By Potes | Season 2 | Episode 16 | Aired on 05.08.2008
Previously on Ugly Betty: Christina had a secret Scottish husband who needed $100,000 for an experimental treatment. Wili discovered this and exploited the situation in a manner that led to Christina being impregnated with the Bradhelmina corpse child. Daniel dated Wili's sister Renee, who turned out to be super crazy when Wili replaced her meds with fat burners. And, finally, Charlie showed up in town all preggo and tried to ruin everything. But Betty and Henry's love endured, at least for the moment.
We enter with Betty and Henry having a romantic dinner, complete with NKOTB soundtrack. They toast to making the most of the time they have left together. And then the door opens. It's Charlie, ruining everything yet again! To which I say, like, have dinner somewhere other than Henry's apartment, suckers. Cut to Betty telling Christina what a monster Charlie is. Christina acknowledges that pregnant women are bitches, but Charlie also has it in for Betty since Betty stole her man. Betty points out that Charlie cheated on Henry, while she merely loved him. Christina's advice for the situation is sound: get a by-the-hour motel during lunch. Free HBO! Betty will skip the motel but is inspired by the idea of meeting Henry at lunchtime. As Christina talks about her impending end-of-the-first-trimester doctor's appointment, Betty confirms some Henry lunch plans via text.
Meanwhile, Wili seems nervous about Christina's whereabouts. Marc assures her that the baby check up will be fine, and on Monday all hell will break loose as the exiled queens of Mode make their triumphant return. Marc has even lined up the press for Wili's big announcement. Wili wants her moment, which she notes will be the biggest comeback since Jesus. Marc correctly calls this blasphemous...and sexy.
At Mode, Claire and Alexis stage a bit of an intervention with Daniel. Turns out ever since he broke up with psycho arsonist Renee he's been a mess -- staying out all night, missing meetings, wearing ill-advised leather blazers. They want him to go to a shrink. Daniel isn't so sure.
Suddenly, it's telenovela time! Ignacio is watching and cooking, and explains to Hilda the meaning of the note he left earlier -- someone named Coach Diaz wants to talk to Hilda about Justin. Hilda asks Justin what the meaning of the whole thing is. Turns out Coach Diaz is going to fail Justin in gym. Every student has to fulfill a P.E. requirement, and Justin is not fulfilling it. Coach Diaz doesn't get him, or else he might throw some gymnastics in there to mix things up. Hilda says she'll go talk to the Coach.
