Episode Report Card Monty Ashley: D | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT And Tacos Are Coming!
By Monty Ashley | Season 3 | Episode 22 | Aired on 05.14.2009
After some commercials, Daniel comes by to check on things. Betty recaps the situation: no Adele, no Matt, no relationship, no career future. Daniel tells her that Molly cancelled the wedding and that the hotel was booked until winter. He wishes he could just forget all the complications and marry her right now. Betty suggests that he do it right here. They've got a venue, a photographer, a variety of wedding gowns at Mode, and tacos are coming. Tacos! Molly wanted tacos! And stars! Since the Y.E.T.I. project is torpedoed anyway, why not? Daniel goes off to get Molly, and Betty appears excited about at least having something to do.
Now there's a great exterior shot of the planetarium. That place looks amazing! They don't even need to be inside it, if you ask me. You could get a great astronomy-themed photo shoot just by setting up where the cameraman is standing when he got this shot. Although I think there are more stars in the sky than is strictly realistic for a New York-based shot.
Daniel and Molly say their vows as a crazy-dressed model with a white fright-wig officiates. Claire is suspicious about whether this is legally binding, but Betty assures her that she was ordained before becoming a model. We'll just assume that all the other traditional requirements for a wedding have magically been taken care of. They are pronounced husband and wife in the name of New York and the Supreme Ministry of Exelon 4. Kiss! Confetti! Applause! Reception!
Claire finds Wilhelmina, who congratulates her on "finally marrying off your man-whore." Claire tells Wili that Cal liked that Claire put the magazine ahead of her own ego and made her Senior Vice President of Meade. Claire, you're already the owner of Meade! Reporting directly to Cal is a demotion. You already had a say in all Meade Publications! This is the stupidest plot twist ever.
Wili stomps off, shoving a huge seminaked male alien out of the way. It's okay, he immediately gets consoled by Amanda. And it's one of those full-body consolations, too. Wili goes behind a window and screams and smashes some planets. I bet that's fun. Also expensive.
Music starts up and people are dancing. Betty, for example, is dancing with Daniel when Matt asks to cut in. He warns her that if he steps on her toes, it's because he's not a very good dancer. She says that if she steps on his toes, it's because she's still mad at him. That's fair. He claims he wants the same thing that Betty wants, which is to find something he's passionate about. Then he steps on her foot. Suddenly Adele shows up. I know it's Adele, because Betty shrieks "Oh my god! It's Adele!" She's here for the photo shoot, and for the foot massage that Marc promised her that I think I forgot to mention. Matt explains that he's not committed to publishing, but that he is committed to Adele. So he got Adele to come. Somehow.
