I’ve been bad on commenting on “Ugly Betty” the past few weeks. Unfortunately it’s one of the only shows I watch that begins at 8pm, and I’m usually not yet done with all my work by then. So I turn it on, but only somewhat watch. I made an attempt to pay lots of attention last night as the show was built around the Broadway show “Wicked,” which I have seen and loved.

BEtty and Henry, who are dating in secret, made plans to go see “Wicked” finally. Betty tried to fool Danielle into getting tickets for her and Gio, who was back in this episode. However Gio pulled one over on Betty and decided he was going with her! Henry went with a young girl (his niece?). Danielle meanwhile showed up with Marlo Thomas, who was playing an important client/investor he’s trying to woo in the wake of the whole Alexis scandal that broke and is costing the magazine advertising money.

I absolutely loved the scenes of them all at Wicked, and loved they featured my favorite song from the show “Popular.” Unfortunately Henry and Betty got exposed when they climbed into Glinda’s bubble, which was lowered on stage with them. Daniel made Betty see dating Henry was stupid as she’d only get her heart broken. She then called it off, but after a talk with Hilda, decided it was back on. Oy! I’m still waiting to find out that the baby isn’t his. This is a soap after all, although it’s in prime time, but DNA is never accurate in soaps the first time around!

Willamina continued to plan her wedding, but people keep dropping out, including her bridesmaids. She decided to put in a call to Posh Spice! The previews for next week show someone getting shot at the wedding. Why do I get the feeling Claire, trying to take out Willy, will hit Bradford?

Finally Hilda got caught working at a restaurant called “Headlights,” which features waitresses wearing skimpy outfits and shirts that light up . . . . you get the picture I’m sure. Hilda had to admit she was fired from the salon for her big mouth. Justin and Ignacio pulled some money to buy her her own hair drying chair so she could start her own salon on the porch. By porch I hope they mean the front or back living room/rec room and not the actual porch outside. My grandma used to call the back extension onto her house the porch, so I’m really hoping they are using the same slang. I love Hilda, and there has always been that “trashy” element to her, but having a hair salon on your literal front porch? Please Justin don’t let her do it!
