Wilhelmina asks Connor if there is anything to be worried about. Oh please, she'd be on that like mocha on ccino! Connor tells her not to worry her pretty little head (well, that's what it seemed like), but then evil music plays as Connor looks after Betty. Of course, it could have been her outfit making those sounds. Connor leaves Willie's office and makes a phone call, gives a bank account number, password "Sydney" (Oh, yeah, no one would guess that), and he mentions money transfers from Meade Publications. "Looks like I'll have to make my next transfer ahead of shhhhedule," he says. You know, there IS a "C" in that word, try to pronounce it next time. You're not the queen mother!
Pat Sajak? I'd like to buy the letter "C."
So Betty takes her sob story to the other two Musketeers, Marc and Amanda, and Amanda gets them to guess who she slept with last night. It was Edgar Winter, and Marc says, "Mmmm vanilla." Yeah, and that's the kind that's going to leave a nasty aftertaste, blech! Marc thinks Betty is obsessing about accounting because she misses Henry. Or, someone is stealing! He suggests calling tall, dork and handsome (that is NEVER going to get old) to get some numerical help.
Shouldn't you be looking for the Da Vinci Code or beating yourself?
Betty tries to call Sports Guy and gets interrupted by Connor, hangs up on Sports Guy, calls him back, gets interrupted by Connor, hangs up on Sports Guy, and by the time this charaaade ends, Betty has been handed documents she needs to sign for Daniel (say-what-now-huh?) and finally gets Sports Guy to meet her for drinks. Wow, that was an exhausting paragraph to write just to move this story along.
Sports Guy is really growing on me, by the way, but I also liked Molly at first too. I'm so fickle, it's tragic, really.
Over at the Amsterdam, Molly has stopped by to see Daniel which, great security, Amsterdam! What are ya, high or something? Daniel doesn't want to let Molly in but she brought broiled yak soup for him and he's on it like flies on poo. Actually, it's probably chicken noodle. He lets her in and she says she needs to talk. That's never good. Oh Lord, Daniel is hovered over a vaporizer and I wish he would vaporize! What a pansy ass. She's being serious and he's all babyish. She looks over to the bed, freaks out for some reason, and leaves. I thought it was the headboard, bu then Daniel looks over at the bed and sees his computer screen had diamond rings on it. She's never going to believe that's your screen-saver!
No, YOU'RE not dying...but you are half right!
Back in Wilhelmina's office, Connor is asking Willie if she'd be interested in just taking off, just her, him, and that irksome baby. She's like, sure, once I put the magazine to bed, yeah, let's head outta town. But he means for realsies! Luckily, Gaultier is on the phone throwing a hissy fit and Marc says, "Anything could have set her off." I get the same way! Wilhelmina takes the call and Connor is pissed and storms out. His eyebrows have become excessively evil. Hott!
Tornado Gaultier is coming and it's after your little dog, too!
Over martinis...what? Sports Guy drinks martinis? I mean, I guess beer would have been too obvious, but what about a nice scotch? He's an MBA and half a JD for Chris Angel sakes! He's telling Betty that no, the numbers really should add up. Why wouldn't the accountants have caught that? Even Sesame Street teaches us about when one of these things is not like the other, doyee.
I'm giving you a pass on the
martinis because you are so damn adorable.
Then it becomes date night...he says he's glad Betty remembers all the cool things he is and/or almost was, then quizzes her on his favorite movie, which is always first date talk. If memory serves me correctly. Betty thinks...If it is Rudy, I'm erasing this episode right now. Betty guesses The Godfather which is ironic since Betty is sort of the Fredo of the Meade empire, but it's really Wall-E, which...at least it's not porn, right? That is so not hott.

There was so much calamity that my GF and I both thought it must be the season finale... but obviously not. The plot with Conner is really far out, even for this show... but then I remember Madoff et al and think... maybe not so much.
I didn't like Molly, but this episode I found her character quite compelling. I figure they will kill her off, then have Daniel totally forget her within two episodes (which is longer than they did on Bonanza, that great killer of female love interests).

Molly is annoying. I don't wish death on her, but I do wish she'd just go away.
The Connor thing? Really irritated me. Did the writers think that his character just wasn't working out? What a dumb plot. I hope it doesn't last too long.
Sports Guy is freaking ADORABLE. I want to marry him & have his babies. If Betty Fs this up, I'll completely give up hope on her... though I'm still wondering where the F Gio went to.
Ugh. Hilda. Make her leave. She adds nothing to the show.

Excellent once again! Love the humor, the dialog you select, the snarky comments, the photos, in short everything.
Just wish the show was as intelligent as your recaps.
I confess, I'm missing Gio big time. Have Matt and Betty ever had a conversation that gives a hint as to what the attraction between the pair is based on? I know, I know, I watch the show, so why would I expect that? Coz I saw it with Gio dasmmit.
Guessing that the writer who wrote Gio went awol. Apparently they spent the money saved on the costumer from hell. Lucky for you, I guess, if you've got the stomach for it.
