This was probably one of my favorite episodes of “Ugly Betty.” I really liked the mystical aspects with the village shaman/healer lady giving Betty a prophecy of sorts.

Betty and family traveled to Mexico because Ignacio needed to try and get a visa to stay in the country. They met up with Ignacio’s family, only to learn from their aunt that there mother’s mother was still alive! Of course this was kept from the girls because their grandma turned her back on her daughter, who left to be with Ignacio. After a woman told Betty she’d never be happy, Betty was convinced she had to find her grandmother to break some curse.

After a bus ride with Hilda, leaving them both stranded, Betty saw the tree missing branches and the blue house that the old woman told Betty about. In the house was her grandmother, who sadly was suffering from Alzheimer’s. However she thought Betty was her daughter, telling her she was right to go and fight for her man. Obviously Betty took this to mean she had to go fight for Henry. Her grandma gave her some of her mother’s clothes, in which Hilda found her wedding dress. It seemed everything ended happily ever after . . .

Then we learned Ignacio had been denied a visa and had to stay in Mexico. Worse yet, that guy called someone to finally have their revenge on Ignacio. Obviously his wife’s first husband is still alive and wants revenge! Uh Oh!

Back in New York, Bradford went through some whole mid-life crisis nonsense. I really didn’t see the point of that whole storyline, it bored me and was the least interesting of the whole episode. Meanwhile, Alexis found herself facing off with the last woman she dated as a man. An upset Daniel decided to date Jordan, Alexis’ ex. Jordan in turn used Daniel to get the next best thing to Alex, as well as a little bit of revenge I suspect. In the end, Jordan was still attracted to Alex/Alexis . . . and Daniel got a little show! Poor Daniel just can’t beat his brother . . . er sister at anything.

Alexis also hired a man to knock off Bradford . . .  but it seems they messed up and hit Daniel. Obviously they don’t kill him. Was it an accident though, or did she pay a little extra to have her brother beat up over the Jordan thing?

Elsewhere, Marc remained jealous over Amanda’s new “gay boy.”  Of course at a big fashion party where the guy was trying to impress, Marc caught Amanda kissing him and got the truth, he’s a straight designer in the closet. I loved Marc’s speech to her that she was worth so much more and this was Daniel all over again. Then one of the best parts of the night, when Marc “outed” him. It looked like he was still in with the fashion crowd . . . until Amanda broke out the shell dresses! Amanda and Marc are priceless. Finally at the end of the show . . . they found Fey Summer’s love dungeon! It does exist!

Next week’s promos looked hot! We had Betty fighting for Henry, but his girlfriend shows up! It looks like Bradford proposed? It also looks like Claire returns with a gun?Marc and Amanda find a birth certificate that is shocking? That one I can’t wait to find out about. Finally a gun shot is fired! Who fires the gun? Is it Claire or Henry’s crazy girlfriend, and who gets hit? The suspense is killing me!
