Back at Casa PE Sucks, Justin is complaining that Coach Diaz gave him a detention and he had to organize the equipment room. "There were balls and bats everywhere, it was like a nightmare that would never end. This is all your fault," Justin says. Hilda says she was just trying to help him out. "You came to my school and yelled at my teacher, what did you think was going to happen?"

"I can fix this!" Hilda says.

"Please don't, he might make me quarterback of the hockey team or something." That would suck more than you know, Justin. Hilda says she could change her approach and makes a cutting motion with the scissors. Justin freaks, calling it "very Sweeney Todd." Hey, with Hilda cutting hair and Papi cooking, they could really pull it off! Maybe that's why his empanadas are so tasty!

Willie's on the phone leaving a message for Christina, hoping they can "clear up this whole misunderstanding." What's there to clear up? You're an evil bitch and now it's in zygote form. "I'm worried sick about you." Hanging up, Willie says, "Even I didn't believe that."

"Well, you are your toughest critic," Marc replies. Why is his tie around his neck, not his shirt? How did I miss that before? Is he showing chest hair? Naw, he probably waxes.

"What a screw up! Remind me to get that stupid doctor's licensed revoked." Just like my last two dentists? Go Willie. "If she disappears, if that baby disappears, we've got nothing." Why, did you throw the sperm thermos out? No worries, those keep those for years. How do you think they made the other Jurassic Parks?

"On the surface, our plans are rock solid," Marc says. "And we're both so attractive."

"Perhaps that's our curse, Marc," Willie says. The Crab knows the feeling. "That, and our humanity." The Crab has none of that holding her back, thank goodness.

Meanwhile, at the tenements..."I can't believe I trusted her!" Christina yells. No one else can, either. When have Wilhelmina Slater's intentions ever been for good? And have you met her shoplifting daughter? Why would you bring another child into the world for her? And why isn't her husband living at her apartment if for no other reason than to save money and/or split the rent? And why does Christina have on such a hideously ugly outfit on?

Stuart says, "There's no way you could have known." Except for experience.

"This is the worst thing that could have happened." Really? Including nuclear war? Monkey pox? Pandemic avian flu? Talk about baby mama drama.

"Or is it the best thing?" he says. Christina looks confused. "We know she was willing to pay all that money for this." He suggests asking/blackmailing Wilhelmina for more money. Stuart sucks, I say let him die from whatever ailment keeps him looking healthy yet doesn't seem to allow him to work. "She needs that baby. And when people need something, that makes them weak." What happens to people who need people? Christina looks unconvinced.

This episode continues to downward spiral as we cut back to Daniel at the therapist's office making it with the therapist. Even her glasses are crooked. And how can she wear a black bra with that white shirt and not have it show through? Suddenly therapist Wallace becomes victim Wallace and blames Daniel for seducing her. Then she calls her therapist to see when she can get in. Someone needs to have their medical license revoked, unless, as I first suspected, she is actually a stripper. This was ridiculous and I'm sure real therapists all over the world were rolling their eyes so far back into their heads they saw yesterday.

She's hot AND crazy...just like last time. Way to do things differently, Daniel

Back at Salon de Hilda, Coach Diaz is thanking Hilda for offering to cut his hair. Well, the only difference between a bad haircut and a good one is 3 weeks, Coach. He says, "I would have been happy just coming over here and talking about Justin." Coach, don't lie. He says he was sorry for saying she could have used exercise. "You have a great body. Not that I was looking or anything." How can you miss it, it's on display like a Barney's holiday window, just less expensive. Hilda acts like a fool and apologizes.

"I just get a little worked up when it comes to Justin," she says. Trade "Justin" for "Coach" and you've got that right.

With the writers strike, are they trying to cram in too much story to finish up the season? There's so much going on it's hard to keep up (or care) anymore. Bad episode. Lame. Get Charlie and Henry the hell outta there.. get Christina back to work where she belongs.. get Willie & Mark & Amanda back to their old scheming. Thank God that blowhard Gene Simmons is out, too. Sheesus.

The awful music at the beginning was New Kids on the Block, if I remember my horrific boy bands correctly.

blahblah:

Let me first say that I adore you, Crabby! This season hasn't been very good so far, but this episode truly made Ugly Betty jump the shark. On second thought, the show jumped the shark the second we found out Charlie is pregnant. Why was Henry dipping his stick in that when he really loves Betty?

They're complete martydom is what binds Henry and Betty to each other, and is what makes me wanna throw up every time I see them together now. I don't know if the writers can dig this show out of the hole it's in.

Meme is right. The song at the beginning of the show is by New Kids. What's worse than me knowing that? I also know the title, the ironic (and clearly foreshadowing) "I'll be loving you forever..."

blahblah:

Oops, I meant to write "Their complete martydom..."

Jelliepair:

Why all the bitter Crabby? I love a snarky recap as much as the next person but it seems you have no love at all for this show.

Certainly this wasnt the best episode but it is still a fun and mostly original show that is A LOT better than half the crap out there.

I dont love it all but I dont think the show has jumped the shark. Whenever they bring Mark and Amanda together; they make it all worth watching.
