Betty catches up with Connor and they get on the elevator together. Hope there's a security camera! She tells him about the money and he tells her he knew about the transfer and knows she authorized it because he saw her name. He says, "I grew up poor Betty, I get it. Your father's sick." Betty's like hey, Crocodile Dundee, I didn't take the money and Connor says, suck on it Rosie Perez, everyone investigating is going to think you did. Oh, Connor, how low you have sunk?
Stop stalking me, garden gnome!
"Did you put the money in there?" she asks. Slower than a snail on NyQuil. He stops the elevator (with a button, not his charm). He moves in really close to Betty and tells her he's not going to hurt her. He tells her to keep the money but to shut the hell up about the financials. "You've been stealing from the company?" she asks. Connor, never tell your plan until everyone is dead! Haven't you ever seen Scooby Doo or a James Bond movie? Keep it shut until you get out of the country and leave the carnage behind you!
I'm going to my safe place now!
Turns out he linked Betty to Daniel in this whole thing and they will both go to jail. Would they share a cell? Because that sounds like absolute hilarity! Hope Claire kills someone for super-real this time, then it could be like Three's Company Alcatraz-style. And why is Connor doing this? He won't say. But he does threaten Betty's family which, if he knew Hilda, he wouldn't. She could totally kick his ass. Betty totally gives him the stink eye. That'll learn him!
Willie, when I worked at the bowling alley and kids called
to ask if I had 10 pound balls, well, I honestly did!
Back upstairs, Connor is in Willie's office and he's standing like a bull that hasn't been fixed. Unless you have a Thigh-Master between your legs, Connor, close them. He wants to talk to talk to Willie seriously. She asks if he needs a spanking and he admits to stealing from the company, so yes, he should be spanked at the least. At first, she thinks he's joking, but then he says it's not. "I'm taking the money, leaving the country, and I want you and the baby to come with me," he says. If I don't bring a baby, can I go with you instead?
Are you effing kidding me? I will screw the Meades MY WAY!
Willie takes some steps back because somewhere she has a conscience (in her left little toe?) and she's horrified. "What am I supposed to say?" she says. "Yesterday you were going to take me on a trip and today you are a thief." Just like United! Connor probably has a 60% on-time arrival time as well.
"Let me explain," he says, which, really? How is an explanation going to make this situation better? "Being nice to the Daniel Meade's of the world has served me well. But I've had to hide how I really feel. I hate the selfish son-of-a-bitch!" Well, so does everyone else, but we don't steal off of him. He's too stupid to steal from, I mean the man throws away loose change! Just follow him for a week or two and you'll probably collect the same amount of money he has in his bank account.
Then the truth comes out. He hates Daniel because "of what he took from me." Yep, still hung up on Molly. Yak. Now Willie's pissed. "I don't love her, I hate him! I wanted to take from the selfish brat!" Needless to say, Willie's pissed because half of the Meade fortune is hers, which I had to think about until I remembered there was a deal when Tranny Meade left the series for the shares to be split for not being charged with attempted murder against Christina. Whatever happened to Stuart? Te amo, telenovela. Muchos besos!
Connor says, "Your baby owns half of Meade!" which...it's Willie's until that kid turns 18, right? This is what happens when your CFO goes on ad sales calls...he loses his mind. Connor says, "I've found a way to take all of their money, and I want to give it to you." If she turns you down, I swear to GOD I'm next in line. It's like the lottery plus, what with Connor attached, yum!

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.
