Back in the limo, Betty can't stop picking at the scab. "Daniel, you did ask me to lie about where you were last night." Oh, shut up. All good assistants cover for their bosses. Unfortunately, Daniel continues to be elusive. Rightfully so, Betty has something growing from her right breast and I think it's a sea anemone.
She needs a recommendation to a dermatological mammographer!
Over at the Suarez brothel a.k.a. Betty's apartment, Coach and Hilda are once again shirking their responsibilities as tax-paying citizens of the U.S. and instead of working are canoodling over wine and a Jesus candle. A Jesus candle is watching you break commandment number...well, one of the first 10, that I know. You know, freedom of speech, freedom to carry concealed weapons, something about the press, and adultery. I don't remember what order they come in!
What would Jesus do? Probably judge you both pretty harshly.
He says he needs a shower because the NYC public school system doesn't have running water. What? If that were the case, there would be no bathroom service and they wouldn't be having classes, ergo (oh I said it) you wouldn't be smelly from the gym class you didn't have. Do I have to think of everything? She tells him he can take a shower at Betty's because isn't it awesome to have to clean someone else's hair at the bottom of the drain?
Hilda goes to get ice cream while Tony lathers up in Betty's middle-of-the room shower. This has hilarious mishap written all over it! Tony is in the shower and hears the door open. He decides to surprise Hilda by jumping out of the shower but instead surprises Papi who suddenly sees why Hilda has been so happy lately. Hilda arrives behind Papi. Oops! Papi stopped by to put more locks on Betty's door. Not Schlage, QuikSet. Nice product placement, advertisers.
AWWWKWAAARD!
Tony reaches over for his pants and oops-a-daisy, out falls his wedding ring. Ew, ew, ew! Papi sees it and is totally pissed. "You're married?" He asks. "It's not what you think," Hilda says. I think Papi thinks you are a tramp and your boyfriend is a total lying, immoral sack of mierda, so it sort of is what he thinks. Hilda really needs a hobby. She should try working, that can be quite a time-filler. Papi storms out.
Betty is talking to Christina about Daniel, saying he just wouldn't do something like this. "It's my fault he's in this situation." She actually is the best assistant ever, blaming herself for Daniel getting arrested! Betty is hoping there is something Christina forgot about or some piece of the puzzle missing that Christina could tell the police that could help Daniel...hmmmmm...what could it be?
Hey, where's your loser husband? "There's something I never got 'round to telling you about Stuart," Christina says to Betty. "I saw him, on the day of the party. We fought." Rut-roh.
"Oh my God, Christina, everyone is so fixated on who hates Wilhelmina, no one is thinking about who hates you," Betty says. Ha! Awesome. "That came out wrong," she adds. Don't lose the funny, Betty! Only problem? Christina hasn't told them about Stuart. Because it's better to hide a drug user than an illegal immigrant? Is he illegal, or did he stop by with a visa? I'm just wondering with the deportation threat and all.
"Do you think Stuart could have done this to me?" Christina whines. Well, I'm torn. I don't like Stuart and I want him to go away, yet it will be more exciting if it was a Meade who did this. Or even Wilhelmina herself, for the publicity. How big are her Manolos? If they match her balls, those may have been her feet in those hideous bling-y shoes. Betty convinces her to tell the police. I think.
Leaving Christina's room we are forced yet again to see Betty's fetish with ankle socks. Wardrobe crew, please, for the love of Christ, knock that off. Especially when you pair it with neutral colored Mary Janes. So freakin' ugly! Even Betty would know better, and she's UGLY. It's in the title!

Great recap - and certainly one of the best Betty episodes yet. The paternity reveal at the end caught me totally off guard.

Yay, Gio's back! I actually liked Gio better when he was mean to Betty intially then when he liked her and was after her. They have better "hate" chemistry!

I totally died and yelled "NO!!!?" out loud at the end. I assumed that they would make Daniel not be the father eventually but ALEX!! I died. I am just...this show is the best.
