Catching Up With Ugly Betty
I had a bit of a marathon to catch up with “Ugly Betty” after returning from vacation, especially given a new episode airs this week.
I loved seeing Annie Potts guest star as a psychic. She helped lead Amanda to her father, who appears to be Gene Simmons of Kiss? Too funny!
Daniel and Betty’s “real women” fashion show was also great!
Meanwhile Willy moved forward to get pregnant with Bradford’s frozen cocktail, but found out she had a hostile womb and needed a surrogate. Of course this was easy to see where the story was headed . . . . Christina needs money to save her husband’s life, so naturally she was picked to be the surrogate. She doesn’t know it’s a Meade baby though.
The episode with Claire’s trial and Betty and the poisonous perfume was hilarious. Claire gave the perfume to Betty, saying Bradford gave it to her and it was her favorite. Amanda, having found Fey’s secret diary pages, learned she poisoned the perfume. First it would drive Claire mad, then kill her. Betty, using it only for a few days, went completely bonkers.
Betty figured out the perfume was poisoned when she ended up in the emergency room, but still couldn’t prove it as Amanda stole the perfume! In the end though Amanda came forward with the perfume and the diary pages and Claire went free. So I guess I was wrong, and Fey is really dead . . . or is she? Was it me, or was Fey’s voice Katey Sagal (aka Peg Bundy). If it was, and they brought her in as a voice for Fey, I would expect to see Faye alive at some point in the future.
Finally the stage is set for a big showdown between Gio and Henry over Betty! Betty knows that Gio likes her, because Amanda told her, but she was crazed out on the perfume and didn’t believe her at the time.
