Once again, as I’m so far behind, I’m mostly posting thoughts on the show than re-caps. The thoughts somewhat serve as a mini-cap as well.

The last two episodes really revolved around guest star Lindsay Lohan as Betty’s nemesis Kimmy, who came to work at “Mode.” It was basically her rise and fall. Once she became popular and got a great job there, she began treating Betty like dirt again. Mark, Amanda and Betty ultimately conspired to have her fired, but Kimmy became so full of herself that she didn’t need any help in that department.

I actually enjoyed Linday’s performance, she played the bitch perfectly. They set her exit up so it would be possible for her to return at some point, though with all the rumors of tension on the set because of her I doubt that will ever happen. It’s a shame, she could have become a good nemesis for Betty.

Mark’s boyfriend Cliff made the shortest of appearances in the latest episode. Hopefully we’ll see more of him in the future, as I think they can do so much more with the character.

Wilamena and Daniel had a funny date due to being set up by a dating service, but it seemed to help them mend fences and agree to get along at work for the sake of the business. It looked as if thing were actually improving between the two. Later though Claire suggested neither of them had the business sense Alexis did, so they needed to hire a CFO to manage the business end of things. Wilamena found a guy with a great background, who apparently had a bad history with Daniel. Intrigued she pushed Daniel to hire him regardless. It didn’t take her long to start looking for ways to cause trouble! Daniel agreed to hire him, but the joke was on Willy. Daniel and the guy were friends and set her up! She has no idea what they are planning, though neither do we.

Justin tried out for a Broadway musical and ran into the cool jock from school, who was also trying out. It seemed the jock had a talent and love for the musical theater as well. Neither got the part, and it appears formed a friendship. I’d love to see more of this, as Justin is so underutilized!

Finally Hilda worked to open her salon, and had Ralph Machio stop in as a city councilman needing a haircut. He then told her it was illegal for her to run her shop out of her house. Oops! Ralph was only on for a bit, but it seems like they’ve set him up to return and as a possible love interest for Hilda. It was funny to see him though, as he looks so different now. I had to remember he was guest staring and then realized it was him! Had I not known, I never would have realized it.
