So there is no new “Ugly Betty” this week, it’s a repeat. I for some reason thought the repeat was last week. Whoops! I finally got caught up though, this is last week’s episode blog.

So we learned Willamina didn’t take over Mode, she crashed their computers and set out to destroy it! She then started her own magazine Slater and stole pretty much every Mode employee. Amanda refused to leave though, because Mode was her mother’s magazine. Way to go Amanda! I loved that she didn’t bail on Mode like most of the staff.

Willamina went to her father to try and get money to finance her magazine, but he said no! He refused to help fund a world that turned her into what she had become. Very interesting. There is a story here, I’m dying to hear it. Was Willy once a nice little girl? What turned her evil?

Betty was haunted by Bradford in this episode to go and help Daniel with the magazine. Daniel and Alexis were under the gun to get their magazine out on time, and completely understaffed.

Alexis went to the printer to flirt with a guy there to convince him to keep the presses up for them. Unfortunately her normal guy Frank wasn’t there, instead a little person was working. The scenes between them were hilarious as he was offended she wouldn’t show her “cans” to him as she had planned to show Frank obviously. The two ended up bonding though over the fact that they had both disappointed their fathers because of who they were.

Amanda learned in this episode that she doesn’t have what it takes to make it in the fashion industry. She wondered if she got any talents from her father, but who is he? We saw some altar of Fey’s with photos of her many men, famous men! All sorts of Hollywood stars were on the wall. Which one is her father? It has to be someone who has appeared on the show, why I don’t know. I just feel like they wouldn’t make it someone they’d just bring in from no where, unless they could get a huge guest star. I still remain convinced Fey is still alive too.

The starlet Betty and Daniel got out of rehab to try and do the cover flipped out on them. By the end of the episode, Betty had inspired Daniel to have a simple black cover issue in honor of his dad. I thought it was really great. It should be interesting to see how this Mode vs Slater ordeal turns out.
