The title of the
Ugly Betty finale is also the title of one of my favorite Madonna songs (not on her
new album, FYI), and it was used to close the episode. It's a fitting tune for this episode, since a lot of the characters were forced to take a proverbial leap of some sort last night — especially Betty.
If the
Gossip Girl finale revealed too much, Ugly Betty left us with a considerable cliffhanger which actually surprised me. Overall I thought the show was really cute, as usual, and I'm sad to see it go.
Look out, world (or just Mode) — Wilhelmina is back. Her Evilness and Marc made a triumphant return to power on this week's
Ugly Betty after
the revelation that she is the mother of an unborn Meade family heir. Again, this entire plot line is so hilariously far-fetched (and just not logical!) that it's always funny to me when they try to explain it to us.
Thanks to the power of wishful thinking, we all got a little bit more of what we wanted last night on
Ugly Betty: Amanda and Marc. Both of them had about a gazillion one-liners and fun moments, making the episode all the more enjoyable.
When I asked yesterday which guy Betty should be with (Gio, Henry, or neither),
Gio won by a landslide — and I was feeling that way, too.
Last week they laid the groundwork to facilitate a psychotic meltdown for Renee on
Ugly Betty, and this week the show really delivered. But by the end, I just felt sorry for the poor girl (and thought she looked really smoking hot in her lavender dress). Meanwhile, the Henry-Betty-Gio triangle came to a bit of a head via a physical confrontation with the boys and a near-death experience for Betty — but ugh, I think she's leaning toward Henry again.
It may come last in my list of rundowns today, but
Ugly Betty came first in my marathon of TV viewing list on Thursday. What better way to kick off the evening than with that eternally upbeat go-getter Betty Suárez. Hopefully you were able to
refresh your Betty memory before last night.
