"We don't want to hurt anyone," Marc says. I pause the DVR and think about that one. Hmmm. No, I guess not. Not really, anyway. I wouldn't mind giving Daniel a sucker punch to his upper arm to leave a nice bruise, but nothing really beyond that. Maybe a kick to the shins for Charlie, but I haven't hit a pregnant woman in a long time. They cry too much.
"Your future is at stake too, Marc," she says while he winces. "Renee knows about Bradford's baby and our less than legal method of procuring a donor."
"Well, I switched the pills about a week ago, so Crazy Train should be arriving at Gare du Renee, well, about now." Tres bien, Marc. I guess that makes Willie Soul Train?
"Well, we may need to give her a little push. Schedule a lunch today with my sister at La Brulee. And go back to my apartment and keep an eye on Christina." Oh please, she needs the money, she won't do anything stupid. "And don't pout, you haven't the lips for it." Maybe collagen injections could be his bonus?
Piles of deli sandwiches can only mean one thing - Gio! Betty is telling him how she's trying to play nice with Renee, but well, you know. Bitch is crazy. "Just because you promised to be nice doesn't mean you let Renee walk all over you." Yeah, that's Daniel's job. Betty spots Henry looking around for her.
"Looks like we're all set her Gio, thanks," and she flees the room and the conversation. Gio sees Henry. Henry sees Gio. "Hi!" Betty says.
"Was that Gio?" The perfume? No, not at all. It's Giorgio.
"Oh, yeah, he was dropping off sandwiches." Quickly changing the subject, she says, "You and I should celebrate, let's find a place to have dinner tonight."
"Betty, I have to tell you something," Henry says. If this were a true telenovela, he'd tell her he was in love with Gio. Unfortunately, it's about Charlie. Skank!
"Can I pretend for a second that it's going to be good news?" Don't you always?
"She had a panic attack at the airport, and her doctor is afraid it's going to bring on early labor. He doesn't want her to travel." Just so we're all clear, it was okay for her to fly to NY for the weekend, but now she can't fly back. Also, in that weekend, she was able to score an OB/GYN, which as many of you women know is IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT A SIX MONTH WAIT. Which is why I just head to the vet's office with my dogs for a quick check up each year. Not only does she check my teeth, but I get fleas and ticks removed with the appointment! And a Milkbone when I pay!
"She's staying here?" Nothing gets by Betty. The next thing out of her mouth should be "Then I don't want to hear one more damn thing about Gio!"
"Until the baby's born." Babies always ruin a show! Doesn't anyone remember the Murphy Brown debacle? And the current Vice President will probably steal Charlie's soul...wait. That wouldn't be all bad. "Look, I am going to make this work, I promise." How? How will you make living with your baby mama work with your relationship with Betty while the baby mama lives with you? If only they knew about Mode's super-secret sex room like everyone else at the office.
"I get it, it's fine. Besides, New York City is a great place to be born." And die. "I gotta go." She's probably headed to Gare du Renee to make sure she gets that first class seat on the Crazy Train headed for the brick wall, because there is no way she is going to hold this together. Henry, I never thought I would say this because honestly, j'adore you, but you sir, are a huge douche!
Chanel martini with a Gucci twist - it's Gina Gambarro decked out like only trashy Jersey (or if you live in Jersey, Long Island) housewives can be. "And before you know it, BAM! he asks me to be Mrs. Dr. Goldfarb." Oh, for a second there I thought maybe Emeril made her part of his etouffee.
"That is quite a story," Hilda says while filing Gina's nails. Which is weird, because Gina was tapping already finished nails on her other hand, so does Hilda do one hand first then the next? Well, I guess she does have a lot of time on her hands.

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!

Thanks for recapping, Crabby (with Cancer as my star sign, I love the nickname). Talma is right, though...the recap is quite long.

I hope you keep the recaps, though - just in case I stop watching the show, which nis becoming more and more likely as the show does on. F'ing Charlie. I promise to look the other way if you wanna go back to hitting pregnant women just this once.
