Full recap of Ugly Betty season 2, episode 6: “Something Wicked This Way Comes”.

Opening 

Betty sneaks down the stairs toward the door of the Suarez house.  As she opens the door, Ignacio surprises her saying “Hey!”, and Betty quickly replies “I’m not going anywhere!”  Ignacio rushes Betty into the kitchen; they are having a surprise “congratulations” party to celebrate Hilda’s first week at the beauty Salon.  Betty says she was going to the movies - Ignacio thinks she means “alone”.  They surprise Hilda, but she tries to brush off all the attention.  She says she doesn’t like to be the center of attention (as she takes off her jacket to reveal a tight “freshly squeezed” tank top).

Betty tries to sneak out again - and they all attempt to join her to keep her from being lonely.  Betty yells “NO!”, and says they should stay home for dinner.  She sneaks outside to inform Henry. He says he overheard (she has a loud family).  He reminds her that everyone she knows is trying to keep her from being alone, preventing them from seeing each other.  He asks if it wouldn’t be better telling everyone the truth.  Betty says “No”, she doesn’t want everyone to call her out for doing something very stupid. 

The start to share a secret kiss, but she gets called from inside - Betty pushes Henry and he falls off the stoop.  She apologises and goes inside.

Christina is inventorying the new swimwear arrivals for the spring  preview issue, decrying the fact that “summer is not going to be kind to the big girls”.  Betty is distracted.  She asks Christina if she ever secretly, really wanted a “drink” even though everyone warned her about drinking.  Christina thinks Betty is talking about her, so Betty changes the subject to “donuts”.  At this time, Henry walks in to talk to Christina.  Betty and Henry glance at each other romantically.  After he leaves, Christiana says “Oh my God, He’s your donuts!” 

Christina reminds her of all the things that are wrong with the relationship.  At the same time, she’s says,”It’s also hot!”  Chrsitina then tells Betty that she will be her cover for the night, but that Betty has to “take that donut, and bite it, and put it in your coffee, and get it hot, and warm, and wet, and bite into it again, and oh, God, I need a drink!” Betty replies, “I need a donut!” (Best exchange of this episode).

Bradford is yelling at Daniel, telling him what he SHOULD have done with Atlantic Attire.  Alexis tries to play peacemaker, and suggests they work on getting advertising for the next issue.  Daniel says he has some contacts, but Bradford tells him to let Alexis handle it.

Wilhelmina/Marc/Cliff/Amanda

Amanda is going to gossip with Marc, but he tells her he can’t have fun right now, he has a crisis: Wilhelmina’s daughter Nico is not coming to the wedding.  Marc has to give the bad news.  Amanda says she’ll be there for him “No matter what”.  Wilhelmina walks in saying, “somebody is going to get fired today”, and Amanda rushes out of the room.  Wilhelmina tells Marc that she over-dieted and lost too much weight to fit in her wedding dress.  She said that Vera Wang told her there wasn’t enough time to alter the boning.  Marc replies, “Oh, what does WANG know about BONING anyway?”

Wilhelmina is eating a hero sandwich to try to gain weight.  Betty passes by, eating.  Wilhelmina says “Look at her, she makes it seem so easy”.  Marc then tells her about Nico being bit by her pet monkey and not being able to make it to the wedding.  Nico was going to be her maid of honor.  Wilhelmina says that it’s just one of many problems she has with the wedding.  She shows Marc that her “ebony and ivory” chocolates are “segregated.  Then there is this exchange between them:  W: “What do we want?”M:”Integrated chocolates!”  W: “When do we want them” M: “Now!”  She says she’ll have to do everything herself. 

Marc is trying to get Amanda to hide her dog from Wilhelmina  Cliff walks up, and Marc grabs a shoe, and trows it for Halston to chase, so Amanda will leave.  He tries to rush Cliff out the door.  Cliff complains that they never “go out”.  They make a date.  Cliff starts to kiss Marc, but he stops him.  Marc says, “You know the fashion world; so homophobic!’ 

Marc suggests he stay with Wilhelmina to help her get everything planned.  He calls Cliff and breaks their date with the excuse that Wilhelmina is making him stay late.   Later, Wilhelmina is eating a drumstick, while Marc helps her plan the wedding.  Cliff arrives with fancy takeout - Wilhelmina thins it’s for her and takes it.  Amanda walks up, Marc will not introduce Cliff as his boyfriend.  This enrages Cliff, and he breaks up with Marc.

Amanda rushes Marc to the ladies room and confronts him about dating Cliff (not being his type and all).  Marc tells her how conflicted he is, because he’s never dated someone like Cliff, but really likes him.  He says he doesn’t want to end up sad and alone, like Wilhelmina.  He tells Amanda that Nico made up the monkey excuse because she simply doesn’t like her mother.  At this time, Wilhelmina flushes a toilet and steps out of a stall.  She silently washes her hands and walks out.  Marc walks into her office with pork rinds.  She tells Marc to go home.  She is upset about Nico.  She has to replace her as maid of honor, so she calls Victoria Beckham.  She also asks Marc who he is bringing to the wedding (he gets a +1).  Marc then calls Cliff to apologise, apparently to ask him to come to the wedding with him.

