Episode Report Card Potes: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Betty's Wait Problem
By Potes | Season 2 | Episode 3 | Aired on 10.10.2007
In Mexico, Ignacio's flan is a success. But Ramiro still tells his son to kill him. If this show has taught us one thing, it's that you really can't trust people you thought were dead. Also, when in doubt, put rat poison in the flan.
Back at Casa de Suarez, Justin shows Hilda cell-phone photos of his day at basketball camp. One happens to be of Daniel, shooting a layup. Uh-oh. Elsewhere, Gio gives Betty shit about how she doesn't have time to write because she's so busy wiping Daniel's ass. She starts talking about her family problems, and Gio starts quacking at everything he deems as an excuse. In return, she woofs every time he mentions his five-year plan. If you ask me, this is no time for Old McDonald shenanigans. As one might have expected, Betty gets a call from Hilda and learns that Daniel can walk.
Meanwhile, it's the red carpet of the Black And White Ball! Marc jumps in front of the Fashion TV cameras and points them in the direction of Amanda. No one gives a rat, except to make a half-hearted note about the dog. As Amanda complains about the lack of attention, Marc says that she has to work and asks if Paris Hilton has everything handed to her. He thinks for a minute and acknowledges that she does, but says that that celebutard works hard to stay in the news. Amanda asks if she should pee on the carpet, and Marc says Courtney Love already did that and Amanda has to be even bigger -- to out-Lohan Lohan, and out-Britney Britney. That last one is really getting harder by the minute. She says there's nothing left, but Marc gets an evil glint in his eyes and says that there is. He sends her in the direction of a fictitious Josh Duhamel, then snags her dress so it rips clean off. Voila! Amanda is famous. If Britney had done this rather than going the pussy-shot route, I might still be able to sleep at night.
After a commercial break, Wili and Bradford talk, and he shares that Alexis is on board with the wedding. He's surprised, as she was always so close to Claire. Speaking of Claire, there she is! Yoga makes a worthy pimp-bedecked escort. Meanwhile, Daniel pops wheelies in his iBot before losing control of the vehicle and having to jump out. Betty is once again totally disappointed that she wasted her whole day -- a day when she could have been writing -- just so Daniel could play grab-ass. And yes, she said ass.
Back in Mexico, Ignacio takes the smart yet risky tactic of reminding Ramiro's son, pointing a gun at Ignacio's head, about the abuse he suffered as a child. Hey, he's better than Oprah! Or Tyra.
