Nick Pepper returns, boasting about his amazing new job and Betty learns that it was due to his having graduated from YETI: the Young Editors Training Initiative. She rushes to apply, but she has only 48 hours to meet the deadline. Her family is skeptical when she tells them she's doing a fashion magazine as the project is supposed to represent "the real you." She explains that she's just being practical because she can use Mode resources to get her project done, including Christina's help in picking a cover outfit.
Marc is also applying for YETI, and he and Amanda laugh when they hear that Betty is doing a fashion magazine. "What's it called, Clashing Patterns Digest?" he jokes.
Betty suggests they might both get in, but he tells her YETI only ever takes one person per magazine. Betty is ready to give up, until her father reminds her of the magazine she and Hilda made when their mother was in the hospital. "You were able to make this whole magazine in one afternoon, because it mattered to you." She's inspired and pulls an all-nighter at the office to put it together. She wants Daniel's opinion on it before she does her presentation and is disappointed that he hasn't written her a letter of recommendation yet. He suggests she write it herself, saying she can write anything she wants. "Make yourself sound great. "
Justin and Randy go to see the play Little Shop of Horrors, but Randy is embarrassed when his friends see him with Justin. Hilda surprises Justin with two tickets to a Broadway musical but he's crushed when Randy tells him he doesn't think they should hang out anymore. In front of his friends, Randy loudly says, "Dude, stop following me around. Get a life!" Hilda tells Justin, "You are going to meet a lot of people in life who don't get you. Screw 'em. All that matters is that you never change who you are." He asks her to go to the musical with him. "Just because Randy's an idiot, doesn't mean we should waste perfectly good tickets," he decides.
