Some sort of resolution to the Betty-Henry-Gio love triangle!
As cliched as it may be, Ive got to say all that is bound to be totallyfierce.
All right, Ill take that, too!
and one of those short, coolcatch-up videosthe networks been doing lately.
But I suppose I should get back to the episode at hand.
That Horta doesnt lie: This was definitely a Betty-centric episode, in mostly the right ways.
Aptly titledTwenty-Four Candles,the story focused on Ms. Suarezs official foray into her mid-20s.
(I always forget that shes still so young!)
Excitedly raising the roof and shouting, Birthday girl in the house!
But instead, she discovered her worst nightmare: Charlie!
Oh, the perils of technology!
My first instinct is to treat Charlie like the witch she truly is.
Theres no denying all that.
But I loved that this story line set up the sweet birthday date between Betty and Gio.
But Betty keeps pushing him away, and I need to know why.
Granted, the love connection between her and Henry is strong, and theyre uber-cute together.
But theres all that baggage with the baby and Charlie and everything.
hes leaving when the baby is born.
Im still convinced the baby isnt even his.
On the other corner of the triangle, theres a guy whos undeniably, majorly into Betty.
He keeps coming back, even after she consistently shoos him away in a rather rude manner.
Why besides the chiseled body and cute, boyish grin is Henry winning this contest?
Gio knows what Betty dreams about, for goodness sakes!
Hes the real deal.
At least it seems that way right now.
Whats more, Betty really didnt seem too upset that she wound up spending the evening with Gio.
The nasty breakup phone call?
The suicidal trek to the Brooklyn Bridge?
Dare I suggest shes ready to give ol Henry the heave-ho?
Its time, people, for a Gio revolution!
So now, both sisters have secrets on the other.
When he pulled out Daniels see-through underwear Daniel, you naughty boy!
and smelled them, I simply lost it.
And, on that note, isnt Alexis burning and yearning for some lovin too?
I along with all of you TV Watchers, Im sure demand more Justin.
And surely more Amanda.
Before we part ways for the week and its only a week this time, friends!
how about a few of my favorite Betty sound bites?
Is it your hair thinning or when kids ask you about Vietnam?
Theyll pass me around like a collection plate at a Catholic church.
Marc, on Renee and Daniels relationship: Uh, dont look at me.
I dont get straight people.
Who puts what where its all so confusing.
Willy, berating Marc for replacing Renees crazy pills with fat-blocking pills: Marc!
We want her crazy!
Not crazy and thin!
But what do you think, my long-absent TV Watching friends?
Are you just as bored as I am with Claires story line?
Have we hit the breaking point with Henry and Betty?
How do you feel about the nickname Getty?
And, most important, what do you think of Hildas new do?
