Episode Report Card Potes: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT A Nice Day For A Posh Wedding
By Potes | Season 2 | Episode 7 | Aired on 11.07.2007
Betty and Daniel, meanwhile, have a conversation in which each talks over the other -- Betty complaining about Ignacio's intolerance of her relationship with Henry, and Daniel complaining about how unvalued he is by Bradford. They say in unison, "I'm not going." Daniel isn't going to Bradford's wedding, and Betty isn't going to Ignacio's citizenship ceremony. They feel great about having each other as a confidante to non-talk to. When she goes back to her desk, Betty encounters Henry. He says Hilda called and told him what happened. He also says that Betty isn't staying with Christina -- she's staying with him. All the better to have lots of fantasy Broadway-character role-playing lovin', I would say. I wonder how long it will take them to get to Abner and Daisy Mae. Jubilation T. Cornpone, indeed.
In the closet, Christina and Stuart are sitting side by side. She asks what he wants, and he says he wants to say he's sorry that he wasn't a good husband. He's certainly a cute one, though. Christina taking off was the kick he needed to get himself some help, but part of his getting better is making amends to those he harmed. Oh, he's a twelve-stepper. Well, aren't we all. Christina says she's sorry she ran off from him, but she guesses it was easier to put money aside for two years, hide in a neighbor's barn, then wait at the airport for four days to get a standby ticket to New York than it was to talk to her husband. He gets it, and they both smile. He asks if they can ever be friends again and rests a hand on hers. She looks compelled, but uneasy.
Henry and Betty, meanwhile, are having some awkward moving-in times. Well, awkward on Betty's part. He gives her a key and a drawer and a glass, and she gives him high levels of weirdness, saying it feels different. Henry thinks it feels nice, and is glad that they don't have to hide anymore. They can be a real, nerdy couple. They can plan Christmas, they say, which leads to a small argument about where the Christmas tree should be placed. Valentine's Day goes more smoothly, and then Betty says that she also heard Hall and Oates are going to be in town in April. Cue long face from Henry. Because, you know, April, come she will. And Henry will be back in Tucson. Hey! I'll go to the concert! Like the flame that burns the candle, the candle feeds my love of Hall and Oates. I've got a bad reputation, what I need is adult education. Woah-oh-here I come. Etc. Betty apologizes for her awkwardness and goes to unpack her toothbrush in the bathroom, realizing only after she closes the door that it's the closet. They both look really sad on their respective sides of the closet door as we head to commercials.
