Ripped From Today's Headlines!

By Montykins

Well! This episode was kind of a downer, frankly.

It's getting pretty late in the season and everyone's pretty much happy with things. So it's clearly time to start throwing crazy plot twists into the mix. On a budget-related task for YETI, Betty finds out that Connor has been stealing from Meade Publications. This is such a big secret that it takes about ten minutes for the entire cast to learn about it. Connor claims that he did it because he hates Daniel and not because, say, it's always nice to have a few million dollars sitting around.

Connor asks Wili to fly away with him and the complete contents of the Meade bank accounts, but she ends up choosing her career. Connor leaves anyway, and presumably escapes to Tibet or something. So the Meades are broke and Wili is without her man. Also, Molly has cancer and dumps Daniel to go stay with her family.

The only note of optimism is at the end of the episode, when Betty stops messing around with Matt (there's kind of a Facebook thing going on with her feelings for Henry, but I wouldn't worry about it for now) and goes out and tries to be happy with him.

Oh, and Justin calls Tina Brown's Diana Chronicles "DiChron". I could have done without that, frankly.
