As for Wilhelmina, everyone's favorite bad girl hit a new kind of low tonight. Sure, we knew she was evil and manipulative and all, but stealing a microphone from a sick child to announce her wedding plans? All I can say is her Cruella De Vil-inspired gown was very fitting. But sealing a wedding date to deter Claire from trying to win back Bradford was only the half of it. Through a book of hilariously Photoshopped pictures (thanks to Marc's ''a-mahzing'' skills), Willy was able to convince Alexis that they were best friends before her accident in order to gain Alexis' approval to marry Bradford on the date originally set. Another nugget of (mis)information Willy dropped: Claire divorced Bradford, and not the other way around. Poor Alexis. With all the lies being fed her way, it's a wonder that she even knows about the sex-change operation (though that would be pretty hard to miss). But where was Daniel to do some Willy damage control?
Speaking of lies, after Henry got over his hangover (note: melon and apricot mix well. Also note: alcohol and antihistamines do not), he confronted Charlie, who confessed to cheating on Henry with Betty's orthodontist. Though we won't know the paternity until Charlie's 14th week of pregnancy [good catch, reader Lynn!], my guess is the baby isn't Henry's. He has to get together with Betty sometime, right? In the meantime, I wonder if Betty's new friendship with Gio will lead to some kind of romance. It wouldn't kill Betty to make Henry just a teensy bit jealous, would it?
And before I forget, Ignacio officially returned home to Queens after being held at gunpoint by his former boss and romantic rival. With all the soap operas Ignacio watches, he should have known that no villain is truly ever dead. I think it's a pretty safe bet, however, that Ramiro was at least wounded by his son, who was probably fed up with all that verbal humiliation.
And finally, speaking of verbal humiliation, what would a Betty TV Watch be without its sound bites? Here are my top five quotes:
5. Wilhelmina, ushering overzealous stylists out of Alexis' hospital room: ''She's a tranny, not a drag queen.''
4. Betty, on how long it's been since she's written in her diary: ''I'm pretty sure my last entry went something like 'I love Lance Bass. I want to marry him.' ''
3. Marc to Amanda, after she appeared naked on Page Six: ''The whole office is talking about you. I know, they always do, but now it's with envy instead of pity and disgust.''
2. Marc, after Amanda said she'll have to pee on the carpet to get the attention of the press: ''Courtney Love did that before you got here.''
1. The Fashion TV anchor, on the Black and White Ball, which benefits the New York Children's Hospital: ''The clothes will be fabulous, and the kids will be sick.''
What do you think, TV Watchers? What was your favorite line of the night? Will Alexis catch on to Willy's deception? Do we really have to wait until Charlie's 14th week of pregnancy for Henry and Betty to get together? Who is Amanda's real father? And finally, after a hungover Daniel threw up last season after catching a glimpse of Suarez cooking, don't you think Hilda should have refrained from eating in front of a hungover Henry?
