His phone rings. Hope it's Conde Nasty asking for Player. "Would you excuse me? It's my fiancé." WHAT THE HELL? You lousy son of a bitch, playing on Willie's (and my!) emotions like that. You can see Willie is crushed. The only thing that would make this work? If he's engaged to Daniel's "sister." Now there's a telenovela for ya!
The exact moment Wilhelmina's heart breaks.
Marc walks out of the apartment of meat cleaver, giving him a phony name. I'm so bummed Marc gave into anonymous sex, that's very disappointing. He really doesn't deserve Cliff. Speaking of...Cliff is at the party. He calls Marc sweetums. Ick. Cliff says all that matters is they love each other. Marc responds by asking Cliff to marry him. Oh, that is never a good move, even when you're in love and want to spend the rest of your lives together. Tsk, tsk, Marc, you made the coward's move!
I've never done it this way with Cliff...interesting!
Betty is out front sitting on garbage, I'm guessing. Daniel comes down the stairs and tells Betty he made a fool of himself in front of Connor, like we haven't heard this song and dance before. Betty wipes her eyes because the garbage smells so much. No wait - she's upset about throwing a party for Jesse. Daniel steps outside of himself for a split second and realizes she's crying.
"I am so stupid to think that he would like me," she says. "Of course he likes Amanda. I walked in on them and they were kissing. I should have known that when he said I was beautiful, he meant on the inside." Well, I hate to bring this up, but this show isn't called Waxed and Polished Betty, it's Ugly Betty. The concept of "on the inside" is sort of built right in.
"You are," Daniel says.
"You don't have to say that," she says. "I'm fine with who I am." Seriously, if you actually read the magazine you worked for, you'd realize there are things called conditioner and tweezers and side-swept bangs. No offense, but look around, be observant, stay ALERT.
"Men go for the obvious," Daniel tells her. "They always do. I should know." Oh, right, he did Amanda too, although if memory serves me correctly she seemed more enamored of his shower massage than she did of him. "It's okay to have a crush and act stupid. But you have to believe me. You are beautiful." Really more on the inside, though.
BEST roomie ever!
Betty walks back into her apartment and Amanda has a bagful of cash, which actually makes her a great roommate. She gives it to Betty so she can use it towards rent. Betty continues to clean up without saying a word. Damn, hire help to do that shit. Amanda says she's totally over that guy she was kissing because "he's sort of stupid," which given her expertise level, Amanda would know. "He is so not worth it. Betty, I am so sorry."
Betty tells her she can stay until she can get on her feet which we all know would never happen because Amanda would be staying over at Jesse's. She tells Betty she's lucky, when someone falls in love with her it will be for real. "I never know if someone loves me because of who I am or because I'm so pretty," Amanda says. Nice backhanded compliment, beyotch. Betty shakes her head and laughs. She makes Amanda clean up.
Betty goes upstairs and it is almost light out. Why didn't she hire help to do this? Oh, right, she's Mexican. It wouldn't have occurred to her. She sees Willie sitting along on a table and turns to leave. "Betty," Wilhelmina says. "Have a seat." Betty walks over and sits next to Wilhelmina who has been drinking a can of beer (Foster's since she can't have the real thing?). She hands the can to Betty who sips and passes it back. Great, now it's going to taste like tamales!
Cheers bitches. Uh, George, I want you back
as long as you continue to fear commitment.
The sit on the table together and look at the city streets, both crushed. Great music playing, though.
Next week, Betty's dressed like Lil' Kim without the panache or class and seems to be fanning herself with the Benzened papers of the magazine. Wilhelmina has a gun, Marc, Amanda and Betty all seem to be grabbing for the same steering wheel, and Suzuki is calling some situation a "disaster" and "it's name is Betty." No, Suzuki, it's name is actually "her outfit."
See you next week for another great episode!

omg, I don't watch this show, but I LOVE the intro you wrote for it. Because I totally went through a phase of dating (and getting dumped by) sensitive-rocker-wannabe-guitar guy!
Sigh.
Anyway, that just really made me laugh out loud. xoxo
