Connor tells her he's chartered a private jet for tonight and he wants her to be on it. Save me a seat, you bastard! He hands her...I don't know, the keys? An eTicket? Also, way to live up to the stereotype of Australians descending from felons, Connor! I mean, I expect this from that Nazi Mel Gibson, but you? Tsk tsk.
Betty flies over to the Amsterdam like a monkey from The Wizard of Oz and tells Daniel everything that is going on. Suddenly Mr. Sniffles isn't dying anymore, he's washing his girl hands and trying to figure out what to do. Tell mom, Daniel, she has experience in murder most foul! Instead, he's not sure who to turn to because the Meades are freakin' morons.
Willie, turns her back on her future...in Hell!
No worries, I'll save you a seat at the recapper's table.
Over at Willie's Marc has come by with all of Willie's things from the office, which basically looks like Marc just hit every store in the city. "Willie, you're so mysterious with the 'Grab all my things, bring them to my apartment.' " Poor, clueless Marc. She asks Marc if he's ever considered giving everything up. "Every time I step on the scale." Focus, Marc, focus.
"Connor's stealing from the company and he's asked me to run away with him," she says. Did she have to include that first part? Couldn't she have just left? Marc laughs until he realizes she's not joking. Marc is totally pissed that she's considering leaving because Mode is her life but also there are other people who have sacrificed for her, for example, uh, oh yeah, MARC! He only thinks about himself. That's why he and I are non-sexual soul mates.
Ha ha! Willie made a funny! Now it's my turn...PULL MY FINGER!
She says, "If you had the chance to have all the money you ever needed and could spend the rest of your life with the person you loved, would you?" Could I bring my dogs? I mean, I probably would have an issue with George Clooney embezzling until I saw him naked while I was online shopping for a monogrammed Maserati, but then I'd think, well, I left the church years ago when they tried to teach us those 10 pesky commandments, so what difference would me going to Hell make now? I might just have better seats! Up close to the stage, where Mick Jagger would be performing!
The Mod Squad gets worse looking and more inept
with each passing decade.
Walking down the hallway Mode hallway are Betty, Daniel in a newsboy cap, and Claire in an unfortunate sweater vest. Claire brings awesome news with her: All the Meade accounts were cleared out that morning. You know, I got a call from my bank within 24 hours of someone using my bankcard number to buy a Wal-Mart gift card in New Orleans....seems like the Meade's Bank of Douchebags might consider similar security for their millions. Maybe they bank at Gringott's and the goblins hate
Muggles?
Later the Meades are in Daniel's office talking to someone in a suit, probably one of the many lawyers who helped Connor get away with this. They seriously have the worst advisors ever. Amanda comes by Betty's desk and asks what's up. Betty tells her it's serious and Amanda's concern is that they are bringing pink back. I wish I had her life sometimes.
Betty looks over and sees that Marc is stressed. He walks into Willie's office and Betty follows. "Is everything...gone?" he asks. Yep. "I had no idea she would do something like this," he says. Willie, say it ain't so! "I thought she loved Mode more than anything." Again, I would have to mention our felon Connor's shoes. Huge. Mezmerizing.
Betty begs him to tell her where Willie is. Marc hand her a card that tells where she'll be meeting Connor. If Betty hurries (as if), Willie and Connor can be stopped. Betty runs out of the room.
If you see Connor, give him my number!
Over at the airport of doom, sexual intrigue, and embezzlement...Willie is walking towards an airplane with a very Casablanca-y look, luggage, and no baby. Good thinking, that kid will just weigh you down. Let Claire raise it, she did such a great job with the other Meade kids.
Viva la Resistance!

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.
