Suddenly a car pulls up and Claire, Daniel, and Betty all get out. "Good God," Willie says, "What do you clowns think you are doing?" Getting out of the clown car, Willie, pay attention! They are there to stop her and she calls them idiots because they are "going to ruin everything." Too late. A horde of cops begins to show up in Miami Vice fashion and they wonder who called them. "I did," Willie says. She didn't go to the dark side after all. Phew!
No one panic! The Meades are here to save the day!
Willie's phone rings and it's Connor...he figured she would change her mind, so he "took an earlier flight." This reminds me of the original Thomas Crown Affair when Steve McQueen screwed Faye Dunaway at the end of the movie. Good for you Steve, her beehive hair deserved it!
Did he get hotter now that he's an outlaw? Damn!
Connor can hear the sirens in the back, and he says, "So you chose your career, huh?" No, Connor, she chose the LAW like most LAW ABIDING citizens do. Sorry stealing is in your DNA, you Aussie prick. "I wish you'd chosen differently. I still love you." Oh bite the big one with mustard, Connor. And call me later!
Willie was so upset she tried to blow her head off,
but instead of blood she bleeds sequins. I love fashion minds!
Still at the airport that is clearly devoid of any form of TSA, Betty brings Willie some coffee in a poker coffee cup. Too bad she got the losing hand. "I can't imagine what you must be going through," Betty says. Sure you can, you've lost enough boyfriends. "I don't need your sympathy," Willie spats. So maternal. "He asked me to choose. Him or my career." I don't really think that was the choice. He asked you to choose between living on the lam as a criminal or staying in New York as a tax-paying citizen. If you're Bernie Madoff, those are pretty similar. However, your career had nothing to do with it.
She tells Betty she spent her entire life building her career. "In life, you can't have it all," she tells Betty. Of course not, where would you put it? Betty says she doesn't believe that. "You are young, Betty, but you are a career girl just like me." Well, at least until she gets knocked up. "You'll see," Willie says. Betty sees your challenge and raises you a potential boyfriend.
She heads home to see Elena who has returned from her 5,384 minutes away from Papi. Betty asks her about having to choose between work or a personal life. At the risk of being ignored by a nurse the next time I need a bedpan in the hospital, I'm thinking that a magazine editor and a nurse don't have the same kind of stresses. They both have stress (please bring the bedpan!), but a magazine editor has to live in the public eye, answer to shareholders (a lot), get hundreds of pages of copy, graphics, photos, and ads out each month, and make sure their magazine makes more money than its competitors. Nurses have to deal with crabby people they could easily suffocate with a pillow. She says no, she didn't choose between career and a personal life and that's how she was able to meet Betty's dad. Well, Wilhelmina met Connor at work and look how that turned out. I'm sorry, what was the question again?
Back at the Mode offices, Daniel walks into his office to find Molly sitting there. Wouldn't it have been cool if she had been sitting next to Connor on the plane? Oh my God that would have been an excellent twist of events! I'm going to pretend it happened that way. La-la-la!
I have blood sausage cancer and it's affecting my cheeks!
Instead, Molly's come to the office to harsh my mellow by telling Daniel she has cancer - she had it before and she's sick again and it's worse. Probably from blood sausage! He may have been looking at rings for their future, but she doesn't have one. She's decided to go stay with her family but Daniel won't have it. "You can't drop this in my lap and walk out. It's not fair," he tells her. Yes, but having cancer is totally fair, so great point. Bye Molly! Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out!

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.
