Ugly Betty: Fierce!
Another quicker recap of the latest episode of “Ugly Betty,” mostly focusing on my thoughts on this episode and less on recapping.
So right before she was going back to Arizona, the baby mama Charlie suddenly had various issues and is now sticking around New York to have her baby. From the previews for next week she goes into labor, so perhaps this isn’t a faked pregnancy. If not, I think she’s somehow faked the DNA test. I’m sure the baby will come out and be Hispanic, Asian or African-American . . . something that will let Henry know he’s definitely not the father. If not, then maybe the baby’s blood type will be off and someone will catch that.
Henry learned that Gio and Betty had remained friends and still saw one other, because Amanda opened her big mouth about how Gio was in love with Betty. Henry confronted Gio and they got into a tiff. I think Henry doesn’t get to play the jealous or the Gio card really because of what is going on with Charlie. He and Betty keep saying they only have four weeks left together as is. It’s time for Henry to accept he’s going to lose Betty whether he likes it or not and he doesn’t get to be jealous or upset about it. He’s the one who knocked up Charlie, so we are led to believe.
Willy continued with her plan to drive Renee nuts and have her committed. Now Renee knows the truth about the Bradford scheme, so obviously that’s a reason to get her out of the way. However before she knew, Willy seemed to want her gone and I still don’t know why. Something more has to be going on that we don’t know about.
Without her pills, Renee started to become jealous and set her sites on Betty, convinced she was in love with Daniel and out to take her from him. Hilariously Daniel started to wonder about Betty and thought she was in love with him too! He even had a naughty dream about her. Oh no, are they going to have Daniel suddenly fall for Betty?
Nina Garcia and Christian Siriano made their cameos in this episode as they met with Daniel and Alexis. Christian didn’t think there was enough drama at Mode for him, until Renee burst in calling his models Daniel’s new whores! Christian loved it. I have to say I thought his appearance was campy and hilarious, just like him. I loved Nina Garcia saying winning “Project Runway” had completely gone to his head.
Christina was still trying to find out what was going on with Renee, having heard Willy refer to her as a murderer. She and Betty broke into Willy’s files and learned that Renee apparently had an affair with a professor at Stoneybrook, become jealous of his assistant and tried to kill her by arson . . . but killed the professor instead! So that it seems is the big secret behind her, candles and Stoneybrook. What I didn’t get was why it seemed like Christina hadn’t heard about the plan with Bradford’s sperm? I guess she didn’t hear about it after all, because that’s a bigger thing to reveal really in my opinion.
The show ended with Betty rushing to warn Daniel about Renee, only to be caught by Renee in Daniel’s apartment with a million candles. It seems she was out to repeat history. Fortunately Betty knocked her out and stopped a fire from starting and Willy had her committed. Renee told Daniel she was sorry, she thought she was getting better. Daniel also asked Betty about her “feelings” for him. She teased him, saying she loved him but wasn’t in love with him. She left to be with Henry, who she had worked things out with after the Gio stuff. Daniel however looked a little sad to me. I think he’s falling for Betty!
