Ugly Betty Episode 207 Recap: “A Nice Day for a Posh Wedding”

At first she’s stunned. Then she starts giving a few timid “la la las.” And finally she launches into a full-out version of Kelis’ “Milkshake Song,” complete with fly girl gestures. Only it looks more like she’s doing a sleazy version of “I’m a Little Tea Pot.”

Outside, Bradford accuses Daniel of trying to poison his relationship with Wili. Daniel insists she doesn’t really love him, and wonders if the gallons of sweat pouring off of Bradford’s chrome dome are a sign he knows he’s right. Bradford pushes him aside and goes back into the church.

You know what it turns out sweating is a sign of? A major heart attack! Who knew?

For weeks, spoiler sites have been hinting at a biggie death on Betty. I pretty much suspected Bradford but secretly worried it might be Halston. So imagine my relief when Bradford keels over right on the altar. As Wili starts pounding his chest, Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” plays. Wow, there’s a song we’ve heard used to dramatic effect on a TV show only about two or three thousand times. Didn’t they play the same thing when the guy who plays Bradford kicked it on The O.C.?

We cut to Times Square, where Betty and a group of tourists are watching a big screen TV showing live coverage of Wili thumping away on Bradford’s chest. Guess you could say they came to Times Square to see the baldie drop.

Justin Fabulousness Meter (scale of 1 to 11): 2. Justin did not have much of anything to do at all this week, much less be fabulous. How could they not figure out a way for him to sneak into the wedding? Actually, he really should have been invited. There’s no way Wili wouldn’t have wanted the Fashion Elf to come to her wedding, and didn’t she need a flower girl anyway?
