When the BH returns to ask Betty if Daniel will be at the BLOBBYs, where he will get pelted with red glasses and burritos by the audience, Betty tells her that he's not coming, so the BH asks Wilhelmina to present Betty, so Wilhelmina uses Wilhediva to take her place, despite the fact that Wilhediva had already planned a final show that same evening, which Claire will also attend as Wili stops by her office and puts her silletto on Claire's flyer after it fell on the carpet.

The following day, both Daniel and Betty are talking to each other again and agree to bury the hatchet, with Daniel telling Betty that he has stepped up his game by doing the researching and interviewing the stories on his own with less help.

Unfortunately, the patrons at the club start seeing the spotlight at Wilhelmina and as she tries to flee the club, she's spurred on by Claire and the patrons to perform. Wilhelmina does give in and takes to the stage, and gets a standing ovation. The next day, Wilhediva, this time showing up out of drag, stopped by to thank Wilhelmina for letting him continue with doing the show now that he is now in demand. Wilhelmina then returned the favor by letting him dress in better designs to make Wilhediva more like Wilhelmina.
Amanda, upset that she was never promoted since being a receptionist, asks Daniel to let her take the personnel assistant job, and he does despite their previous history even though she insists on still being buddies. Amanda then welcomes Helen, the temp who replaced her previously, to take her job. However, Wilhelmina is not impressed with Helen and orders Amanda to fire her. Amanda is afraid to go through with it and even Marc is siding with Wilhelmina on this, saying that if she does not fire Helen, Amanda will get pink slipped as well. So Amanda tricks Helen into finding another job (read hiding out of Wilhelmina's view), which turns out to be "The Closet". After more pressuring from Marc, Amanda comes clean with Helen and brings her back down to reality. However, she does bring Helen home to her apartment to become the newest roommate along with Marc.
