Episode #8: I See Me, I.C.U.
Charm School meets Ugly Betty tonight!

Wilhelmina’s wedding was supposed to be the social event of the season. Instead it ended up more like wedding disasters caught on tape when the groom collapsed at the alter! But But alls well that ends well because you can’t keep a good villain down! Wilhelmina is already up and plotting her next move. Can she succeed and overcome this wedding debacle? Will Bradford be gullible enough to forgive her? After all he couldn’t figure out she didn’t want him in the first place. Luckily he collapsed at the wedding before saying “I Do” but Wilhelmina could still convince him even in the face of Daniel telling him she’s sleeping with the bodyguard.

Wilhelmina isn’t the only one trying to get into someone’s good graces. Henry has to use all of his charm and nerd sexy in order to get past Mode’s weekend receptionist and retrieve something of vital importance for Betty. What could be so important? Will Daniel come to his senses and rehire Betty? True she made a mistake but he needs her and he’s made his fair share of mistakes.

Comedian Mo’Nique will be starring as the weekend receptionist named L’Amanda who has a thing for Henry. This episode is worth seeing just for the kiss these two share! Theirs also the title with “I.C.U.” standing for intensive care unit and Bradford in the hosptial I assume. Stay tuned!

Will Wilhelmina get wedded bliss and the magazine of her dreams?

Thursday night on Ugly Betty the long awaited wedding of Wilhelmina and Bradford takes place. Will the wedding go off without a hitch? Will the Bride even make it all the way down the aisle? Somehow I doubt it! The much buzzed about guest appearance of Posh from the Spice Girls finally occurs. Victoria Beckham is playing herself as the maid of honor to Wilhelmina. Vera Wang herself cameo’s and designs Posh and Wilhelmina’s wedding gowns. Wilhelmina does not take well to anyone disrupting her plans or stealing her thunder so what will she do when Posh steals the spotlight at her own wedding?

Betty is still dealing with the guilt over the secret pact she made with Wilhelmina. In which she agreed to keep secret Wilhelmina’s daytime sexcapades with her bodyguard (played by ex-husband Rick Fox) in exchange for getting Ignacio out of Mexico. Ignacio is excited about becoming a U.S. citizen, finally! But Betty has some news that puts a damper on his excitement and strains their normally close relationship. What’s Betty’s news? She’s moving in with Henry!

Episode #6: Something Wicked This Way Comes
Betty, Henry and Gio make three tonight on Ugly Betty!

Betty has a love triangle interest of her own to sort out tonight. She and Henry are trying to continue their romance with a secret date to the Broadway production of the Tony award winning musical Wicked. However Daniel goofs and thinks that Betty is dating Gio (Freddy Rodriguez) and gives the two of them the tickets instead. Gio has the hots for Betty and refuses to give up the tickets.

How will Betty handle this love triangle? Apparently with a lot of noise since she actually ends up interrupting the show. The Wicked scenes for Ugly Betty are shot at the Pantages Theatre and features the Wicked cast. While Betty is unlucky in love Daniel attempts to score with an older woman. Marlo Thomas guest stars as an advertiser who has a thing for younger men and Daniel pimps himself out for the magazine.

Tonight on Ugly Betty: Betty is ready to get over Henry and move on with her life. How will she find true love? Internet dating! However Henry is less than thrilled when Betty gets asked out on a bowling date. Marc can’t believe it when he finds himself attracted to a chubby photographer which is definitely not his type. Daniel and Alexis are going to have to “grin and bare it” to make it through a family dinner with Wilhelmina. Hilda is too wrapped up in her own world to notice that Justin is running around with the wrong crowd and ditching school.

What’s coming on the Watching Ugly Betty blog: Missing recaps will all be up this weekend. As well as the Ugly Betty Halloween issue! Check out my review of Season 2 so far and info on some great Ugly Betty products you can buy next week!

What else is on?: After Ugly Betty turn over to NBC to catch the season premiere of the final season of Scrubs! The chemistry of JD and Turk reminds me a little of Betty and Daniel.

