On a slightly tangential note, I'm sick of the use of ''bitch'' in Ugly Betty — and everywhere in general. Last night's softball game started with a ''Play ball, bitches!'' Last week, before walking into Mode with Marc, Willy said, ''Let's do this, bitch!'' When Mr. Siriano arrived in the offices, he told everyone, ''Worship me, bitches!'' And just before Amanda sang her tribute to Gene Simmons several episodes back, she started with ''It's Mandy, bitch!'' Britney, what did you start? And why is this continuing on Ugly Betty? I'm over it, bitches.

That said, this was a pretty great episode of Betty, full of heart and emotion. ''You jumped!'' Ignacio told Betty, while making up with her after reacting poorly to her Henry-Gio conundrum. ''And it was okay. I wanted to protect you, but you knew what you wanted to do, and you did it.'' Awwwww, my heart melted. I think the producers were right to get back to the ''heart'' of the show — it melts me every time. Last season's finale was action-packed, and this one was sentiment-packed — with a few cliff-hangers thrown in for good measure. A nice balance, if I do say so myself.

And now for the last time this season: Betty bites! Enjoy:

· Hilda, to Ignacio, who was ironing and fuming about Betty's Gio-Henry debacle: ''You slicing ham with those pants? Papi, that crease cannot get any sharper!''

· Amanda, trying to get Marc to compliment her on her cheerleading outfit: ''Pretend you're a man for a second, and tell me how hot I look.''

· Marc, admiring himself in his cheerleading outfit: ''This is not working for me. I like the V, but it is doing nothing for my bustline.''

· Amanda, to tiny Frenchman Daniel Jr.: ''Do you mind if I dress you up like a doll and put makeup on you?''

· Marc and Amanda, leading a cheer at the softball game: ''We're Mode! We're cool! We'll take your team to school. You're Elle! You smell! Your team can go to hell.''

· Willy, reveling in her good fortune: ''God must truly love us. Just in our time of need, he drops a little French boy into our laps.''

· Ignacio, about Betty's Halloween costume as a child: ''You were baby Madonna! Your sister's idea!''

So, TV Watchers, there's lots to think about this summer. Here's just a sampling: What will Daniel's role be at Meade now that Willy is in charge at Mode? Has Hilda actually found love? And most important, who's Betty going to choose — Gio or Henry?
