"I saw it with every single guy I knew growing up and their fathers... and some of their mothers." "Well, I do not have a crush on gio." "I only have a crush on henry-- my perfect, handsome boyfriend, who has not called me in 12 hours." "What's that?" "Perfume." "Claire meade gave it to me." "Henry likes the way it smells, so I wear it to remind me of him." "You know what?"

"and marc." "Ah, you remember my antonio--my baby?" "he's a sophomore at cornell." "He's studying mechanical engineering." "They grow up so fast, eh, ignacio?" "Too fast." "Oh, my, my, my." "Uh, I-I think betty and i need to speak privately." "Ay, dios míO." "She's pregnant." "Here we go again." "Just like your sister." "Dad!" "Oh, no, no, no." "That's not it." "Betty, is there something that you need to talk to me about?" "Well, what do you mean?" "Well, your symptoms indicate high levels of toxins in your body." "Drugs?" "What?" "No." "Wait." "No." "That's impossible." "Well, you said you haven't been yourself lately." "You're jittery, anxious, overly emotional?" "You did break in to my deli." " Shut up." " What?" "Your pupils are dilated." "Your glands are swollen." "Your heart rate is above normal." "Dr. Squassi, this is me." "I don't do drugs." "I'm afraid of espresso." "well, if you're not taking drugs, someone is drugging you." "betty, I'm on my way." "No, henry, you don't have to come home early." "I'm fine." "Just hearing your voice is enough." "I love you, too." "soon as the blood work comes back, we'll know what's going on." "Oh, my god, would you listen to this?" "I could so be on an episode of "grey's anatomy" right now." " I miss addison so much." " I know." "Why'd she have to go do that "private practice" thing?" "I don't know." "Okay, well, we have the, uh, report in." "You have high levels of methyldexetrin in your system, and lower levels of linbin and fitzadent-- and--and this is very strange-- uh, traces of bufo alvarius." "Bufo what?" "It's toad venom." "oh, snap, betty." "Your levels are almost normal now, and you won't have any more effects, but you're a very lucky young lady that we found this out in time." " Too much of it in your system- - what?" "Well, it--it could lead to hallucinations and paranoia." "Enough of it, it could be fatal." "think, betty." "Is there anything you've done, anything you've eaten differently in the last few days?" "No." "No.I-I-haven'T." "I--just-- just the food at home, and I did have one of gio's sandwiches." "My sandwiches are all natural." "Wait." "Doctor, is it possible to get drugged by something that got on my skin?" "Why?" "excuse me!" "Oh, god." "Where'd it go?" "Oh, god." "Betty, betty, betty, where did you put it?" "oh, god." "Sparkly." "amanda." "You took my perfume." " No, I didn'T." " Yes, you did." " Did not." " Did, too." "Okay, fine." "I took it." "But so what?" "It wasn't even yours." "Amanda, that perfume is evidence." "It could prove that mrs." "Meade was insane, and it wasn't yours, so just give it back." "Um, actually, it was my mother's, who gave it to bradford, who gave it to claire." "I read it in her diary." "Wait." "What?" "You mean, fey was trying to poison claire?" "But claire went nuts, and she killed my mother first." "Oh, my god, we have to get the perfume to court and say that." "No way." "Claire took my mother's life, and now I'm taking hers." "Amanda, she wasn't herself." "This bores me." "Well, forget about me." "Think about daniel." "You care about him, don't you?" "Amanda." "His mother is going to jail for something that she would have never done." "You really want to be responsible for daniel losing his mother for the rest of his life?" "Amanda, look, I know you're hurting 'cause your mom is gone." "Trust me, I know what that feels like." "But if I could keep one person from feeling that, I would." "Amanda, just give me the perfume." " are you out of your mind?" " No." "Daniel, this stuff is poison." "It seeped into my bloodstream and it made me do all these cry things." "Oh, my god." "Like your poor hair." "No." "That's mine." "And I also have my blood test to prove it." "Do you think that's possible?" "I-I-I was acting so erratic." "I just assumed it was the stress and the drinking." "No, it wasn't, mrs." "Meade." "It wasn't you." "It was this stuff-- this perfume." "What do you think?" "Is that really her hair?" "yes." "Well, oh." "Well, it's worth a shot." "Here, let me see the blood test." "Your honor, the defense would like to call betty suarez to the stand." "And I only did those things because I had been spraying myself with this perfume for the last two days." "Mrs. Meade used it for six months." "Makes sense to me." "Thank you, ms." "Suarez." "No further questions." "Prosecution, your witness." "Ms. Suarez... why would bradfordeade give his wife poison perfume?" "Um, well, no." "I-I don't think that mr." "Meade knew that it was poison." "Uh, fey sommers wrote in her diary that she gave it to bradford so that he would give it to claire." "Ah, and where's this mysterious diary now?" "Um, I-I don't know." "I don't" " I don't have it." "Oh, and maybe you're just being a good assistant to mr." "Meade, and maybe this perfume isn't poison at all." "No." "No, I'm not a good assistant." "I mean--I mean, it-- this is poison." "I know because dr." "Squassi, my family doctor, said so." "Ah, well, you might wanna get yourself a new family doctor, because in just the last few minutes, the prosecution has had this perfume tested." "I don't think you want to do that." "call 9-1-1." "I told you not to do that!" "oh, that's refreshing!" "because guess what?" "This so-called "poison perfume" is actually just water!" "settle down." "Straight from the tap." "That's impossible." "It has a scent." "my boyfriend said he loved it." "Smells like water to me." "Thank you, ms." "Suarez." "I don't understand." "This--this is the perfume." "Like I'd give her the perfume." "Claire meade, you will never see the light of day." "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." "I-I really don't know what happened." "I-I swear, this perfume was real." "It's okay, betty." "It didn't hurt us." "He's right." "Thank you, betty." "I know how hard you tried." "I'm sorry." "It's time I stood up there and gave my side of the story." "Mandy, I can't deal with anymore wickedness today." "I-I got to go." "I spend more time here now than when I worked here." "Marc, come on." "What is wrong with you?" "We'll just go to the west side, and we'll throw it in the river, and after, we can cruise the bars." "Why do I have to go with you?" "Because you're a part of this, remember?" "You burned those diary pages." "Ok, I do a lot of morally questionable things for wilhelmina, but none of it is technically criminal, and it's all in service of my career." "Oh, and suddenly, you don't work for me?" "Actually, I never did." "No, when you first got to "mode"?" "You were the receptionist." "Yeah, and after that?" "You were still the receptionist." "I was never a tiny bit higher than you?" "Not for one minute." "Marc, just do it, okay?" "Get rid of it." "Claire meade has to pay." " Why?" " What?" "Why does claire meade have to pay?" "She didn't do anything wrong, except for use some perfume that her husband gave her." "I can't do it, mandy." "I'm sorry." "And you wanna know something else?" "I couldn't burn these, either."

