The Meade women were rather full of advice last night, weren't they? Daniel clearly wasn't taking his break with Renee very well, so both Claire and Alexis did their best to talk him into therapy. But of course it was Betty who sealed the deal and made an appointment with Dr. Wallace (the lovely Keri Matchett in a solidly funny guest spot). Inspired by the lady's librarian sexiness, Daniel flirted, and she pounced and then freaked out. So of course, he went on yet another bender and ended up in Queens. And where do you go when you end a drunken night in Queens? Natch, the Suarez household! Oddly — but perfectly — it was Ignacio who took the reins and talked some sense into the eternal playboy by asking him, ''What makes you feel good about yourself?'' I envisioned super-hot models dancing around in Daniel's head. But no, Daniel headed back to Meade Publications and showed that being the editor-in-chief of Mode is what really trips his trigger. Is a workaholic Daniel on deck? I've heard people say that once your professional life is in order, your personal life follows. So if we're following that axiom, maybe Daniel's renewed interest in his career will lead him to someone better than Renee. (Really, was she that good?)

While Daniel was dealing with the fallout from his last relationship, Hilda was working on starting a relationship of her own — her first real post-Santos crush — with Justin's hunky gym teacher, Coach Tony Diaz. Um, hi there, Eddie Cibrian in tight gym shorts! (Seriously, did Eddie know that the camera was going to focus directly on his butt — as he bent over, no less! — about a half dozen times?) I like the potential of this relationship: Hilda hasn't looked happier since she opened the totally unsuccessful Hilda's Beautilities. I wonder, though, what's Coach Diaz's damage? Granted, we didn't learn too much about the guy — other that he's rather amenable and darn cute — but what's lurking? He's too much of a straight (and I'm not talking sexuality) character to naturally exist in the Betty world. What wackiness could be lurking under that gym-teacher facade? He's obviously got some Latino heritage, like the Suarez family, so with the craziness of Betty, it's entirely possible that he's Ignacio's long-lost love child. But...um...gross. Okay, why do I even postulate these things? Moving on!
