Ugly Betty: New Loves
This week on “Ugly Betty” Ignacio and his nurse (Illiana?) continued with their relationship, no longer hiding it from the kids who had found out the week prior. Hilda had major issues with her dad dating, but the rest of the family had accepted it. By the end of the show she and Illiana were friends again. I have to say I really like that they’ve given Ignacio a love interest. It’s about time he did something other than cook and clean for the family. I hope they keep this story going.
Betty got paired up with Matt at YETI, he was from a sports magazine. They had to shadow each other and see what they could learn from each other. She was hoping to get someone from the New York Times and spent most of the show poo-poo’ing Matt’s magazine and not interested in the assignment. He eventually told her off and rightly so. Of course when she finally realized how ugly she was being, she went to see Matt’s magazine and shocker . . . learned something that helped her out.
It was Fashion Week at Mode, and Betty got assigned to run an entire show for a new designer called Heinrick. It was an accident, she and Christina were making fun of a dress he made and made up a fake press release for laughs, which Matt accidentally gave to Daniel to publish. As it turned out, it generated more PR than they could dream and Heinrick wanted Betty to stage his show. The problem was that Heinrich’s outfits were . . . a little outrageous. He would make some of the more outrageous “Project Runway” outfits look tame. His dresses had huge angle wings made of shards of glass! Betty was lost as to how to connect o him or his work, until a trip to Matt’s magazine and a talk with him helped her.
Betty not only made the show a success, by connecting with Heinrich’s past and understanding his perspective, but she realized she did in fact belong at “Mode.” It took her three years to realize that fashion was art, and that was her connection to the magazine.
I kinda liked the way they had Betty finally realize she did belong at Mode. For so long she’s been trying to escape because she didn’t fit in, but now she’s found the way she does fit in. I also love love love Matt! I hope they finally make a relationship for poor Betty work with him. It’s time she found a good guy she can be happy with. When the show goes on hiatus I am going to miss it now because of Betty and Matt!
Also going on . . . Christina finally gave birth, at the end of Heinrich’s show no less AND on the runway. It was a fitting end to his show that was inspired by pain and escape. Meanwhile Molly ended up at the doctor’s office sick and was not telling Daniel the truth. She left Fashion Week early and claimed she just had some issues to settle with her condo or something. It’s been rumored they would be killing Molly off . . . No no no! Like Betty, Daniel finally has someone to be really happy with. I like Molly and want her to stay.
