Betty's new life and job in London are wonderful and she is enjoying both immensely. Daniel's arrival in London and their going out on a few dates confirms to her that they are best off as friends. Daniel initially takes Betty's decision to stay friends poorly; in fact, he makes several negative comments about her past boyfriends, especially Matt.
Daniel says, "What, I'm not good enough for you but your last boyfriend sabotaged you at work and then, after you get back together, goes and abandons you to go to Africa-he's just concerned with himself!"
Betty replies, "Daniel, that is not fair. Yes, he was mean to me at work after I hurt him. We managed to get over that. And, for your information, other than when I broke his heart, he was very supportive of me. I actually had a pregnancy scare after the Bahamas and he really stepped up and was more logical than I was. He helped me start my blog, which led to this great career opportunity. And, in terms of going to Africa, I encouraged him to go because that was what was right for him and it would have been selfish to keep him in NY."
Daniel, surprised, says, "You thought you were pregnant and he didn't freak out? And, what do you mean that you encouraged him to go? Your encouraging him to go, to me, says you don't care for him enough."
Betty, sighing but responding with a tone in her voice, retorts, "Daniel, when you are in love with someone you do what is right for them even if it is not what is best for you."
Daniel answers, "Betty, you just said "in love with someone," are you still in love with Matt?"
Betty replies, "Yes, I did say in love and, while things will certainly have changed with our time apart, I do have strong feelings for Matt-I've just been reluctant to acknowledge them because it will hurt a lot if they are not returned."
Daniel, "Well, I guess you need to figure out where you two stand and I won't interfere. I guess some things are not meant to be."
Betty responds, "We will always have an amazing, unique friendship, but I don't think it will ever become more than that, I am so sorry."
Daniel answers, "No need to apologize, and I have to admit that the few kisses we had just felt weird."
They both laugh, share a platonic hug, and he goes back to NY to find something, and someone, for him.
A month or so after Daniel leaves, Betty continues to pour herself into her job, because that is easier than admitting that there is someone she is missing. She finds herself staring at the calendar and, despite her best attempts to almost ignore his very existence because it hurts too much to think about him, Betty finds her mind, and heart, focusing on Matt.
Betty decides to send Matt a telegram to see if there are still feelings on his end for her. His response to Betty's telegram is almost more than she could have asked for.
Matt responds in person, coming to her office, and tells her, after catching his breath upon seeing her, "My feelings for you have only grown stronger with our time apart. I can imagine nothing better than spending the rest of my life with you, trying to make each other happy and fulfilled."
Betty is overjoyed and passionately kisses Matt, not caring who is watching or gawking at the typically reserved Ms. Suarez. They decide, at Betty's suggestion, that they could use some time alone, away from everyone, to catch up and discuss their future.
Betty and Matt walk, hand and hand, out of her office.
Betty tells her assistant "Since it is already 4pm I am going to call it a day."
Her assistant, Kelly, responds, "Call it a day, or do you mean start your evening? Aren't you going to properly introduce us?"
Betty blushes and introduces Matt to her assistant and the two other staff who were in the office when he arrived.
Joe, one of the writers, pulls Matt aside and says, "We didn't hear much about you until the last week or so… then she started to be in her own world and we asked her what was going on… She mentioned your name, said she decided to contact you and hoped that her heart won't be broken again. You obviously seem happy to see her, just please don't leave her again… she doesn't deserve it and I don't know if she can take it."
Matt responds, "I have no intention of being away from Betty for that long ever again…I am glad that she has co-workers who seem to be concerned for her well being."
Betty, who was taking care of a few last minute details for the current month's publication, grabs Matt's arm and says to Joe "You can stop questioning him now… I am off the clock and can take care of myself, but thanks for the support anyway."
