Back to Ignacio: Can someone clue me in as to why he was being held at gunpoint there at the end? Was that guy a relative of the man he killed before leaving Mexico the first time? Woe, woe, woe. I'm confused (and sad!), but we'll no doubt find out what's happening next week. Seems like Ignacio won't be leaving Mexico anytime soon — or he's going to have to give that guy something that he wants (his life? one of his daughters? some of his famous enchiladas?). We all should have seen this one coming because of the references to it last season.
On the Alexis-Daniel-Bradford front, it's lies. All lies. (So typical for the Meade family.) This is totally Betty because of all the secrets, but where is it leading us? Will Alexis find out that both Daniel and Bradford are lying to her about what happened before the accident? Will Claire swoop back in and tell her the truth about everything? Does Bradford really want his family back? And I'm sorry, I kind of need Alexis to do something other than grab her breasts and look wide-eyed — and I know she's laid up in the hospital — for me to care about her again.
Last, let's talk about Betty's romantic life. I'm down with Henry's return because I'm really rooting for these two to get together. They're cute — no one can deny that. But Henry is a jerk sometimes — going on and on about all the baby and fatherhood stuff to his buddy Betty, ugh — and she's just too timid. Their relationship could languish in will-we-or-won't-we forever. I would have loved it if Betty had found someone in the time that Henry was gone — stick it to him a bit! Also: Where was the damn kiss between Betty and Henry ? It was almost there, but not. We were cheated! (And so was Betty. And Henry for that matter.)
As for Betty sound bites, I thought it was kind of a dry week. Lots of good turns of phrases (''pie-eating Betty,'' ''I know he pays you for your south-of-the border spirit,'' ''Willameister''), but only a few others that I loved (besides the ones I've already quoted above):
3. Willy, making a deal with Betty on the Mode roof: ''Come on, girl. I am black. You are Mexican. Let's not talk around it like a coupla dull white people. Keep your mouth shut, and your old man comes home.''
2. Duane the bodyguard, just before his ''afternoon delight'' with Willy: ''Can I be on top this time?'' Willy: ''Don't be stupid!''
1. Christina, sneaking into Wilhelmina's apartment with Betty: ''I can't believe we're actually in Lucifer's chamber, Beelzebub's lair, the devil's rumpus room! Ohhh, look! A photograph of Wilhelmina with Dick Cheney!''
So, TV Watchers, I'm asking you: What were your favorite lines from this week's episode? Where was Claire? (Guess not every story line can play out every week.) Will Bradford and Willy actually tie the knot? And how ugly is Amanda's new dog, Halston? (Yuck!)
