Lots happened last week on Ugly Betty...but the most important thing (in my mind) is that something is going to catch on fire this week. Hope it's not the Suarez Hacienda, but I'm loving the drama. Let the crazy begin!
"It's 2 o'clock in the morning, that gives us 5 hours until your next meeting." Whoa, does Betty work in my department, because that sounds familiar.
"How can you sound so chipper, we've been up until 2am for the last 5 nights?" If you've been up until 2am five nights in a row, you're chipper because you are crazy and running on fumes. Trust me. Betty is all excited because if it's past midnight, Mode pays to send her home in a town car which is "pretty cool" they have free water. I would have thought the safety of not being attacked would have been the cool part. She tells Daniel to stay away from the mini-bar. Thank God he's sober this season.
Betty's getting another call...check caller ID, girl! She clicks over and "BETTY!" Screams Crazy Town Renee. "Daniel isn't home yet and I'm worried." How about trying his phone, psycho stalker? Betty tells her she has him on the other line and Renee demands to be put through to him. Can you do that with a cell phone? Mine is from 2000 - doesn't even have a colored screen, people. Betty wants to go over his schedule with him first, but Renee's all about the crazy now, and she must speak to him RIGHT NOW. Betty conferences Daniel in.
Not the three-way Betty was hoping for!
"Hey baby," says Daniel.
"Hi sexy," says Renee. Oh, yes, this was urgent Renee. "I'm just lying on the bed, all alone."
"You wearing those new panties I got you?"
"Not anymore." Betty freaks and hits the off button. I vomit a little. The only thing holding it down is the fire they promised us (I'm really not a pyro myself, I just love the drama).
Casa Suarez...I never noticed how much it looks like mint chocolate chip ice cream. Papi is watching a telenovela, God bless those shows (I can highly recommend Pasion de Gavilanes, it's on DVD now!) and two women are fighting. "Do women really do this?"
"Yes, except they usually wear bikinis and are covered in mud." Hilda says. She's wrong, it's usually Jello. Justin walks in with a windswept do...not his best look.
Nice Ken Doll Hair, Justin. Lincoln Tunnel or Wind?
"Hello, I'm calling from Hilda's Beautilities with a glamour opportunity...or a glamortunity...hello? Hello?" Worst direct marketer ever. He's made 15 calls and no one is interested. Seems like Hilda might consider starting at a real salon versus the back porch.
Betty comes down stairs talking about 30 sandwiches or something, takes Hilda's coffee, grabs a notebook from under Papi's ass, and keeps saying, "No, you're the best Gio, no you are..." and she finally, mercifully, hangs up. "I barely got any sleep last night, I'm a wreck." How can you tell?
"Daniel's been keeping you late every night this week," Papi says. It's called a job, Papi, did you lose yours or something? Did he lose his job with the partial deportation last season? That would put a crimp in getting to work on time.
"Yes, but I spent half the night dealing with his girlfriend," she whines. "First she calls, then she texts." What a shame Betty's phone doesn't have an OFF button. Hilda, ever the beautician, offers to fix Betty's "hot mess" of hair. Let her, Betty.
Betty is getting groomed like my dogs and Hilda is grilling her about Gio. "What's going on with you two, I heard you on the phone." Yes, ordering 30 sandwiches is sexy.
"Gio and I are friends again, so what."
"Wasn't Henry jealous of you guys?" Hey, if Henry can have his prego baby mama spend the weekend with him without Betty freaking out, I think she can be friends with the deli guy. Henry's getting awfully jealous and possessive for someone who is leaving in a month or so.
"He is, but he doesn't know I'm talking to Gio again." Very healthy relationship, Betty.
"Ohhh, drama...tell Mama Hilda everything."
"Mama?"
"I'm trying it out." Like Betty did with the cat scratching last week? 'Nuff said. "Are you sure hiding things from him is the best thing for your relationship?"

Good recall, Crabby, maybe too good. 11 pages to do one episode of Ugly Betty? You wrote down all the lines in the dialog. Too much information! Your earnestness wins you a hearty thank you, but I found myself skipping through after page 3. Brevity, my friend, brevity!
