Ugly Betty

YAY! Justin's BAAAAAAACKKKK!!!!
The first 15 minutes of this weeks episode was are awesome- tons of really funny one liners and cute scenes.

First, Justin is totally back to his awesome happy self- going so far as to ask Hilda if its true that at the salon where she works Beyonce and Fergie got into a fight- and Hilda says she doesn't like to draw attention to herself- after taking of her coat to reveal an orange low cut tank top with 'Freshly Squeezed' on it.

This is a must see episode and I am so happy about it!

And it keeps getting better- I am writing this at every commercial break- Ok, turns out Hilda got fired from the salon and works at a Hooters like place called 'HighBeams', but is lying to everyone so they won't be mad that she isn't following her dream of being a hairdresser. Justin finds this all out because a classmate plays him a video on a cellphone that his dad took, showing Hilda laughing at the bar.

Betty and Henry make plans to see Wicked, and Betty gets tickets from Daniel- but tells him she's going with Gio the sandwich guy who is her boyfriend, because Daniel said if she was dating Henry he would fire him! Daniel ends up giving the tickets directly to Gio, so Betty gets Amanda to get her a 2nd set and she shows up at the theater with Henry, while Gio shows up with his little sister.
Unfortunately, Betty and Henry can't catch a break because DANIEL shows up too- with guest star Milo Thomas playing a cougar-ish possible advertiser that Daniel is trying to get to advertise in Mode so he can save the magazine. Betty has to sit next to Gio because Daniel's seats are next to the tickets he gave to Gio!!!

They really filmed at Wicked, and show snippets of the actual show, including part of the song 'Popular'- and since Henry and Betty can't sit together, they text each other and sneeze and cough across the theater to say hello- until Gio puts his arm around Betty to act like her bf in front of Daniel, and Henry gets jealous.
Henry tells Betty in the lobby that she keeps saying how hard it will be for her when he leaves in 5 months, but she never takes into account that he has to leave her, and his heart will be broken too. Kind of a weak argument, wouldn't work in real life, but it's Henry sooo....

Um, no Kenny in this episode yet- odd, I liked him.

Mark keeps avoiding introducing Cliff to anyone, and Cliff finally has enough and breaks up with him in front of Amanda, while Whilhemina spends most of the episode eating sandwiches and meat to try to gain 6 pounds so her wedding dress will fit.

Each commercial break brings something even better- Mark makes up with Cliff and invites him to Whilhemina's wedding, more Wicked music- Betty and Henry go outside of the theater to talk and Daniel and the ad lady come out, so Betty and Henry run backstage by accident- but I'll get back to that- Daniel tells her he can't seduce her just to get her ads, and goes on the explain why she should advertise with Mode, and she says the funniest thing- "I'll have my ad rep call you in the morning. You know, you have a nice tush honey, but smart guys are a turn-off!" Then she slaps his butt as she walks out of the coat room! Back to Betty and Henry- hiding backstage, they suddenly get lifted up onto the stage as they are kissing and the entire show stops- and Henry says "Smile Betty- we're on Broadway!"

I LOVE IT!!!!!

Ten minutes left- hope it ends with a bang!

It does get better- Daniel confronts Betty behind the theater about how stupid she is being, and Betty tells Henry she just can't do it anymore, but when she gets home, she tells Hilda- who says the best thing- she tells Betty she only has 5 months, what is she still doing here, when there is a man out there who loves her? She tells Betty if she could have one minute with Santos she would, even if it would hurt after.
So Betty goes to Henry's apartment (with the Wicked music playing in the background) and they kiss and she goes in.

Meanwhile, Justin tells Hilda he and Grandpa need to talk to her in the kitchen- and she is mad Justin told about the job thing, but it turns out they bought her a hairdryer chair and are going to help her have her salon in the house!

Awesome episode- everyone should watch it, even if you don't always watch this show!!!!
