Oh my God are you kidding me? We open Ugly Betty with Betty scrubbing some guy's head and that is NOT a euphemism. She's working in Hilda's shop where apparently Hilda has schedule 50 appointments for 7am. I only guess at the time because both Betty and Justin are still at home and since they go to work and high school respectively, seems like it would have to be that early for both of them to be home. So two questions: Why is Hilda's Beautilities open that early and what the hell is she thinking scheduling that many appointments at once? Well, at least she's working. Am I ever happy?
Way to wash that man right outta HIS hair!
Betty's client says he likes it rough, but only on the weekends. Have you met Hilda? Betty smacks this guy, Sammy, on the head. Justin offers to stay home from school to help out, and he begins a manicure. Oh, I'm sensing health code violations everywhere if you have an unlicensed manicurist on staff!
Hilda says she's not booking all these appointments to save money for Justin's private school that he won't be able to get into because he's too stupid from skipping public school. She does have a point, however I think Justin was denied entrance to said fancy school because of his lack of talent, not lack of finances.
Papi walks in and gives everyone a sweet snack and coffee on the house, because nothing says sanitary like eating and drinking at a salon. He turns to shampoo Sammy and asks if he's heard about Betty's big promotion. She tells him she got promoted to associate features editor (WE GET IT ALREADY), but "I'll be back to assistant in no time," she says.
Betty says she's the only one without something going into this month's magazine and I have to say, you've been in that job like what, two minutes. Calm down. Also, she says that Matt is killing all of her pitches, which I would probably just take to HR. Betty has a huge case against this guy - total and complete harassment. Plus, his ears are huge and that is a distraction.
"Matt is a spoiled bitch," Hilda says. Everyone yells at her but she hit the nail on the head with this one.
Sammy tells them he's working in fashion. Turns out he's working on someone on a condo for a designer named Evan York. Justin asks if it's the same designer who works at Dolce & Gabanna and he says, "He must be because I heard him on the phone and he's leaving the Dolce and going to the Gucci." To which Betty comes flying back into the room.
"What?" Betty asks. Sammy says it's supposed to be a secret. Good thing you said it out loud at a hair salon in Queens. Those bitches will take it to the grave. Right after they tell everyone they meet on the way home and on Howard Stern.
Betty's all like if you could get me the first interview of the creative director at Gucci, I'd actually be able to keep this shit-can job. Sammy says he can hook her up with the interview. Hilda says that Sammy was supposed to hook her up with a new salon chair but it is nowhere to be found. I think what he said was he wanted to hook up with you in a salon chair, Hilda.
Over at Mode Amanda says, "Claire and Hartley killed the Cotton Club shoot and now baby Hartley called an emergency meeting." Oh, baby Hartley. Betty runs between them and they say, "Heyyy," except Marc's is, "Haaaaate you!" He said he's totally pissed that some mon-chi-chi is waddling into a meeting he should be in.
"You are oozing self pity today," says Amanda. "Something's up OHMYGOD happy birthday!" Marc shushes her and says no one is to know it's his birthday.
Betty goes into the meeting room and they do that whole musical chairs thing. Why don't you bring your own chair, mon-chi-chi? "Matt, is there another chair?" LOOK AROUND then see my previous sentence, dumbass. Matt tells her he had another chair brought in - the bean bag chair. Of course, Betty sits in it and flies backwards. Maybe Matt just wanted a little look of the good stuff?
For Show & Tell, I brought my hootie!
