Episode Report Card Monty Ashley: C- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT The Claire Witch Project
By Monty Ashley | Season 3 | Episode 14 | Aired on 02.12.2009
Meanwhile in Queens, Betty is telling Justin how mean Claire's friends were. The tribute video isn't going well so maybe she'll just have to interview Claire directly, which Justin thinks will result in a less meaningful tribute. Justin suggests home videos, which results in Betty and Hilda reminiscing fondly about their mother. Anyway, it's time for dinner. But where's Ignacio? Hilda: "He's still upstairs with Elena doing his physical therapy." Actually, they're making out on the porch. Well, I guess that's good for your heart. Betty is a stammering, appalled mess. Ignacio says that he and Elena are together, shocking absolutely no one. I mean, I realize that a telenovela doesn't have to be surprising, exactly, but wouldn't it be interesting for a show to have a hot Latina nurse who doesn't immediately take a shine to the nearest male character?
Ignacio explains to the furious Betty and furiouser Hilda that Claire recommended this. Hilda and Betty turn into huge jerks and order Elena out of the house. Isn't it Ignacio's house? That what I thought, and that's what Ignacio thought too, but he gets overruled by his daughters. Elena leaves, and Ignacio tries to talk sense to his daughters. This is made difficult by the fact that he's not even allowed to finish the sentence "There is no way that Elena would ever replace your--" because Betty doesn't want her mother in the same sentence as Elena. Lordy. And Hilda flat out tells him he can't date Elena.
At the Himalayan place, Molly receives a free plate of stuff from the chef. Daniel sourly wonders if it's "Mister Connor's favorite", but apparently Molly likes the weird stuff while Connor sticks with the noodles. Eager to prove that he's cooler than Connor, Daniel snipes a forkful off of Molly's plate, only to discover that it's blood pudding. "Sure can taste the, uh, blood," mumbles Daniel. I went to a Tibetan place once. I had the noodles.
When the waiter comes by, Molly claims to still be deciding and makes Daniel go first. That's not fair; she should be recommending stuff. Daniel stabs randomly at the menu and finds out that he's ordered boiled yak tongue. His next try is "Mister Connor's special," and Molly decides that they need to take some more time to order. Daniel pouts a bit and discovers that he's drinking fermented yak butter tea. That's enough to make him spring up and rush for the bathroom. You know, fermented yak butter is called "ghee". I guess you could say that something shocked the living ghee out of him.
