later that evening, betty and gabe (her orthodontist) arrive at the party, surprising even henry. charlie tells betty that gabe is so cute and she can sense the chemistry between them. the four of them head over to the bar and manage to make small talk, followed by a slow song as they pair off and dance. but the evening is interrupted when claire calls betty and tells her that it's an emergency and she needs a corporate credit card fast. as betty arrives at claire’s hotel room and finds her packing her bags, she tells betty that she has to disappear, but betty insists that she call daniel first, prompting claire to throw her cell phone across the room and destroying it. betty tells claire that she doesn’t have the credit card with her. meanwhile, gabe walks in and claire wants to know what she is doing with him when it's henry that she really likes. so betty plays it off by kindly suggesting that it was a long time ago.
