What Was Your Favorite Part of Ugly Betty Episode 2.02?
There were so many great moments in this last episode of Ugly Betty (”Family Affairs“), that it was very difficult to fit them into a poll. The writers of the show have really hit their stride, and the one-liners were too numerous to include them all. But here are my favorite moments from last night’s show:
- When Bradford postpones the wedding, Wilhemina keeps her cool. He asks her if she’s sure she’s all right. Wlhelmina says everything’s fine, but as she does so the flames in the fireplace rise. She then proceeds to bash the mannequins on the roof with a baseball bat!
- Justin telling his mother about the Mode Cafeteria, and their famous “Naomi Campbell Tuna Meltdown”.
- Alexis, suffering from amnesia, but now aware that she had gone through a sex change, squeezing her own boobs and giving Daniel/Betty an approving thumbs up.
- “I can’t believe we’re in Lucifer’s chamber…Beelzebub’s lair…the devil’s rumpus room…Oh, look! A picture of Wilhelmina with Dick Cheney!” (Cut to a photo of just that).
- My absolute favorite was the sublime moment when Wilhemina is confronting Betty on the roof, she says, “I think you forgot something!”, and we hear thunder. Betty looks to the perfectly blue sky in puzzlement, then turns to see Marc wiggling a piece of sheet metal to make a thunder sound. It was so silly and out of place, it was perfect for this show. I’m still laughing about it a day later!
There were a few more honorable mentions: Betty telling Henry, “We were young and innocent then. Ah, youth!” . Betty sarcastically saying “Down with babies!”, and a mother looking aghast at her. Christina: “Ten bucks says there’s a coat in there made of dalmatian puppies”. Betty and Christina hiding under the bed while Wilhelmina and Dwayne have an “Afternoon Delight”. Betty texting (somebody) saying”I have to pee”.
Every single scene with Halston, the ugly dog.
There were touching moments as well: Justin at the convenience store where his father was killed, Ignacio helping Hilda to let go of Santos’ stuff, Bradford reconnecting with Alexis.
But, we’ll stick with the comedy. What, to you, was the best (funniest) moment in the episode?














I thought the buffet table scene was hilarious. “Down with babies” was funny too.
