"Yes it is!" Betty says. "No," Matt says, "not when you've got billions of dollars lying around." Betty and I are both like what the hell? Did you just say billions? If he turns out to be the son of Bill Gates, that is going to explain a lot, including the ears and all the plaid.
Oh, just billions and billions? Thanks Carl Sagan,
for continuing to make me feel insignificant in the universe!
"Well," he says, "it does go up and down with the markets." Yeah, she's not a dumbass. "Betty, I want you to have this money." Betty's pissed and sort of with good reason. She stands up and tells him she knows he's trying to help but she can't take it. So he says, "No, we throw money like this at charity all the time."
OH MY GOD HE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT.
The collective sucking noise that must have occurred across living rooms throughout the nation must have been staggering when that phrase finished coming out of his mouth. "I'm not your charity," Betty says, more calmly than I would have. Amen, sister. Now you go live in that van with pride. I would.
At Casa Suarez, Betty is telling Hilda they are not taking the money. Hilda says if Betty doesn't marry him, she will. Oh Hilda, does your va-jay-jay ever take a rest?
They both smell something - Papi's molé. And why is this now? Frankie is back to get a cooking lesson from Papi. "I couldn't say this on TV, but he really schooled me with his molé," Frankie says. Turns out the show WAS fixed and Papi's food was better. Frankie felt bad about the situation and came by to offer Papi a job, because if there is one thing a heart attack survivor needs, it's a stressful cooking job that requires him to be on his feet hours and hours and hours each day in a hot kitchen.
Okay, so they don't have money to buy a house,
but they cook with Le Creuset? Assholes.
Hilda is pissed he gave away his recipe but Papi's no fool. He didn't give the recipe away, he sold it. For $10,000 smackers! Schweet! Hope Frankie's restaurant has retroactive health insurance.
Back at Mode Marc is telling Amanda about his horrible play date. Turns out McHottie could only talk about his baby, "It was all Cello-this and Cello-that! CEL-LOOO! Let's talk about me!" He apologizes to Amanda for leaving her with the Wilhel-Mini. Ha! Amanda thanks him because it made her think about her parents. "They've always been there for me. They must really miss me. I kind of miss them too," she says. Aww.
Betty is talking to Daniel telling him how brave it is of him to finance the company with his own money. He says he's never felt like a bigger coward...for letting Molly walk away from him. When she told him she was sick and that she wanted him to stay away, he felt relieved. He said he was scared to see her get worse. "But," he says, "I love her." Betty says he should go find her. Yes, because he has that kind of time on his hands what with the company turnaround and all.
Time for musical montage! We see Amanda calling her mom. Aww. It still would be cool if they tracked down her dad and it was like Trump or something. He could save the company...if Willie and Daniel were on Celebrity Apprentice. We see Willie open her desk drawer to a picture of Connor...if that were my picture, it would have a mustache drawn all over it by now and dart holes in the forehead. We see Daniel tracking Molly down in, well, some cold overlook in New York. He tells her he's not going to let her go through this alone. I wish you would, Daniel! Go find a hot model with money to invest! Tyra's single and she has a huge empire!
Must have been hard to find her...right here in New York!
Betty meets Matt at a bar and apologizes for getting so upset. Are you kidding me? He basically called you a charity case which given your wardrobe, I can completely understand, but he was sort of including your family as his outreach program. Say no to whitey, Betty! Luckily, Matt redeems himself by apologizing for calling her a charity and promising never to try to buy her house again. Deal.

Matt is sort of a super rich slacker version of henry. I actually like matt for betty, he would introduce her to new things that would cause some great situations for tv (betty in the hamptons??)
Just saw the Matt actor in a mcdonalds 'what can I get for a dollar?' ad, it was odd.

Thanks for writing, Carol. Matt is adorable, meaning he must be hiding the freak somewhere (as we found out on the latest episode). I'll keep an eye out for that ad!
