I know this recap is short, but all the important stuff's in here. It's unlikely that I'll expand it, because I hated the episode so much.
It's Fashion Week at Mode. Betty leads Justin's class on a tour of the magazine. On seeing the razor-thin models, Justin's female classmates vow not to eat their lunches. Upset, Betty asks Daniel to consider using "normal"-sized women in the magazine. Daniel pitches the idea to Alexis, who turns the idea down. They work out a compromise: they rig a scale to add 20 pounds to everything, then hold a press conference where they weigh all the skinny models to "prove" that they're heavier. Justin and Betty quickly figure out what's happening. Betty confronts Alexis, who tells Betty that it was Daniel's idea. Betty then confronts Daniel, who decides to plan an "alternate" fashion show after the real one, behind Alexis's back. The alt fashion show is a huge success; Alexis takes credit for it. The snottier girls in Justin's class aren't impressed by the "fat" models, but some of the other kids are.
Fido takes Amanda to a psychic to find out who her father is. Amanda seems to give the psychic some of the answers, but she does make one interesting prediction: Amanda will rescue a dog. Not her mother's dog Halston, who she's already rescued, but some other dog - a black dog. Later, Betty gets stuck in an elevator with rap singer Bow Wow (formerly known as 'Lil Bow Wow), and Amanda "rescues" them. Having rescued a black man with a doggie name, Amanda goes back to the psychic for more info. The psychic tells Amanda that a bee will lead her to a kiss, and the kiss will lead her to her father.
In the midst of insulting Betty about something, Amanda notices Betty's big "B" necklace and makes the connection. She tries to get Betty to kiss her. They (sort-of) bond over being motherless. Betty is sympathetic about Amanda's wish to find her father, but refuses to kiss her. But she finds a photo on the floor - it's a picture of Gene Simmons, of KISS!
(I don't think Gene Simmons has done an Ugly Betty taping yet, but maybe it was just delayed because of the writers' strike. Maybe Gene isn't Amanda's dad, but does know who he is. Or maybe the psychic's just wrong!)
Meanwhile, Wil has been getting fertility shots, which make her hungry and emotional. Her doctor extracts the eggs, to be fertilized by the spermsicle that was recovered from Brad's corpse. Wil is upset to hear that she won't be able to carry the baby herself; she'll need to find a surrogate. She needs to find someone who's young, sturdy, easily controlled, and in need of money. She chooses her pedicurist, Brandi. Before the procedure can take place, Marc sees Brandi on the cover of a porno DVD. (Actually, the cover artwork on an adult film often has little to do with the movie; sometimes there are people on the cover who aren't even in the movie.) For some reason, this disqualifies Brandi; Marc suggests using Christina instead. She needs a lot of money quickly, to pay for her husband's medical treatments, because her insurance won't pay.
