Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Betty Bobs Her Hair
By Jacob Clifton | Season 3 | Episode 7 | Aired on 11.06.2008
Ignacio bitches at Betty about the size of the rooftop party, for which he's cooking, and Betty's like, "I know, I'm freaking out." He bitches about how she's going to so much trouble for a boy, and Hilda's like, "She likes him! I have done way worse things for affection!" Betty remembers for a second that she is not in a place where a boy is going to do her a lick of good, and Hilda starts naming off the things she's got going for her, like the apartment and her youth and the job. Justin offers that she's even wearing heels sometimes, thank God, and Betty switches whining to how she can't afford the party.
Justin says it doesn't have to be expensive, because he read in Vanity Fair one time about how cheap is the new chic. Which... "I heard about this trend one time" is not the most effective way to make your point, because that issue of VF could have come out during any of the three depressions the Bush family has handed us over the years, but not this one yet. Ignacio is like, "I'll make mole!" and Hilda fabulously says they should do sangria: "Cheap wine, old fruit, box of sugar? People get drunk, they don't care." She shoots a belated "drinking's bad" memo Justin's way, and he blows her off, yelling that they should have a South Of The Border theme. "Tacky Mexican stuff is so kitschy!" he says, and they all stare at him, because nobody knows if that's offensive to say, and he's like, "I can say that because it's my heritage." I guess so. Mostly it just sounds totally stupid and if I was confronted at a rooftop party by a South Of The Border theme, I would jump. Betty calls them a Snow Day, and says it's a good thing, because Jesse's dumbness is already infecting her.
Marc asks if Connor cried when Wili confronted him with the big folder of secrets Marc put together, and if Connor possibly is in need of a comforting hug, which is code language. Wili tells him to fuck off, stop asking questions, and do what she says. Marc is shocked. Connor comes in and she's all flirty about how her "door" is "always open" because she cannot help herself, and Connor asks how dinner was, confusing Marc. She's like, "Fun! Delightful! Thanks for asking!" Connor leaves to go sell everybody's ass down the river, and Marc's like, "You don't even eat dinner. You are a lying crush-haver! You haven't saluted anybody since Cheney! You have fallen to Connor like everyone else here!" Wili says she is not like those other women, ruled by emotion, and Marc delicately tries to explain that sometimes it's okay to "feel ... something" and she informs him that this is incorrect (this whole scene Marc is wearing a tie that says lovelovelovelovelove, wonderfully) and that ambition always wins over feelings, which is how she became Wilhelmina Slater, which is why she's awesome.
