It is actually a set-up put together by Wilhelmina Slater and Philippe Michel, so as to make it look like Daniel Meade is responsible for authorizing it. When Daniel realizes that he is being sabotaged, he turns to Betty (after turning her away the first time around) to save the campaign, and she comes through with a concept of her own involving mothers and daughters, using photos of Betty's late mother.
