Thoughts On Ugly Betty’s Season 3 Finale

Thoughts On Ugly Betty’s Season 3 Finale

So here are my thoughts on the Season 3 Finale for “Ugly Betty.”

First of all, I have to say I loved the finale! It was great, possibly one of the best finales I’ve seen so far this season. A mix of happiness, sadness and enough mystery that doesn’t eat away at me.

First, I was so sure Claire had an affair with Cal and the result was Daniel. While they had an affair, and there was a baby, it wasn’t Daniel! She lied and claimed she had an abortion, but at the end of the show we saw her burning an adoption certificate. Who is the baby? My money is on Henry!

Willy tried to blackmail Claire over the abortion to get her to resign as acting VP of Mead Publications, but she refused. In fact, Cal sided with her and felt Willy’s role in the company needed reevaluating. Uh oh! Willy then hired some guy to find Connor, thinking he had enough money to get her back in. This confused me, as the way she made it sound, she was planning to use the money to buy Mead out from Cal? How do you use money stolen from a company to buy it? Only on TV?

Betty and Marc ended up going for the same job at Mode after one of the assistant editors died. They were both qualified and Willy and Daniel couldn’t decide, so they flipped a coin . . . and Betty got the job!

Her happiness however was short lived. Henry returned and complicated things with her and Matt. Matt asked Betty to move in with him, she was apparently hoping for a marriage proposal. She ended up kissing Henry, which Matt saw. Betty tried to tell Matt, but never found the time. He confronted her saying he knew they kissed, she didn’t tell him, it was over.

Later Matt surprised Betty with some news. His dad offered him a job at Mode and he took it, he’s now Betty’s boss! Okay Matt has officially entered creepy stalker land! He had no interest in publishing anymore, wanting to go into art school. Now all of the sudden he wants to do be there why? To just lurk over Betty? I’m sensing Betty is either going to quit next season over him, or Henry will come in to rescue her.

The sad part of the episode came with Molly’s death. We all knew she wasn’t going to live, but I guess I hoped a miracle would happen. In a way it did. She was present to see Daniel win some award for Mode, but it was her ghost that was present through the episode. Molly had died back at their apartment and appeared to Daniel as a ghost!

  1. I really liked Betty and Matt together and I hated that they had Henry come back just to mess it up. And what about Charlie? Nothing was even mentjioned!!! (Or at least I don’t remember hearing anything). I keep thinking that Molly was still alive in the apartment and that it was someone else. I mean, we didn’t get to see WHO was in the body bag. Loved the ending with everyone having some kind of cliffhanger.

  2. I think we are to assume it was Molly because of her appearance and disappearance at the awards.

    I like betty and matt too, but I think these last few episodes they’ve been setting it up to show that Matt is a little unstable.

  5. I also quite liked Betty and Matt together…,something about the rich boy and not soo rich girl had a nice ring, though sometimes he did seem a little all over. I wouldn’t like to see Charlie come back to Betty’s life, he’s history.
    Im also hoping that Molly somehow fights her cancer and comes back since they didn’t really show her dying!!! After all its television anything is possible!!!
