Rut-roh, the disaster looks just like the Mode cover. Sensitive, guys! You should also have a Fashion Hurricane cover scheduled for somewhere between June and October. No worries there, either. The cover comes alive in her hands (seriously, what?) and shows the fashion blowing all over. Maybe the model will drop on a witch and Betty will end up with fancy red shoes? That she will inevitably wear with black hose and a patterned dress. She ruins everything good!
Betty runs to the dock and tries to stop the shipment, but like the pods from Body Snatchers they are ready to be on their way. Dock guy is soooo not in the mood for crazy lady and tells her that only Daniel or Wilhelmina have the ability to stop the shipment. He gives her four hours. FOUR HOURS.
Oh, here we go. Hilda's Beautilities is about it get a permit, NOT. Hilda opens the letter and reads, "'Commercial variances are prohibited in residential districts,'" she reads, "Yeah, but where's my permit?" Hilda. How do you dress yourself in the mornings? Papi has to explain that she no-getty the license. She immediately blames the Karate Kid because yeah, it's his fault those laws were passed before he was born. Justin suggests she run her salon anyway but Papi, fresh off almost being deported, suggests that maybe not so much. Hilda "agrees" then gives Justin the secret handshake for "What Papi doesn't know won't kill him." Hilda, Papi knows all.
Let's break the law together, son! Snaps to that!
Daniel is walking through the woods trying to get some BOLD ideas. He stops at a tree and thinks about some girl and one falls out of the tree onto him. Does it work that easily? Excuse me, I have a huge maple in the back yard, maybe I can get Clooney to fall out of it.
No such luck.
Anyhoodle, granola girl who landed on Daniel has sprained her ankle and needs help getting back to the English manor. She's sooo not Daniel's type, I'm sure he'll fall for her in no time. They'll be getting married and having babies next season.
Still less painful than going through Match.com.
Back in the woods, Wilhelmina is attempting to hunt in heels and bright red clothes. Somewhere in Nebraska my father just shuddered. Maybe it's more because it's like 20 degrees there and he's been squatting all day trying to take out a 10-point and his legs are cramping. I'm guessing it's her outfit. She hears something, points her gun, and it's Connor, pointing his gun at her. Don't shoot! He's hot! He says she's welcome to take the first shot. And? He looks adorable in that newsboy cap.
Back at the office, Marc looks up and says, "I smell pluck." I bet that smells a lot like apples. They seem like plucky fruit. Turns out Betty is going to the manor to talk to Daniel because he won't answer his phone (confiscated) and the manor staff has instructions not to bother them. Seems like Betty might be able to convince them that it's an EMERGENCY. What if someone had died, which given how the Meade family works would not be that unusual.
Marc doesn't want Betty to look better than him, so he offers to drive to the manor in Cliff's car. Mayhem! And if there's a road trip, Amanda's packed and ready to go. Cliff drives a very sensible Volvo wagon. Good for him!
Let's see...no brain, no courage, no heart...road trip to Oz!
In the car, Betty and Marc are arguing and about the speed limit and Amanda brings up the wedding again. Marc is in no mood to discuss it and tries to change the subject back to frizzy hair. Given that Betty is in the car that should take up the whole trip.
Wilhelmina and Connor hear something and get ready to shoot, and my question is, when have deer season and tornado season ever coincided? For the uninitiated, that would be never. Plus, the leaves are still green meaning it's summer anyway. Time is just one odd thing inUgly Betty, isn't it.
Wilhelmina raises her gun and it's Daniel...coming back from his own hunt! Looks like he bagged a good one! And tell me, why would they even allow hunting that close to the manor? So dangerous. "It's Daniel with some cripply wood nymph."
"That's my fiance, Molly," Connor says. Wilhelmina is surprised because she's "wonderfully ordinary." Rude! He goes to check on her. Again, way to save money for the company, by bringing a guest! He picks Molly up and carries her off into the sunset. Lucky bitch.
Just so we're clear, you are sleeping with Connor
but looking longingly at Daniel? Bizzitch!
