"Oh look, it's sad Betty," Marc says, as they sit with her on the bench. She actually looked more like uni-bomber Betty with that grimace. Amanda says they need to talk to her about something that affects all of them, like "global warning." Thank God she's pretty. Marc says, "It's Kimmie, and the Inconvenient Truth is that she's evil." Wow, two public service announcements in one show, and they didn't even have to use that star-thingy from NBC. "She has to go."

"What do you mean, go?" Betty asks because she's a moron.

"We need to kill her," Amanda says, reading my mind.

"Get her fired," Marc corrects. School marm! "And we need your help. She's working with you on this shoot thing." Betty has to think about it. "She did weasel her way into your shoot." Betty has to think about it. And think some more. She says it's not taking the high road but at this point, shouldn't Kimmie be road kill no matter how high the road gets? Raise your hands with me, people - whoa, not so fast, you'll change the tides.

Why don't we just go Clockwork Orange on her ass?
I'm already dressed for it!

Betty refuses. NO FUN. Better make an extra appointment with your gyno this year, because you are going to get screwed but good.

Back at Mode Wilhelmina is showing everyone a replica of some replica of a hideous strawberry necklace Marie Antoinette wore before she had no neck. She wonders if it would be a fitting piece for the Adriana shoot? Would it make sense to do something with a strawberry when you are promoting tico berries? Try to stick with one theme, please.

Is neck composting sizzling hot, because that's what this looks like.

And speaking of tico berries, guess who's arrived? Adriana! With Kimmie! Oh crap. She says Kimmie has been telling her all of HER ideas for the photo shoot, which she thinks is "genius." Kimmie also replaced Marc's boyfriend Cliff on the shoot for Phillipe Loire who they saw at a club last night. Kimmie tells Betty that she saw on the schedule given out that Adrianna was coming in that night, so she met her at the airport and they hung out all night together. Not that way, people.

"And you told her my ideas were your ideas?" Betty asks.

"Maybe you should have done more than just send a fruit basket to her room," Kimmie responds. Well, she does have a point, but I hate that she does! Betty tries to introduce herself to Adriana but Kimmie interrupts that they have to go to a spa. As they leave, Kimmie says, "Don't worry about her, she's just someone's assistant."

Marc and Amanda come up behind Betty. "Screw the high road," Betty says, "I'm in. Let's kill Kimmie." See, if this were a real telenovela, Kimmie would be on her way to being dead like for real. And, since this is Ugly Betty, all Betty would get is community service. In France. With Alexis.

And while we're at it, let's kill the costume designer.

By the way, does anyone really get these VW commercials about women having babies to get VW cars? I'm not really sure of the connection between pregnancy and German engineering. Germans and comedy do not mix. Ever.

Guess who's coming to finance? Connor is in the Mode offices with Daniela and Wilhelmina saying that he knows Daniel from Harvard (oh, my ASS Daniel went to Harvard) but unlike Daniel he didn't grow up filthy rich, no, he grew up on the penal colony now known as Australia. YAY continent of totally fun people and crooks! He blah, blahs some more until he tells them he never takes a job just for the money. He and I are very different people.

MY GOD HIS FEET ARE HUGE.

He tells them they need a new business plan and hands him one. I bet the first paragraph involves not letting assistants project manage one of the biggest cover of their magazine's life without, you know, SUPERVISION of some sort. I bet the plan recommends keeping to one cover photo shoot a month and he suggests getting rid of the tranny option on the health insurance. I know I was pissed when ours was cut, but that's what flex spending accounts are for. Daniel won't even shake hands with this felon. I love Connor times two!

fire@will:

Another great recap. Another great episode.

Don't feel bad - I was also surprised by the reveal at the end - and I'm also excellent at catching that sort of thing. (In fact, I find myself reading your recap and wondering if I didn't really write under some split personality. Ever wonder why you and I never appear in the same place at the same time? Me neither! See!)

carmelicious:

DearCrabby -

Awesome recap!

You catch all the great details and I love you for it.

But I just have to ask you something: Did you not freak out when you saw Ralph Machhio (Daniel Larruso, Danielson, Karate Kid, etc..) as the Councilman - and he looked so good!!! I seriously let out a little yelp! I had some serious Karate Kid flashbacks, it was like falling in love with Daniel Larruso all over again..aaaaaaaahhh

(really stupid side note: I used to have a friend that was Kirk Cameron crazy, and I was totally Ralph Maccio crazy and our friendship actually ended when I told her that Danielson could kick Mike Seaver's ass any day with or with out Mr. Miagi!)

dearcrabby:

OH MY GOD, Carmelicious, I didn't even catch that! Holy wax-on/wax-off! I heard on the radio the other day that he just turned 47 which made me feel soooo old (but not as old as he is, phew). I guess when it comes to Hilda I just try to endure the scenes - clearly I need to pay more attention to her unemployment and boneheaded ways. Thanks for catching!

dearcrabby:

fire@will...I have too many personalities to keep up with! There would probably be a rip in the time-space continuum if we ever showed up at the same place and time...and it would look like Betty's blouses!

Beatrice B:

Thanks for the recap. This is great and entertaining as always (not the episode, mind you... I meant your recap)