Betty/Henry/Gio/Daniel

Betty is texting Henry, and runs into Gio.  He tells her about his new sandwich Kiosk he’s going to open in the lobby.  He gives her some fliers.  Betty tries to give him suggestions for better fliers, (she suggest “Hero Worship” with a picture of a sandwich flexing his muscle); Gio says he’s already printed a thousand fliers.  Daniel walks in and tells Betty about the horrible meeting with his father and Alexis.    Daniel tells her he has a plan to get advertising himself, using his own contacts.

 Betty comes to see Henry at his cubicle, with a business pretext.  The sneak under his desk to talk.  Betty says that they should go on a real date that night, to go see “Wicked”, and then “maybe, afterward, the date could continue…”  At this time, Daniel walks up.  He lectures her about getting entangled with him again.  Daniel says that if she were seeing Henry, he’d “have to get rid of him”, which Betty mistakes for threatening murder. He meant fire him.

Betty attempts to get tickets to Wicked, but they are sold out.  She tells the operator that it’s really important to her office romance, when Daniel walks up.   Betty says she is not dating Henry.  “I am dating…HIM!” She points to Gio who is walking by.  She flexes her muscle at him and smiles.  Later, Daniel walks in and presents Betty with a sandwich.  Inside is the ad for Wicked.  Daniel got Betty and Gio tickets for the show.

Daniel meets with people from Prada to sell advertising.  Betty asks if the tickets had come in yet, and Daniel says he gave them to Gio.  Gio insists that if he’s going to play Betty’s boyfriend, she has to tell him the whole story before he’ll give her the ticket.  Betty tells him all.  She calls him a “very rude fake boyfriend”.  Gio only gives her one ticket and holds onto the other.  Betty is angry, and gives him back her ticket.  Betty then runs into Amanda and compliments her sweater.  Amanda starts to return the favor, but can’t find anything in Betty to compliment.  Betty asks Amanda if she can get her more tickets to Wicked. Amanda says she’ll do it if Betty walks Halston for a month - in her bathing suit.

Becks (the photographer) is coming on to swimsuit models.  He tells Daniel that this year the summer will be “kind to the big girls” (meaning big breasted).  Daniel tells Becks that all of his attempts to sell advertising have failed.  Becks suggests to Daniel that he should seduce Sandra Winthrop (from Winthrop Jewelry)to get her advertising.  “Over 50, and foxy!”, he says. 

At the theater, Betty arrives with Henry, excited.  He holds her hand, because “we don’t know anybody here”.  They then see Gio, who has arrived with his little sister, Antonella..  She insults Betty, then they turn and see Daniel arriving with Sandra Winthrop.  They quickly decide that Betty should sit with Gio, and Antonella with Henry. (Because Daniel will fire Henry if he is dating Betty).  Daniel tells Betty that their seats are right next to each other.  During the show, Betty send romantic text messages to Henry.  Gio tells Betty that it appears that Daniel is seducing Sandra.  Betty then lectures Daniel about this. 

Gio puts his arm around Betty to make a good show of things, but this enrages Henry.  They meet in the lobby, and argue.  Henry leaves Betty in the lobby.  During a beautiful song, he rejoins her in the lobby.  At this time, Daniel walks around the corner with Sandra.  Betty and Henry run to hide somewhere.  They end up backstage.  Daniel and Sandra go into the coat room for a tryst.  Daniel sees Betty’s coat and decides that he can’t go through with the seduction.  He then gives Sandra his best sales pitch, and she, impressed,  says her people will call him in the morning.  He then tries to continue the seduction, but she turns him down because he’s “too smart” (irony). 

Betty and Henry end up in a large prop, kissing.  At this time, it rises and goes on stage, with them on it, ruining the performance.  Betty and Henry get kicked out and banned for life.  As they are leaving, Betty rushes back in to get her purse and coat.  Daniel confronts her, and calls the relationship “stupid”.  Betty is devastated - when Henry hails a cab for them, she leaves him there.  She goes home to Hilda, who calls her “stupid”, but for NOT savoring every moment with Henry (remembering Santos).  Hilda tells her to “go, the clock is ticking!”

Betty arrives at Henry’s apartment; they have a silent, romantic moment, and she comes into his apartment as “Gravity” plays in the background.  They kiss, and close the door.

The Suarezes

Justin is meeting with his friends, they are trading Broadway playbills.  One of the boys tells Justin that his dad saw Hilda at a Hooters-style restaurant called Hi-Beems, working as a waitress.  He shows a camera video.  Hilda comes home, and Justin is waiting for her.  He asks her how work went, and lies to her about hearing that Madonna was at the salon.  Hilda says she saw her, and Justin calls her on her lie.  He shows her the video.  Hilda explains that she had gotten fired, but didn’t want to tell the family.  The job she got fired from was the only stylist’s offer she had, and they needed the money, so she went to work at Hi-Beems. 

Later, after Hilda talks to Betty about the Henry relationship, she comes downstairs and Justin grabs her and takes her to the kitchen. They surprise her with a new styling chair they bought for her to start her own salon.”The Sweet Hair-After”.
