Over in the Mode vagina hallway, Claire tells Betty she's heard from Liz Smith that Betty wanted to ask her some questions about Claire. Way to keep things under wraps, Liz. Betty stumbles too long for her excuse to seem plausible...she's doing an assignment for Y.E.T.I. Oh, as if she's even still in the program after Papi's heart attack. She probably dropped that faster than her gut when she takes off that girdle at night.
Claire noticed that Betty brought her dad to work today (for show and tell), and Betty tells her about what happened and how she couldn't talk to her dad about it. Claire says Bradford went through the same thing after his first heart attack and she finally had to slip him an extra sedative so she could get some sleep. She could have just shown him this season of Grey's Anatomy.
Claire offers to talk to Papi much to Betty's relief. She takes Papi for a quick cup of coffee (decaf for Papi, Claire!) and heads off. Hope she doesn't five-finger Papi. You heard me.
The last time we see Papi alive. Also? Someone should tell
Claire that a pen leaked ink all over her jacket.
Marc is holding a huge poster of the next cover of Mode for Willie to approve (and P.S. what a waste of money), when Connor walks in to tell her he is off to sell ads to some people in London which again, is totally NOT what a CFO does. Willie's like, "See-ya, see-ya, wouldn't want to be ya!" and Marc writes "Miss U" on the back of the poster. Willie says, "Of course, I will miss you." Oh, that had to hurt.
COOOONNNNNOOOOR: The Opera!
Connor turns around and Marc turns quickly as though he's looking at the poster. "You have an issue to put to bed," Connor says, confused by the semi-warmth Willie is showing him. She says she's rather be in bed with him, which geez, wait until Marc leaves the room for that load of crap. "Sharing feelings," she says, weirdly. Marc gives the thumbs up until Connor turns and almost sees him. Marc is excused.
"Is there anything I can do for you while I'm away?" She asks. Never, never ask that unless you are willing to drive 20 miles each direction to feed goldfish. Or in this case, take care of Olivia Newton Bird. It's a gray parrot-looking thing that I have no doubt is full of mites and lice and a whole mess of other salmonella-related diseases and fungus. Me no likey the pet birds, they sort of freak me out. (Although I do have to admit I felt bad for whatever foul was demolished by the hawk this morning in my backyard. I will lose this bad feeling when my dogs decide to roll in what's left of the carcass then try to get on the sofa.)
Just drop it in the pot below, Connor.
ONB was a gift to Connor when Grease came out which means that damn thing is like 30 years old. Death is the word, bird. It's got groove, it's got meaning. He lets Willie hold the bird, kisses the bird, kisses Willie, and says, "There they are, my two best birds." Okay, first of all, Willie is not a bird, a bird dates the Beatles. Second, you just passed lice from the bird to Willie. Ick.
Willie looks at the bird and says, "Olivia Newton Bird want a cracker?" and the bird squawks and says, "Pretty Molly, pretty Molly." What a shame that bird is going to fly away while Connor is gone. Good luck in the big city, bird, and watch out for Pale Male, he'll eat you alive!
Back at Casa Suarez, Betty and Hilda are comparing notes on their talks - Hilda's went fine, Betty wussed out. She said she got Claire to talk to Papi instead which she thought was better since it was someone closer to Papi's age. Papi said that Claire told him that Betty and Hilda were worried about him, and he says, "But everything is fine. Better than fine." Did Papi color his hair again? Seriously, the Ugly Betty hairdressers should really get their shit together, the work on his hair is really inconsistent.
Just because it's hair color for men
doesn't mean you can ignore the directions, Papi!
Betty has to run to interview Claire's friends for the tribute video. This ought to be good. First up, Liz Smith, who tells Betty the interview would probably work better if she turned the camera on. Show Liz the Papi and Elena show, Betty!

Thanks for the recap. As always they are WAY better than the actual episode. I was surprised to see Connor and in the episode but as always he's hot and sexy. :)

Excellent recap, better than the show by far. The costumes are too easy as targets but I enjoy your zingers there and elsewhere, they always hit the mark.
