Matt walks in and says the place is really cool and he understands why she was so bummed to leave it. He says they need to hurry if they are going to make the movie but instead Betty has other ideas. She opens the curtain and is standing there in a "sexy" outfit with her hair off to the side, a scarf tied around her neck, and says, "What's your hurry, soldier?" and winks. She looks like a 12 year old trying to act sexy and I actually screamed "EW-EW-EW" so loudly my dogs jumped off the sofa. Betty trying to look sexy? Icky. So, very, icky.
Pedophiles everywhere are cured!
"Wow, you look great, but the movie starts in like 20 minutes," he says. Oh, man, you know Gio would know how to get down to business. "You should probably get dressed." Betty takes her hair down and flips it around like she's a completely different human being. It hits Matt in the face as she suggests that they skip the movie and stay in tonight. She made Mojitos and sucks on the straw so obviously it's shocking other guys didn't just happen to stop by her door.
Matt's not really a "Mojito kind of guy." Is that code for something? She comes up to him and suggests he just get comfortable, and again, this is so icky. He trips back in a chair and Betty lands on top of him. He finds the feather and Betty tickles his face with it. I would be so creeped out by this if I were a guy. Instead, he sneezes. Hottttt! "Let's just go to the movie," he begs. "Or, we could stay here and be together," she says, taking off her glasses. Not the same effect as when Clark Kent does it, I'm sorry to say. She leans in to kiss him.
Matt, why do you keep saying "Stranger Danger!"
Grabbing her shoulders he pushes her off of him and says, "I can't do this." and he walks to the door. Betty asks where he is going and he turns and says, "I'm sorry, it's not you, it's me." Which means it's totally you, Betty. You probably just creeped him out much like you did the rest of America tonight. She looks shocked and hurt and he leaves.
Back over at Casa de Quick Sex, we follow a trail of clothing that leads into Hilda's salon where we find Hilda and Councilman doing it in a salon chair! Oh my God I hope she has Clorox wipes! "That was hot," Hilda says, "I did not expect that to happen." Councilman says he didn't think so either and that he though Hilda was going to break up with him. Rut-roh.
Are those seats vinyl? Get the hose!
Hilda laughs and says, "I totally was!" Whoops. He's confused. "If Felissa hadn't stopped by and interrupted me, it would have gone differently." Councilman is pissed because clearly Hilda wasn't interested until she saw someone else wanted him. That is kind of effed up. But she has big boobs so he should probably cut her some slack on this one.
Hilda does fess up that yes, it took Felissa stopping by to get her all hot and bothered, and for a split second I wondered if Councilman set that up. Councilman wonders if he has to get Felissa to stop by every time he wants Hilda in the mood and I'm wondering if he's suggesting a threesome? She suggests he get a little tattoo on his butt. He says, "I'm going to go," and he takes off. What is most awesome is that he runs out of the Suarez house putting his clothes on, pretty good idea when you are a public figure in the neighborhood. Vote Councilman Archie, he gets it on!
Back at Mode the next day, Willie is pissed that Marc hired Manny without her approval. Marc says he's a model and he's done diaper commercials, what more do you need to know? Then he fesses up that he thought Manny Poppins would help Willie get her groove back. She says her groove is fine and Marc says, "Willie, I keep your appointments, and I haven't scheduled you for one of your weekly...car washes...since before Connor." I bet Connor really knew how to buff her rims.

Dear Crabby -
Excellent recap (of a show that is getting sillier by the week!)
No seriously, the first season of this show, I was in love! And look, I completely understand that this is based on Spanish soap operas, and therefore reality must be suspended during viewing, but come the FUCK on!
So, Matt is super rich and hides that by "forgetting" his wallet a bunch of times therefore making the financially unstable girl pay for their dinners/coffees/whatever. Not very creative writers, I think they should've had him "forget" his wallet because he doesn't actually have one - he's homeless and living on a bench at Penn Station! I don't know - something a little more gripping like that.
And, now he's had a lot of sex with a lot of different women? Um, WHAT? I hate that story line, while they were sitting in the therapist's office I thought he was going to be like, I have an STD or something a little more realistic - not, I'm a man-whore. I love how he's being treated like a "nice guy in recovery from a difficult life of random sex" whereas if this were a woman character, she'd be written off as a nasty slut. Ugh - seriously, Gio left and brought all the creativity of this show with him!
Sorry for the rant, but GRRRRRRRrrrrr!
(I do kind of love the councilman though, something about Karate Kid at age 45 is still pretty adorable!)

Good recap once again, too bad it's for a show that appears to be in steep decline.
I was disgusted by this episode (Betty prances into bed with a sex addict?!). Seriously creepy content. I don't plan to watch anymore, but I may drop by and read your recaps anyway. Yes, they are that good.
I am a Gio fan and like seeing your mentions of him. You seem to have a fond memory for the character (thank you!) unlike the show. Why? Why God? Why was he dumped from the show?
Curious, did pickle = Gio?

Great recap. I'm not ready to abandon ship, but it does seem to have lost something. I'm hoping Rebecca R will return soon. I also miss Gio (please sign the online petition - haha).
Amanda and Mark are still great together (or separately).
One thing this show has in common with a lot of others - they incorporate the real life economic crisis into the storylines. I watch TV to ESCAPE (okay, ignore) my own problems; not to be reminded of them.
The promiscuity aspect - not to mention the STD possibilities - of Matt's past is a real turn-off.
(I'm a man who never understood how anyone could go to a prostitude - even before the onslaught of AIDS - you just don't know WHERE that thang has been!)
When it comes to sex partners, less is usually more. Some things don't change.

Okay, call me naive, but what's a "carwash", metaphorically speaking?
BTW, who wants to know about anyone's pubic hair removal? When did it become pubic knowledge?
Also, I did not recognize Ralph Macchio until I saw his name in the credits and figured it out!

Great recap as always! I can't even stand to watch the lame ass show anymore so I just come here to find out what happened.

Before, I couldn't get past the fact that, while Matt is reasonably cute, he and Betty have no real sexual or romantic chemistry. They were okay though only so-so as friends (do these actors even bother to run lines together to give them some semblance of making a connection?). As a couple they're just bleh. Now I can't get past the fact that they have no chemistry plus he has a serious, not easily treated mental illness and maybe a long history of spreading STD around. And she hearts him? This girl who decided she "just didn't have those feelings" for a sane guy who unabashedly adored her and was so hot his kiss made her moan with desire and dancing with him got her all squirmy. Damn, you're right she should run call Gio!