"Meet me in the hallway,cheese fingers" "Do you know who this employee was?" "Yes, I do." "And her name?" "Fey sommers." "What made you change your mind?" "Nothing they do to claire meade is gonna bring my mother back." "Thank you, amanda." "You did the right thing." "Feels good, doesn't it?" "Eh, it'll pass." "I don't know what I would call my state of mind." "you were crazy." "Here's the proof." "madam foreman, have you reached a verdict?" "We have, your honor." "We find, in the case of the state vs. Claire meade... not guilty by reason of temporary insanity." "okay, I am outta here." "Thank god." "odor in the court." "Claire meade has been cleared of all charges." "She is a free woman." "A scent with a criminal sensibility made her do it." "Claire, you may be innocent, but I sentence you to the chair-- the beautician's chair." "Go get your roots done, sweetie." "Yore a free woman." "I'd like to propose a toast to my friends and my family, who helped to save me, and to the future of "mode."" "to "mode."" "Daniel and alexis, we are here together, and we will always be together."

"Well, I don't know what to say." "you're welcome." "That... wasn't a whole boss-assistant thing 'cause of the sexual harassment-- oh." "It was friend-to-friend, though." "So everyone's calling you a hero." "Oh, look, gio, I" " I wanna pay you back for that window I broke." "No, forget it." "Just buy a couple of extra sandwiches, and we'll call it even." "Oh, and, uh... about that note that I left you..." "Yeah." "The one where you called me, uh, "an annoying jerk"..." " "Obnoxious"..." " all right." "And "arrogant"?" "Okay, I was strung out on that perfume." "It wasn't me." "I wasn't in my right mind, but nobody ever has to see this again." "Okay." "Okay." "Okay." "Okay." "Okay." "Okay."
