Betty's phone rings and she thinks it's someone answering her budget questions. Sort of: It's Henry. He's poking her. Dude, you are like 5 guys behind right now. She turns her phone off. Good thinking - the ghost in front of you is hotter and more childless than the ghost in Tucson, I'm just saying. Then she ruins it: "Have you ever found out an ex is dating someone new?" Way to ruin the evening, Betty.
Henry, you already got one girlfriend pregnant,
stop with the poking already
So Betty tells him the whole story. Even I would know better and I can't remember the last date I had. Betty's hands are cold and Sports Guy rubs them (sexy!), then she freaks out and decides to leave (she is a moron). But Sports Guy has to tell her - he forgot his wallet. That is a great idea for getting out of paying for drinks when your date talks about her ex ALL DAMN NIGHT LONG!
Well, that's one way to use KY Yours & Mine.
So Betty goes to the local ATM where no doubt people get robbed, checks her balance before taking any money out, and the balance is $102,242.13. Just like mine was before my company caught me embezzling from the charity fund. Betty freaks! Gee, seems sort of interesting the budgets don't add up and Betty's rich beyond her wildest dreams (and you can see how really not-wild they are).
What I would like to do now is make a withdraw
and head to Mexico. So long, suckas!
Oh, Nasonex Bee, will you ever find love?
The flower cannot love!
Betty's back at Banco Suarez showing Hilda and Papi her bank receipt. I probably would have been on the phone to the BANK, particularly in this current economic climate, to see what the hell that was all about. Hilda's begging to keep it for new shoes or to redecorate her salon/crackhouse. Then Betty says, "Well, the bank told me it came from Meade." Oh, okay, she's not as dumb as I anticipated. Or have witnessed. Then - oops! Betty forgot she was supposed to bring money back to the bar for Sports Guy. Worst date ever for this poor guy!
Walter? Henry? Gio? Jesse?
Oh my God, who am I talking to?
Betty calls Sports Guy to apologize and gets his voice mail, so she calls him Henry, then spends the next 60 seconds apologizing and blah-bedy-blah blahing in such and embarrassing fashion I can't even type it. Horrifying. AND HE STILL WON'T CALL ME because he's hot for leecher.
Back at Mode the next day, Amanda sees Betty and tells her a cute-ish boy is here to see her. "Is he the one you're trying to sleep with to get over the other one?" Sorta! Then we hear Sports Guy say, "Uh, I'm right here." Amanda knows, honey, she just doesn't care. Betty is mortified. Because it's true!
Nerds are so cute sometimes.
Betty tells him what happened and he says it's fine, the bar started him a tab. With WHAT? He had no money. Man, I wish I could start tabs like that, I would totally do that with the gas company. Then he apologizes for pushing her to go out with him when she's still hung up on Accounting Guy. She swears she's not, but she's worried that they are both in YETI and that if they went out and it didn't work it might be awwwwkward. Sport Guy counters with, "But it might be great." This guy is really growing on me....
He says maybe they should be together because they have the same passion. Matchbox cars? No - he means the magazine business. He says he'll be at the bar tonight because with his tab, he's a regular now. He hopes she can join him. With so many men to choose from, I hope she can fit you in.
Up in Accounting, Betty is checking on why that money was moved. Accounting Girl says she doesn't know either, but it's got Betty's name written ALL OVER IT. She's the one who authorized it. Hmmm. When did she sign anything recently? WHEN?
Marc asks Betty if she's finished their homework assignment and she tells him what happened. He doesn't know who would have put that money into her account, but you can be damn sure Marc is going to see how he can get his hands on some of that bad accounting ju-ju. I know I would!
You think I'd be used to the visual assault by now,
but those patterns you are wearing are searing my retinas!

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.
