high marks, she notes "Still, I have a major problem with the fact that so many of its characters — Bradford, Walter, even Amanda — are totally cardboard.

We do get the rare bit of compassion or sadness from them (witness Marc's coming out to Mama LuPone), but though I think they're funny, when I compare them with fleshed-out Betty, Henry, Daniel, and even Wilhelmina, I can't help thinking that Betty's often fluffy story lines would benefit if these people had a little more soul.