Tonight in the all new episode of Ugly Betty: “Grin and Bear it”

Betty finally takes steps toward her goal of one day running her own magazine when she signs up for a writing class. The class is so challenging Betty ends up trashing the story she wrote and instead submitting a story from Mode. In it a woman recounts how she survived a bear attack. Of course this ends up being bad news for Betty and I can’t believe she stole someone else’s work. Amanda gains possession of a deep dark secret from Wilhelmina’s past. Somehow this secret will reveal clues to who her father is. Maybe through blackmailing of Wilhelmina? That would be fun to see.

Alexis comes back to work and has no idea on how to “act” like a girl, maybe she’s still grabbing her boobs or hasn’t yet mastered high heels. Sounds like lots of laughs to me either way! Mode’s top advertiser suggests to Daniel that he fire Alexis. James Van Der Beek famous for the title character on “Dawson’s Creek” where Dawson has an on again off again relationship with Katie Holmes character guest stars as Mode’s top advertiser. If that isn’t enough to get you tuned in for this episode Justin is making out with a girl in the Promo and Daniel seems to be involved in a little bit of dominatrix play.

Episode 3 Betty’s Wait Problem premieres tonight!

Premise: Henry is sort of back in Betty’s life but Betty finds herself distracted by Gio (Freddy Rodriguez). Gio is the new Mode sandwich guy and Betty finds herself both intrigued and annoyed by him. The Mode gang is preparing for the Meades’ Black and White Ball. Bradford informed Wilhelmina he wants to postpone the wedding but Wilhelmina is already plotting how to get her wedding back on track. Claire decides to crash the party, and Amanda plans on using it to announce to the world she’s Fey Sommers illegitimate daughter. Fashion designer Kenneth Cole will also make a guest appearance in this episode.

What I can’t wait to see!: Some more of Claire and Wilhelmina throwing down! Wilhelmina sure can’t take a punch but she does have a huge bodyguard to protect her now. Daniel’s response to finding out that Amanda could possibly be his sister. That would be so nasty…but still kind of funny! Will Yoga (Claire Meade’s prison escapee friend) be attending the party? Her character is hilarious and should definitely spice up the straight laced Meade party. Ignacio seems to have some secrets in Mexico. Will we finally get to the bottom of his past or will he end up dead from a gunman?

How to follow it up: The theme for this episode seems to be all about daddies! After Ugly Betty ends stay tuned for a new episode of Grey’s Anatomy. Meredith has been having some serious daddy issues of her own as well. Then check out the Californication recap and catch up on Hank Moody’s daddy issues.

Why am I dancing, you ask? Ugly Betty is back and all new (finally) this Thursday! In episode 19 “Punch Out” Betty tries to keep Daniel on the up and up as he reverts to his old male gigolo ways, with lots of partying and models. A tabloid style writer is stalking the Meade family and she has possession of Fey Summers diaries. Guess which two diabolical divas want these diaries? Yes it’s Wilhelmina and Alexis but they have different plans for them. On the home front Ignacio is feeling the pressure as Constance urges him to turn their relationship into a romantic one.

What I can’t wait too see!

* Will Ignacio give in to Constance?
Obviously Constance wants him, and what Constance wants she will probably get! Especially since Ignacio’s future in America will probably depend on making her very happy.

*Will Eric and Alexis make up?
The last new episode of Ugly Betty left Daniel feeling rather dejected. His sister once again left him in the dust and made him feel like a failure. Both his mother and father are too caught up in their feelings about Alexis to give any thought to Daniel’s needs or feelings. Claire is happy to have Alexis back and is caught up in the fantasy of them being one big happy family; While Bradford is obsessed with getting revenge and keeping Claire out of jail.

*What secrets are in Fey Summers diaries?
My first guess is intimate details about Bradford Meade in bed, as well as details on his shady business practices. Bradford is the type who doesn’t mind getting dirty to get what he wants, and he’s got to have some skeletons in the closet. Who knows what else!

What’s your guess?
