Meanwhile, Claire was tearing around with little to do. So she announced plans to start her own magazine. Hot Flash — the most hilarious name for a magazine in history — will cater to women of a certain age like her who aren't ready ''for that ice floe.'' It's nice that Claire is getting another interesting story line. I grew to really love her character over the past year. Most important, though, Judith Light looked fierce in the episode. Seeing her in so many prison jumpsuits lately made me forget what a — don't laugh — cougar she is. When she was lying on her back with her legs kicked up in the air on Daniel's office couch — roar!

The end of the show — with Betty and Henry singing Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock's ''It Takes Two'' — was of course cute. But I'm getting a little bored with their brand of cute, so I'll leave that for all you to gush over on the message boards.

Sadly, Betty fans, this is the last prestrike episode, so I hope you enjoyed it. Until we meet again for the next episode — likely not until next fall, at the earliest! — I leave you with two things: First, a link to everything Willy on YouTube to help you make it through the long months ahead. It's basically the home page on my Internet browser. And second, of course, are this week's Betty sound bites:

· Claire, leaving Daniel to have fun with Renee while she sleeps in the living room: ''Do whatever you like. In prison I learned I can sleep through anything.''

· Renee, between kisses with Daniel: ''Oh, yeah, I actually wanted dinner. But when I saw that fine ass of yours, I thought, 'Who the hell needs chicken?' ''

· Marc, after Amanda practiced singing her song to Gene Simmons: ''I can only hope that one day I will have an illegitimate daughter who'll sing me a song that's that beautiful.''

· Amanda, just being Amanda: ''Betty, are you going to be long? Because calls keep coming in for Daniel, and I'm finding it really hard to concentrate on my personal issues.''

· Willy, telling Christina to keep getting bed rest: ''Now, I don't want you lifting beer kegs or whatever it is you do in your spare time.''

· Willy: ''Don't touch the yogurt, Christina. I don't eat breakfast, but I have it there so I know what I'm depriving myself of.''

· Marc, to Amanda just before she went on stage to sing: ''Except for your voice, you are a great singer.''

· Willy, prodding Christina to stay on her back: ''So, do we feel pregnant yet? Keep those legs up! We don't want anything falling out.''

TV Watchers, I have just a few questions to end this season of Ugly Betty: Any thoughts on what Renee could be hiding? Does the name of Claire's new magazine mean she's still going through menopause? And why does Gio still make deliveries to Mode if owns the sandwich shop?
