Well, we are nearing the end of season 2 and the writers are trying to get everything the wanted to cover this year into the last few episodes. This week Wilhelmina and Marc return to Mode. Betty is trying to get over Henry who returned to Tucson, but Gio is starting to make his move on her.
The show starts with Betty in bed crying over Henry. It's been two weeks since Henry has had his son and has returned to Tucson.
Wilhelmina and Marc made a grand entrance back to Mode. Now I must say ...it was fun to see Marc and Amanda so happy to be together again. Willie's plan is to manipulate Daniel whom she feels is the weakest link to the Meades. When Marc and Amanda get some time together she tells him about a reality show she is doing with her father, Gene Simmons.
Daniel: Daniel gives an idea for the next issue but Willie says "Elle" is doing the same thing, so she gives an idea to Alexis and Alexis likes it and goes with it. Daniel is not happy and says Willie is just trying get back at them. Daniel goes on Larry King and tries to downplay Wilhelminia coming back to Mode, but ends up embarrassing himself when Marc calls in to the show disguising his voice. Alexis later makes her Creative Director.
Betty; Claire gives Betty a 300 word assignment for "Hot Flash". Betty tells Gio about her writing an article for Mrs. Meade. Gio is happy for her then tells her that he knows she likes him and then kisses her. When she returns to Mode a picture of her kissing Gio is popping up on all the computers thanks to Marc and Amanda! THEY'RE BAAACK!!
Betty feels guilty over the kiss because she feels there should be more time to get over Henry. She decides to chaperone Justin's dance for Hilda since she is sick, but when she arrives at the dance she sees that Gio is a chaperone also. While Betty is trying to interview the kids, Gio keeps distracting her. Betty tells Gio how she got the "Good Citizen" award (always doing the right thing). Gio then starts to dance with Betty, but she runs away when they get a bit too close. Gio finds her crying on the steps. She says she just can't forget about someone she loved. Gio tells her it's ok to just feel and stop being a "good citizen". Gio then breaks into the award case and lets her hold her award, but the principle busts them. Justin tells his coach that his mom likes him. Coach Diaz later shows up at Hilda's with soup and asks her out.
As Betty, Justin, Gio and his sister walk home, Betty says she had fun. Betty then asks Gio if he wants to get together some time, but he says he doesn't want to be her "rebound guy", he wants to be "the guy".
Amanda; Amanda doesn't want Marc on the show, but he shows up. They have a bit of a falling out, because Amanda says he is just jealous of her. But Marc sees that Gene is not like he is on TV. Later Amanda finds out Genes tattoo is a fake.Back at the office Amanda apologizes how she acted and says she knows who her real family is....(Marc).
Next week ...season finale!!! SOFTBALL GAME!
fav quotes:
Marc: "Mandy...your going to be a reality TV star. It's what every pretty girl with no specific talent dreams of"
"Well, isn't it Miss Fancy Pants Celebrity, back amongst the muggles"
I loved when Marc said "Marc and Amanda...we're so much fun...everyone says so" because this is exactly what all the Ugly Betty fans really say.
My twoCents.....I didn't think this was as good as I expected. Missed Henry for one thing. But I did like having Marc and Amanda back together.
so what did you think? give your 2 pennies worth in the comments. Do you like Gio being with Betty? Glad Willies back?
I was glad to see Marc and Amanda back together - but I felt like their chemistry was a little bit off.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Gene Simmons isn't Amanda's father, because that whole story line seemed a little forced.
I still don't like Gio. He even showed his bad side at the dance when he was pestering Betty while she was trying to write her article. I think he's immature and a jerk and he didn't endear me at all in this episode.
I loved all the Marc lines you quoted - I think he's my favorite character of all. I especially liked in this episode how he color coordinated his outfit to match Willie's when they made their grand entrance. That was a great scene with the stand off in the tunnel!
Can't wait for the softball game next week! Henry's back!
Careys girl, did you notice the purses with the knives in them in the scene where Willie arrives back at Mode? Brilliant set designer! I too, felt the Gene Simmons storyline is dragging.
ReplyDeleteI want Henry back!! I am really going to miss this show when the season is over. With the whole writer's strike, I haven't went back to watching much shows but this one is a must-see. By the way love the whole TwoCents thing
ReplyDeleteI did notice those purses - I thought they were brilliant, also! Loved how the red they used for the blood was the EXACT same shade of red in Willie's clothes and lipstick!
ReplyDeleteYour comments are great and very detailed to what is going on in each show. I am amazed at your memory and writing. I have to say though, I love Gio! He is so sweet to Betty. Good-bye Henry and Hello Gio in the next season. What do you think about that? Its good to have Marc and Amanda back together on the show. You never know what is going to happen with them together and it makes the show fun. Keep up the great writing and cannot wait until next season to read more of your comments!
