Claire says she'll be fine and wants to know what the topic is. Apparently people in New York need to come up with topics because why now? They don't have enough interesting stuff to discuss? Betty has no clue (about the topic, among many, many other things) so Claire calls the Hartley house, asks for Consuela, "There's always a Consuela," she says, and finds out the topic is TORTURE! And racism apparently.
The topic on Caufee Tawk is torture. Discuss!
Marc flies into Willie's office saying the engineers are doing a test and all the TVs have to be turned off and her computer too and ohmygod don't read or listen to anything for days and days and days. Willie ain't buying it. Marc got a call from one of his sources that there is a story "going around about her." She turns on the TV and sees that someone blabbed about her selling her goods! She should crucify those bitches! And someone also blabbed about her nuts-and-water snack and at first I thought Marc was selling her out to make his own money, which isn't true but would have been pure genius. Willie is so despondent she leaves. Take some nuts with you for the bus ride home!
TOO MANY CAPTIONS IN MY MIND AT ONCE!
Justin is helping Betty dress in something that looks like she went through a paper shredder on top, and I know since I spent 2 hours last evening shredding old documents, a.k.a. "the evidence." Hilda tells Elena not to set Betty a plate since she'll be leaving, but Elena has other plans for that table setting. I'll give you a hint: Wax on, wax off! Councilman Kid is coming to dinner. He's such a nerd. Now. Still.
My future awaits! See ya soon, Satan!
Over at Willie's apartment, Marc walks in and tells her the auction house people are there for their pickup. Although she's nowhere to be found, she has her fire on full-blast, lights on everywhere...I hope water is needlessly running in the kitchen, way to be eco-friendly there. Marc finds her in her room, wearing and surrounded by her furs and jewels. Poor little rich girl!
Just like me on a Saturday, except I would be
covered in dogs and cheesy popcorn instead.
Back at Casa Blind Date, Hilda is pizzizzled about Karate Kid being over for dinner but he's all happy to have a home-cooked meal. Papi says he must have dinner with mayors and governors and prices all the time. Papi, what world do you live in? This is a guy who suggested Hilda keep her salon by selling candles. "It's more like Chinese take-out, alone in my apartment," Karate says. Wow, he can really sell it, can't he?
Papi, I love the big beer, but you're not really my type!
Papi says he's surprised because "he's a celebrity." Hilda straightens everyone out by saying, "Papi, he's a Queens councilman, he's not Justin Timberlake." Plus, those Chinese food boxes aren't good for you know what because the tabbed lids just never stay shut.
See? You need a box that stays shut.
"Thanks for...keeping my feet on the ground," he says, somewhat ticked. Should have ordered in, Kid. "Hilda would be good for you," Elena says. Because she can dial the Chinese restaurant faster with those fake nails? Hilda is even more pissed and pulls Elena aside to yell at her. Justin gives her a glass of wine and says, "Mom, here's your medication." Tell me he won't be spending a lot of time on the couch thanks to good old mom!
I medicate the same way, sometimes as early as 9am.
But only on workdays.
Over at HOUSE OF H, Betty is enjoying a glass of wine, worried because everyone looks so perfect. Betty and Matt are gushing all over each other when bride of Satan shows up and says to Betty, "I'm so happy you could make it," in that too-tight smile that says, "I really wish you had been the help, you need the shoes."
Betty and Matt each take a mushroom on a stick (my favorite next to ice cream on a stick) and Betty looks around. Matt calls her name to introduce her to someone and she turns around with such force the mushroom goes flying off the stick. Oh, yeah, but when I make kabobs I can't get the damn meat off the stick, thatswhatshesaid.

Hey, Crabby! Nice recap.
I had the same thoughts about the people walking past the dinner party. Maybe they have special 1-way glass. You'd think a billinoaire could afford some nice drapes.
I don't think the woman Matt was hugging will be a romantic interest. Some sort of sister angle. He was so shy making moves on Betty, it is hard to imagine him even talking to a girl that hot unless he was related somehow.
(I know - it's a freakin' TV show!)
I want to slap Daniel for being so all about himself with Molly - who I used to hate, but who is starting to grow on me (like a tumor??).

Great recap as always!
You mentioned Gio (well... pretty much ALL Betty's love interests which are more than I've ever had). So, anyway, you drag me to read your recaps (of course they are funnier than the actual show these days). I swear the Getty-signal worked better on me than the Batty-signal. Betty and Matt are sweet and all... but just that. Honestly... how much this show is missing some hot sexy Italian sausage...
You are right, we had never seen Betty with pants before... I hope we don't see that anymore, ever.
Baranski was great in the episode but could have been better. I just loved Willy ("Mama is downsizing!"), Marc and Ralph "Timberlake" Macchio in the episode .
""So what exactly do the two of you have in common?" she asks Betty. Isn't it clear, they are both huge dorks who dress badly. What more do you need?"
you are crazy... :D thanks for this. You've made my day!
