Plot

Renee becomes increasingly jealous and controlling after her lack of proper medication begins to take effect, and convinces Daniel that Betty is in love with him; meanwhile, Betty and Christina discover her dangerous past. Henry tells Betty that Charlie will be staying in New York until the baby's born after she has a panic attack at the airport, while Betty grows ever closer to Gio. Gina Gambarro returns to Queens with a new life, and Mode tries to woo a designer who is only shooting for one fashion magazine.

Production

Christian Siriano designed most of the outfits featured in the episode. He is the second designer to share a guest star/wardrobe credit in the series, the first being Vera Wang in "A Nice Day for a Posh Wedding". Amanda's outfit, designed by Siriano, was available for auction on the website for The Clothes Off Our Back Foundation, which auctions off clothes donated by celebrities to help children's charities and agencies.[1]

Reception

Entertainment Weekly praised Siriano's appearance and his dialogue with Alexis.[2]
