"Isn't it obvious? Your assistant is totally in love with you." First stop on our journey, Delusionville. Daniel laughs and looks at Betty who is looking back at him, and his smile fades. You know, the Prince of Nigeria should really contact Daniel, because I'm thinking he could get a boatload of money pretty easily from this dolt. "It's never occurred to you before? The way she follows you around hanging on your every word." She's the assistant to a fashion magazine editor. Seems like it might be kind of busy each month.
"She's my assistant, that's her job." At least he's starting to get it.
"It's so sweet how modest you are." What? "I'm surprised more women don't tear your clothes off."
"It's happened."
"And how many have been your assistants?" Damn! She's got you there, horn-dog. "Is there something you might have said to lead her on?" Yes, like "You're hired"? Dude, you know she has the hots for her knight in shining excel files. She prefers numbers guys, not boob guys. He flashes to earlier that morning when he said he loved her (for helping him) and she said he smelled great.
Betty is on the phone with Christina and they are comparing rides on the Crazy Train. Now things at Chez Willie are strangely quiet, and when Marc comes around he's unusually nice...like now, when he's offering to give her a foot massage. Ick for both of them. Christina calls him a wanker and tries to send him off. Apparently Christina is stuck there until the baby is firmly in place, I'm guessing 3 months? Seems like they are doing a lot to stress Christina out - should have let her go home! She fakes morning sickness to make Marc go away. "If you want me to start snooping, I will, but you need to see what Daniel knows as well!" Betty agrees.
Willie is sipping her drink at a restaurant when Renee flies in the door. "It is just like you to choose this place after everything I went through here." Then you should have suggested another restaurant or stood your sister up. She's not the boss of you! Willie plays dumb then sucks in her breath.
"Oh, my, this was Gregory's favorite place, wasn't it? How utterly tasteless of me." Renee tries to storm out but Willie wants to apologize for how she's acted. Hope the restaurant is a 24/7 kind of place, they're going to need the time. She tells Renee she was trying to protect her since Daniel has "cheated on his girlfriends. A lot." That's putting it mildly.
"But he really seems to have changed for you." Just like the Kennedys when they got married. Renee thinks she's trying to pick a fight but Willie swears she's not, mostly because it's opposite day. "There's no reason for you to be worried or jealous." Except there is and you should be! That Betty is one hot tamale and she's after your stud!
"And what a better place to toast your joyous future and say goodbye to all those awful memories of...Gregory Larson." And on cue a waiter shows up with a birthday cake and candles and says, "Happy Birthday!" Dun-dun-dunnnnn! Wouldn't that be awesome if she smashed her hand into the cake to extinguish the flames? "There must be a mistake," Willie says, "I think you have the wrong table." Like hell he does.
Crap! I just got a manicure. How will I put this out?
"No candles....no candles...." Renee tears out of the restaurant. Pay the man, Willie.
"You are a dear," she says to the waiter, handing him money.
Daniel - sleeping in his office, go figure. Betty walks in as sexy music begins to play. Not Kenny G, you freaks. She says, "I thought it was a little too bright in her for your nap," and she wiggles her hips as she pulls the curtains shut in an awkwardly sexy way. Daniel tells her she doesn't have to do that. "Don't be silly, it will be sooo muuuch better with the lights off." She saunters over and says she's just trying to help him relax. How about turning off that huge light over his head, unless you plan to interrogate him. "I need you at your best this afternoon," she says while fondling his hair. Good luck getting that hair gel out of your nails.
Do fries come with that shake? Yowza!

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.
