Claire is standing in the doorway and witnesses all of this. So they lost all their money and Daniel lost his girlfriend all in one day? This family has the worst luck sometimes. And Claire has the worst blouse on, how did I miss that it was leopard-print? Yeesh.
Willie's at home not sleeping when William starts to cry. I hear ya, buddy. She goes over to pick him up. Wouldn't it have been awesome if his diaper was full of money that Connor left her? We switch over to Betty sitting in front of her computer, trying to decide if she wants to accept Henry's poke. Confirm? Ignore? She confirms. Oh brother.
Over at the bar where Sports Guy is waiting, we don't see Betty...and he forgot his wallet again! But then, there's Betty! Sports Guy looks up and sees her and does this absolutely freaking adorable thing where he closes his eyes and sets both hands down on the bar like he's relieved she's there and calmly excited if that makes sense, and it is so unbelievably charming I teared up. And if any of you tell anyone that happened, I will kill you dead.
My toes just curled watching this scene!
Next week? Betty gets laid. No, wait, that happens pretty much every week. Next week, Familia Suarez decides to buy their house but need money, so Papi agrees to be on a televised cook-off and ends up stressing so much that he goes down for the count. Hope they didn't sign any waivers or they'll be out of luck for any lawsuits! See you then!

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.
