Wili makes it her personal mission to protect a loved one, and Hilda reaches out to Marc to figure out how to help Justin.

Episode Description

Betty finds that everything is changing as she begins her new job as associate features editor, especially since her boss is her ex-boyfriend, Matt Hartley, who is still unhappy about their breakup. In addition, Betty's new officemate, Megan (Smith Cho), openly resents her, while Marc is constantly undermining her because he felt he was more deserving of the promotion. Meanwhile, without Betty as his assistant, Daniel is adrift, still mourning the loss of his wife, Molly. Betty tries to help Megan out on an assignment and connects with a thoughtful insect jewelry designer, Olivia (Lynn Redgrave), while Justin starts high school and is victimized by bullies-but won't tell his mom, Hilda. Claire Meade is finding that her power struggle at the company has her sitting pretty - for the moment -- opposite Wilhemina, who lost her claim to the Meade throne last season. But Wili has perhaps an even bigger problem than job security - she is harboring a secret at home that is driving Marc to distraction.

Mode's getting a new editor! Her name's Amber, she's in her 20s, she's Asian, and is a master at the backhanded compliment. Casting is under way. Also, I'm hearing (and already laughing) about a possible Mob subplot involving Hilda.

"Casey orders Chuck to tell his sister Sarah surprised him with plane tickets to Europe and that they'll stay there at least six weeks. In reality, they are going to a training facility so that Chuck learns to be a real super spy. Three months later, six Russian spies, including scary Yuri, meet up with a man with a black hood. The hooded man? Cool and confident super spy Charles Carmichael! He's there, alone, because the Russians have something that belongs to his boss. Agent Carmichael uses his special kung fu skills to get hold of the situation. Chuck may have become a great agent but there is still one thing that he can't do: shoot a bad guy. The ending doesn't go as Chuck or General Beckman would have liked. Luckily for Chuck, this was a test and not a real mission. Emmett and Morgan also appear." - SpoilerFix
