Betty, realizing what happened, says, "I don't know where my mushroom went." She should have kept her damn mouth shut! Victoria announces that they will be heading off to the dining room for dinner, but first she wants to show everyone a priceless piece of mushroom that will soon be hanging in the Louvre, because that's how they usually do it - let the 'shroom go on tour in someone's living room before putting it behind security guards, cameras, and electric fences.
Why would he paint such a huge zit on that poor girl?
A spotlight shines on the painting to show us a beautiful young girl gazing at flowers, all with a big, huge zit on her face. No! No! It's actually a fungus! From the appetizer tray! And formerly of Betty's stick! Gasps all around! KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! KEEP IT SHUUUUUUUT!
"What is an appetizer doing on my painting? Victoria spats out icily. I adore Baranski, I really, really do.
"Actually, Mrs. - " Betty begins and Matt cuts her off with an "It was me, mom." She looks from Betty to her baby and does not believe for one second it was him. He says he was fooling around and throwing stuff at one of the guests. He apologizes.
"That's fine," Victoria says in falsetto. "If the artist were alive, he'd probably get a good laugh, but he's dead which is WHY IT IS SO VALUABLE." Look of death. "Into the dining room, everyone." She steps back and says, "So unlike Matthew to do something like that. I guess you bring out his playful side." Tell us again how moms love you, Betty! Look of death. She must have invented it.
Do I smell burro?
Back at Willie's she's still on the bed with her jewels and furs. She tells Marc she thought she'd be alright with selling things, but she's not. "Why, God, why?" she screams. "What have I done to anger you?" Uh...existed? Marc says he hates to see her like this, then takes a picture of her with his phone. Good thinking for future reference and future income when the magazine crashes and burns.
She's going to club something and drag it
back to the cave, I just know it.
Willie tosses everything off and stands there in a bustier and undies. "Mama is downsizing!" she says to Marc. "Not where it counts, baby." Is it me or is she giving off a big Barbarella vibe?
Over at Molly's dorm, Daniel is about to leave to close the deal with the photographer, then he's bringing back steak and wine for dinner so they can celebrate (the photographer? Well, take it where you can get it, I guess). Molly asks Daniel if he's read all the info on the side effects of this experimental treatment he signed her up for. "These side effects are rough," she says. Will it make her grow a scaly tail, because that would be totally cool!
Daniel says they need to think about their future and Molly's like, yeah, I have a 2% chance of making it through this trial. Why not charge up a bunch of credit cards instead? Go buy me Willie's furs and jewels!
Molly tells Daniel she's dying and he says, "NO!" Good one, that should stop it. The bad news? We're ALL dying, Daniel, some just more slowly than others and many times our souls are sucked out first by loved ones, jobs, and taxes. Molly tells him she knows how she wants to live the rest of her life and this clinical trial ain't it. I'm with you on that one. Now sign here on the Visa application.
We return to Casa de Fix-Up where Councilman Daniel-San is telling everyone about a council meeting he went to that was long, boring, and in a very warm room. I think I'm in that meeting at least once a day! He was so bored he fell asleep, began to snore, then turned the snore into a "nay." Just like Congress! They all laugh and Elena says, "Wasn't the funny Hilda?" Man, do they want her out of the house or what?
So funny I forgot to laugh, ha ha HAAAAAA!
Hilda deadpans, "Oh yes that was the funniest thing ever." Councilman gets it: you hate him. He tells Papi the meal was wonderful and Papi says he should come over any time, "Right Hilda?" Poor Hilda, I'm really on her side with this one. "Yes, you should come over whenever you want." Meh!

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!
