The next day, Marc brings in Willie's almonds and seltzer and she's all like oh HELL NO. He says he doesn't want snack time to give her another episode, and she says that if he took a picture of her she will kill him. And eat him. Bet he's pretty stringy, Willie, do you have floss handy?
Willie says that Molly taught Daniel to live life they way she wants until she dies, "And dammit, so do I!" Willie walks over to another tray and has caviar and champagne ready to pound down. Amen. Hope that doesn't show up on the office supply bill!
Feed me, Seymour!
In the elevator, Betty catches up with Claire and tells her nasty Victoria changed the topic. "That old trick," Claire says. Rich women in New York lead sad lives, I think. "And then she told me I was completely wrong for her son."
"Oh," says Claire, "She's really playing by the rich bitch handbook." As if Claire wouldn't have done the same with Daniel. Betty says there must be something she can do to make Victoria like her and Claire is like wake up and smell the cocoa, Betty, that ain't happening. "Grow up," she tells Betty (finally). "Not everyone is going to like you. Suck it up and embrace it." She tells Betty to throw the attitude right back at Victoria.
Back at the dorm, Daniel comes in, opens the window, makes a snowball and throws it at Molly. Daniel, you forgot to put a rock inside of it. He tells her they are going hiking, then tomorrow they are going to the beach. He wants to spend every free moment he has with her - no matter what she wants to do. "Let's go play in the snow." Where is her family?
Stop! I'm telling mom!
Betty is walking down the street asking Matt where he is when she bumps into Matt's mother coming out of the house. "Waiting for Matthew?" she asks. No, for Godot, you idiot. They stand there and Victoria says, "I won't apologize for who I am or what I think, Betty." You're a bitch and an elitist racist! No apology needed! "Well, neither will I," Betty says. You're a schlub and a doormat! No apology needed either!
"What can I say, my judgments are severe. It's just the way I look at the world," Victoria says. Okay, so you won't apologize, but you certainly are justifying, which means you probably feel guilty, which means deep down you know you're wrong so it is sort of an apology. Jump on it, Betty!
"Well I'm sorry for you," Betty says. Wow, she really stood up for herself! She's learning, Gasmii! "But I might be around for awhile." Just ask Walter and Henry and Gio and Jesse! They can vouch for that sooo not being true. They stare each other down and Victoria walks away smiling. You know what would be totally telenovela-tastic? If Victoria bailed out Meade Publications and hung around for awhile!
The last ethnic thing Matt dated is currently hanging around my neck.
Matt shows up and he and Betty walk off into the sunset. "You play the piano?" she asks. "Oh, no," you hear him say.
Next week? Sex and lots of it! Except for Betty and Matt. Is Betty not sexy enough, or is there another woman? Or is the other woman we see him hugging his SISTER? That he joked about having? See you next week Gasmii!

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!
