"Daniel, when you are letting someone down, it helps to be sensitive to their feelings," wait for it...."you weren't always that way with me." Oh, bummer. I thought she was going to toss off another award-winning bitchy comment about Betty. "I always thought she'd end up with that guy Gio. He's so pathetically into her." Man, and I thought I could gossip.
"What was that about Gio and Betty?" Uh-oh. Hot Accountant overheard.
"Nothing, he's just totally in love with her." She twists around to see Henry. "Oops!" Pause. "You could do better."
Hilda is stealing from the Mode closet to get back at Gina. Whatevs. Hilda needs to let it go. But she's grabbing accessories left and right because what better way to get back at trash than to trash yourself up? Hilda shouldn't be jealous of Gina. "Hilda, this is not healthy."
"You're one to talk about jealousy what with Charlie and Henry and Henry and Gio." Good point. Pot/Kettle/Black.
"That is totally different." Only if different is the exact same. How healthy can that love quadrangle be? Luckily, Betty's phone rings so we can get on to more important story lines...it's Christina, and she asks for Betty's help in going through Willie's files. She tells Betty that Wilhelmina was talking about Renee and mentioned the M-word. "Murderrrr!"
Henry purposefully enters Gio's deli (so the window did get fixed!). Gio looks at Henry funny and says, "What can I do for you?"
"You can stay away from Betty." Must be high noon in New York. "I only have four weeks left with her. I don't need to be hearing that you are always around with some...crush." Well maybe he doesn't need to hear you're around with some...expense reports.
"Whoa...crush? I don't know where you are getting that from." Amanda, that's where. And she knows all!
"Just stay away from her. Got it?" He turns to leave and Gio calls him out. My man!
"Oh, I see, you want to fight." Henry turns back around. "All right. Let's get it over with." A fight and an impending fire? This episode rocks! Henry tries to beg off saying that's not what he wanted, and Gio says, "When a guy in my neighborhood says what you just said, that means a fight." That means a fight in Manhattan? As Manhattonites, wouldn't they just have their attorneys take care of things? "I'll even let you have the first swing." Gio makes a sudden move and Henry belts him. Gio crumbles to the floor. That Henry! He's like Superman under Clark Kent clothes and accessories.
Geez, first his window, now his nose. That deli is cursed!
"Son of a bitch!" Hey, don't make fun of Henry's unborn child, Gio. "Man can you hit!" You should see him joust at Ye Olde Renaissance Fair. "I wasn't going to hit you, I was just trying to scare you off. I didn't think you were going to hit me."
"Neither did I." He hands Gio a bottle of chilled papaya juice (?) to put on his nose.
"Are you really mad at me, or is this about something else?" Like your life going down the crapper? Like being torn between two lovers? Like the new actuary getting the better cube?
"I'm stuck." You've got that right. "Trying to be a good boyfriend and I'm not a good dad, trying to be a good dad and I end up hurting Betty. I'm afraid I'm going to lose her." Dude, you are going to lose her because according to you, you are moving to Tucson to be with your baby once it's born. Betty ain't going with you, otherwise there's no show. So unless Charlie plans on staying in New York...oh, crap. Oh holy mother of crap, that better not be the case. Otherwise...murrrderrrr.
Gio says what he doesn't understand is if Henry has four weeks left with Betty, what is he doing at the deli with Gio? Well, a guy's gotta eat, I guess. But otherwise, good point.
"Henry did WHAT to you?" Betty yells into the phone. In the background Christina is going through Willie's armoire. She whispers to Christina, "Henry punched Gio!" and for some reason, Christina is glad. Unfortunately, Betty is too busy to hear the details and will need to call him back.

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.
