By Potes | Season 2 | Episode 16 | Aired on 05.08.2008
When we return, Betty practices breaking up with Henry while she hangs decorations, and Hilda fusses over what to wear to go apologize to Coach Diaz. Betty totally calls Hilda out on her crush, and notes that she might want to find out what his actual name is in service of their future makeout sessions. Hilda acknowledges this is the first time she's felt something since Santos died. Betty swoons over Henry. Guess that practice breakup was all for naught. Oh, and then Henry shows up. He wants to talk. He and Betty have been stressing over the short amount of time they have left together, he says, so there's only one thing left to do. As Betty braces herself, Henry says that they have to stay together forever. And ever, Amen. Henry's cousin just got a new job on TransWest airlines, and is willing to share his friends and family discount. So Henry can come to see Betty every other weekend. And once in a while, Betty can see him. Or they can meet in the middle -- also known as Springfield, Missouri -- also known as Queen City of the Ozarks. And they can call and email and video chat. Betty is excited. Henry tells her that she's the most important thing in his life. You know, until the timer pops and the bun comes out. The bell rings. It's Charlie, there for her shower. She gets pissed when she sees Henry kiss Betty goodbye, and so instantly insults both the size and the smell of Betty's house. Betty kind of wishes Renee was there to set fire to this whole situation.
Christina, meanwhile, wakes up to find Stuart not in their bed. She opens the bedroom door to find Stuart, Wili and Marc waiting in the kitchen. Turns out, Stuart called Wili. Wili acknowledges that she needs the baby, and will pay to ensure that Christina follows through. She asks what Christina wants. Christina says she wants nothing, except maybe to punch Stuart in the throat. She grabs her things and walks out the door. Wili is confident that she'll be back -- after all, she has nowhere else to go.
Back at the baby shower, pregnant ladies mill about. And then Amanda shows up! She instantly heads for the food. Charlie complains about the piñata that Betty bought, and the vegetables that she cut too long ago for Charlie's liking. Amanda wonders why everyone at the party is so fat. As Betty chops more vegetables, Ignacio notes that she doesn't seem to be having much fun. But Betty is determined to pull off the shower, and says that she and Henry have figured out how to make it work long distance. Ignacio isn't so sure about this new plan. Long-distance is no replacement for spending time together, he says, and Henry is having a baby. Once you're a parent, nothing is ever the same. Betty says it will be hard work, but they can do it. Then Daniel shows up, asking to borrow some money. He confesses that he slept with his therapist, and then some other girls, and then he woke up in Queens with his wallet gone. He's not the first, and he won't be the last. Then Christina shows up, needing urgently to talk to Betty. Charlie complains from the living room as Betty hands Daniel off to Ignacio and takes Christina upstairs for a little one-on-one time.
