Betty comes home to an empty apartment. Did Halston run away? She looks at the scarf Amanda made her get and then opens her computer to write her story. Hope she gets a bigger percentage of the freelance money than Amanda does.
The next day, Daniel reads her article and tells her it's great. "It's exactly the kind of piece we need for the website. People are going to eat it up. It's so much more than just what to do...it had a moral...seems like you guys had a blast." Yes, except for the whole getting robbed thing. Daniel wants Betty to work with Amanda on this as a regular feature on the site. Hmmm. "Have fun, just make sure to stay out of trouble." And stay out of those horrible mismatched outfits.
I'm not just turning, I'm turning Japanese!
You can tell by my mixed patterns!
He puts her story aside and sees the chopsticks on his desk. Their cleaning staff sucks! He throws them away and gets back to work, meaning he starts downloading porn to take his mind off Molly McButter.
If only I had a Tide-to-Go pen instead of chopsticks last night!
Betty heads up to the reception area and asks where Amanda is. The receptionist says she left early and in the background we see Amanda fly by.
When did the show become Whores in Space?
She doesn't want to talk to Betty but Betty grabs her and suddenly something flies off Amanda...could it be...flair? Yes! It's her nametag! And she's wearing a striped shirt! "I'm a freak!" Is that a Friday's uniform? Because their burgers rule!
I hope her manager encourages her to
express herself by wearing even more flair!
"Amanda, did you get a second job?" Betty asks. Turns out she did. Amanda says last night wasn't Betty's fault. Well, mostly it wasn't. Amanda admits it was mostly her own fault. "I would say it was 70-40 - me," Amanda says. Brainiac. "The thing is, you're right. I should care more about what's important to you. Like paying my half of the rent." Betty admits to having had fun and thanks Amanda for it. Amanda heads off to work.
Willie is watching surveillance video of the Mode closet and of Daniel and Molly almost kissing. Which also means she's seen Molly mostly naked. Yikes! Willie is ecstatic. "See how Daniel looks at her? It's the way Betty looks at a cheeseburger." Ha, and cheap shot. Leave those to the recappers, Willie! Looks like she'll be using this as a wedge she'll be hammering between Connor and school marm. "I'm back in the game!" she says.
This is exactly how it started with Paris Hilton!
Amanda comes home all gross from work to find that her wife (aka Betty) has dinner on the table and ready to go. She figured Amanda might be "tired and a little hungry." She got her a gift, too, a Plada wallet to replace the one that was stolen.
I'm as greasy as the burgers I served today!
"Thank you," Amanda says. This is why I forgive the writers for the music montage - they are doing a great job developing not just Amanda, but the other characters as well. Who ever would have guessed Daniel had depth? Pas moi, people, pas moi.
Next week? Betty's ready to start her new life but Hilda's at the hospital - is it Papi or Justin? My money's on Papi. Hope he has some of that insurance we've all been promised!

Good recap.
I agree that Molly didn't look so hot in that red dress. But I don't care for her, anyway. She has neither the raw sex appeal of models, nor the simple, honest, loyal personality that would make her appealing as a potential wife and mother. She DOES seems like a tease - someone who enjoys playing with men's emotions. Conman and Denial could both do better.

I haven't finished reading the recap yet. I wanted to comment on this before I forget...
My mom's theory is that this episode was one of the ones that Lindsay Lohan got written out of, and replaced with Amanda. Because Amanda and Betty rooming together? Is too out there even in the Ugly Betty universe.
When is Ugly Betty gonna get a makeover? I can't stand her outfits. Two years working at a fashion magazine hasn't rubbed off on her at all? No wonder she's still an assistant.

"Bad Ronald" was a movie from the 70s about a teenager guy named Ronald who kills a girl and his mother decides to hide him in a hidden room in their house and tell everyone he ran away. She dies -- another family moves in and he's still living in the hidden room. It's a really creepy movie and I was so surprised to see it referenced here
