Ugly Betty Episode 210 Recap: “Bananas for Betty”

The music in question that Hilda and Gio went dancing to is called "reggaeton" which is a fusion of reggae and spanish music. I hope this writer's strike is over soon so we can get that musical episode and more of Justin.

Oh, I thought this episode wasn't bad; not the best, but it was great fun seeing Betty White again. (Now, what I would REALLY like to see is the original TV Land skit "Ugly Betty White" that lead to White's appearance as a guest star. But I can't seem to find it anywhere on-line---anyone have any luck in locating a viewable clip?)

The paintball fight was very silly but kind of fun (though, is there anyone that Amanda won't sleep with?)  I particularly enjoyed that dramatic moment when the last shot was fired, as the siblings embraced---classic.

I think it's important to get Wili and Marc back to Mode as soon as possible; I am really missing Marc's interaction with the others who work there, particularly Amanda; they're a lot of fun to watch together. As for how Wili could possibly be re-hired, though... well, all I can think of is that she'll become pregnant, and use that as a sort of threat to get her old job back. ("You do what I say, or I'll be really mean to your half-sibling!" Though, given that both Daniel and Alexis had a terrible relationship with their father, and he seemed to despise both of them, would they really care all that much about another of his offspring? I hope they would be decent enough to do so, but let's face it, any kid brought up by Wili is going to be totally screwed up for life no matter what.)

I recently bought the first season of Ugly Betty, and though I had meant to view the episodes in a leisurely fashion, I burned right through them; just couldn't help myself, I'm enjoying this series so much. So, now I'm totally up to speed on Betty and Henry's past, and I have to say---what the heck are they doing? I guess I don't get this "let's be lovers even though we know it is going to end very soon and there is no future for us" mentality. Henry knows there is no future at all with his cheating ex-girlfriend, since he a) can't trust her, and b) is in love with someone else. But it is very understandable that he wants to be a part of his new child's life. That being the case, he should either move out west to be near the child right off and make a start on his new life, OR he could convince his ex to move to New York (help her find a job or partially support her) so the kid is growing up right where he is living now. I don't know what the writers have planned for this couple, but I'm not too entranced by the pairing. Heck, I'm not all that excited about Betty and Gio either; he really is kind of a jerk. (He's also one of those guys who is going to look like he's about fourteen for half his life, I think!)

I agree that the series really does need to use Justin more often, and have him be a bigger part of the show. Cute kid, a fun character, and there could be a lot for him to do if he could get involved with Mode on a regular basis. Killer voice, too, judging from his singing on the first season finale---he should have a couple of numbers of his own on the musical episode... Anyway, it will be tough to wait until my next Betty fix---groan, not until January?

I'm like a superhero, with no powers or motivation...

The Fassbinder flick was Die Bitteren Tränen der Petra von Kant (Bitter Tears for Petra von Kant), a tale of lesbian obsession.

Wonder if Henry is giving hints to Betty? Maybe they could invite Christina in for a little manage-a-yikes.

Who doesn't love Betty White? She is so cute and sweet? Wilhemenia battling her for a cab and injuring her in the process? What could be funnier? This show is getting better

3 episodes later, the show stopped, on the 13th.

Will Betty be back for the 14th episode on April 24?

There are evidences pointing to this. I, for one, hope they're true.
