Ugly Betty

Previously on "ugly betty"... That's lindsay dunne.

He's the most powerful publisher in all of britain.

Please don't tell anyone. It's just between us.

It's not the right time. No, we'll still see each other. Long distance?

I guess I was destined to be an alcoholic.

Consider willie your sponsor.

I think claire might have lied to me about who my father is.

Henry, what we had was amazing,

And I'm always gonna be a little bit in love with you.

That's okay, as long as it doesn't keep us from moving on.

oh, how can you drink that stuff?

It tastes like bad breath. Oh, no, I don't drink that. But I hear it's good for you.

You know, you don't have to fill in for amanda.

I can get a temp, really. It's fine. I can totally do my own work here.

And it's kind of fun being back at my old desk.

Speaking of what a great friend I am...

Were we? We are now.

I was wondering if you'd want to come with me to hilda's wedding.

Are you asking mto be... Your date?

I mean, if you're free. It's on Saturday.

Never mind. You probably have something better to do.

No, it sounds like fun.

Oh. I was supposed to see trista on Saturday, but...

What? What's with the face? Why are you so down on her?

I'm sorry. She seems very sweet.

It's just-- she sorta makes you dumb.

What? Wait. I don't see that at all.

You know what?

It's none of my business.

I will stay out of it.

Why does amanda have a picture of me sleeping in here?

It's not weird, right?

I mean, we lived together for a year.

You don't have braces.

Oh, my god. This is recent.

You know, I am gonna miss having her around.

Good morning, gentlemen. Mm.

Hello. Oh, good.

Ugh. Um, you don't work here anymore. Remember?

You had that big dramatic exit

Where you tried to tip over the reception desk

And shouted out, "I'm a stylist now, circus freaks.

Take one last look at my tight bee-hind."

Yeah, but I needed some pencils.

Plus, how can I set up shop without my sleeping betty?

Oh, that's nice. Is this new?

No, I'm just working with a faster shutter spee

Oh, I got my first stylist referral-- spencer cannon.

He's one of those soap opera actors

Who's been on it 20 years. Oh.

He plays twins--an evil doctor and a really evil doctor.

I'm gonna take him to the closet so we can get ideas. You mean steal clothes?

Yeah. Uh-huh.

hey, marc. Hey, troy.

Oh, wow. Nice jeans. They really make your package pop.

Oh. Thanks.

mm.

marc, stop it. You have small shoulders.

You can't be desperate, too.

How could he leave me for that poindexter? I loved troy.

really? Yeah, in my own standoffish way.

Mm. (elevator bell dings)

Hey, your ward's here.

Oh! Hey. What's up, junior?

Could I talk to you? It's really important.

Okay. Come on.

So that really important thing

You had to talk to me about--

Did it involve words?

You want to do this later? Can you please just give me a second?

Yes. Of course. Of course. I'm sorry. Take your time.

Bobby's gonna say something, and everyone's gonna find out.

I'm not sure I know what you--

He walked in on me and austin.

He saw us kissing.

Um, so...

Is austin your...

boyfriend?

I don't know.

Maybe.

But why does anyone have to know?

W... Um, okay.

First of all,

You have a boyfriend. Yay for you.

I don't.

Um, but also,

If you don't want anyoneto know,

They don't have to know.

A really great guy.

He's not gonna say anything.

And as far as your mom goes...

She's pretty cool.

Well, what happened when you told your mom?

well.

My experience was not necessarily the norm.

It was bad, right?

Your family is completely different.

I don't want them to know.

O-okay. Okay. Breathe.

You don't have to say a word until you're ready.

...So stop by the art department, and I'll have the--

delete. Pause. Okay, here are the earrings

That I promised hilda for her wedding. Oh.

And here are the diet pills.

I want her skinny as a beautiful corpse

When your papi helps her down the aisle. Thank you. And since you've been so helpful,

Hilda says you should bring a plus one. (gasps)

Some of our family can't come. They got deported?

(henry) hey, betty. It's me.

Henry? Got your message about coming to hilda's wedding on Saturday.

What? Your timing couldn't be better. I'll be in new york anyway.

We're actually about to get on the plane.

It sounds like he put on a few pounds. Shh.

So... Yeah, I'd love to be your date. Okay.

What? I'll see you when I get in.

How is that possible? I never invited him. Bye.

Yeah, you did.

sorry.

That was a hiccup, not a burp.

Hilda's getting married, and I was wondering

If you'd like to come to the wedding as my date.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god. I did.

Ugh! I remember now.

Why would I do that?

Who knows why you do anything, lady?

That's why we love you justs you are--

Brown and complicated.

my first client's here. Kiss for good luck? Mnh-mnh.

You're so withholding.

Good news.

Your mother loves the crochet kit I sent.

She's making me a sweater...

And it'll be perfect for the fall. Mm, thanks.

I'm going to "mode" today. I'm gonna tell claire meade

That I want my shares of that company.

When I think of the poverty you grew up in,

It just--it breaks my heart.

But, tyler, can--can I say something?

A-anything.

Wilhelmina, you're the on person I trust anymore.

Oh.

Well, tyler, that means the world to me.

It's just th--

Being around the meades cost you your sobriety.

And, uh,ith the shares,

You will be tied to them indefinitely.

Well, can't I sell them?

Well, I-I assume so, but in--in this climate,

It's gonna be hard to find a buyer. Well, I don't want that!

I just wanna get my money and go home.

Okay, okay. Well, let's think about this.

There's always a solution.

I suppose I could buy your shares.

I mean, I'm--I'm used to dealing with the meades. You'd do that?

Why not?

A few more shares doesn't mean a thing to me.

Oh, uh, and I want a commitment not to drink today.

I won't.

Good.

I'm taking temptation away.

(sighs)

So you drunk dialed henry? Why would you do that?

I don't know.

Well, it must mean something if you drunk dialed him.

Well, come on. I mean, you've drunk dialed me before.

"betty, I'm locked out. " "betty, I can't find my phone."

"betty, is my hair thinning?" okay, that never happened,

Because my hair is not getting thin.

Is that henry is on a plane,

And he thinks that he's coming to hilda's wedding with me.

Are you uninviting me?

Because I canceled plans.

No, no. No. Hilda wants you to be there.

You could bring trista.

I thought, uh, trista made me dumb. But you like that.

Come on, daniel. Why are you being like this?

I'll just make sure and powder my head.

I wouldn't want the pictures to blind anyone. Thank you.

Okay, hilda, so it's settled.

I am going to the wedding with henry,

Which is really weird,

And daniel is going with trista, which is...

Well, it is what it is. Anyway, call me when you get this.

God, I don't know how this day could get any more complicated.

Aah! Oh.

Sorry. Mr. Dunne. Hi. What are you doing here?

And why aren't you in london?

I'm here to see you.

You have exactly the right voice for a new magazine I'm starting,

A sort of younger person's " new yorker."

Oh, my god.

Really?

I think my voice would be perfect for that.

yes, I love your shrill american enthusiasm.

so, uh, what, you, um,

You want me to contribute to your new magazine?

No. I want you to help me run it...

Ah!

In london.
