Full recap of Ugly Betty season 2, episode 7: “A Nice Day For a Posh Wedding”.

At the Suarez House:  Justin is watching FashionTV in the living room.  Ignacio asks Justin why he isn’t getting ready for school.  Justin says “It’s the countdown to the BradaMina wedding; it’s a national holiday!”Ignacio walks into Betty’s room and tells the lump of covers that breakfast is ready (blueberry pancakes).  He leaves, and Hilda then emerges from beneath the covers, crawls out Betty’s window, into her own window, just in time for Ignacio to tell her that breakfast is ready.  She mistakenly says “I love blueberry pancakes!” – even though he hasn’t told HER.  when Ignacio questions her on this, she tells him that he’s getting old.  He remembers that Canadian bacon is the only thing that consoled Betty when Joey Lawrence got kicked off Dancing With The Stars, and leaves the room.

Hilda rushes back out the window to Betty’s room and hides under the covers – Ignacio walks.  As he is telling “Betty” about the Canadian bacon, the real Betty crawls in the window.

Ignacio is furious with Betty.  He is angry that she lied to him, and that she is in the middle of a relationship that will break her heart.  Henry says that she loves Henry; Ignacio accuses her of talking like a silly 13 year old girl.  He attempts to give Betty an ultimatum.  This enrages Betty.  She storms to her room to pack her bags and move out.  The entire time, Justin is moving from room to room, watching FashionTV, but the argument keeps following him.  As she is leaving, Betty tells Hilda about her agreement with Wilhelmina to acquire Ignacio’s visa.

Later, Ignacio is preparing for his citizenship ceremony.  He is upset that Betty will not even call him on his big day.  Hilda then tells Ignacio about what Betty did for him, getting him back from Mexico.

At Mode: Marc is going insane planning Wilhelmina’s wedding.  Cliff walks in and asks if Marc knows where his old brown blazer is.  Marc is annoyed and asks why.  Cliff says he is going to wear it to the wedding.  Marc begs him not to; he says, “This wedding is so fancy, Armani is wearing Prada”.  Cliff reminds Marc that he’s got Rosie O’Donnell seated next to Elizabeth Hasslebeck. Marc tells Cliff to wear whatever he wants, there are too many other things to worry about.

Bradford and Alexis are having bloody marys.  Bradford is congratulating Alexis on scoring big ad sales; Daniel mentions his own sale to Winthrop Jewelry – Bradford says yes, they bought an 8^th of a page in March (to the surprise of Daniel).  Bradford asks Alexis to stand with him at the wedding; this upsets Daniel because he previously was set to be best man.  Alexis tries to make peace.  They fight, and Daniel leaves.

Wilhelmina watches the coverage of Victoria Beckham’s arrival on Fashion TV.  She is quite annoyed that Posh is getting all of the attention.  In the interview, Posh says, “Wilhelmina and I go way back – she’s practically my second mom”).  She then hawks her new sports drink.  This enrages Wilhelmina.  She tells Marc that even her attempts to destroy Mode are off track with “Danny and the tranny” selling all that advertising.

Amanda is looking at newspaper reports about the wedding, noticing that all the A-listers will be there.  She is upset that she isn’t even mentioned.  She tells Marc that they are wasting her 15 minutes of fame; she wants to launch a singing career and end up in rehab.  She tells Marc that if he doesn’t concentrate on her, she’ll “twist his nipples off with a wrench”.  As he leaves, Stuart, Christina’s estranged husband approaches the desk.  Amanda say, “You talk just like somebody I know…don’t tell me…”

Cut to Christina; Betty is complaining about her father to her.   Christina sees Stuart, and grabs Betty, pulling her into Fey’s love dungeon to hide.  Christina tells Betty that she had run away from Stuart in Scotland.  She said she went out for dog food and never came back.  Betty says, “You have a husband and a secret sex room?  You have a dog? I don’t even know you…”

Wilhelmina reveals her wedding dress to the entourage.  Vera Wang looks at it and says “Damn, I’m good.”  As everyone fawns over Wilhelmina and  the dress, Victoria Beckham emerges and models her dress.  All attention is diverted to Beckham.  Vera Wang says, “I have a new muse”.  She even gives Beckham a Booty Bop.  This enrages Wilhelmina.  She kicks Wang out of the room, then changes Beckham’s dress to be frumpy, with flats.

Betty tells Daniel that she has moved out.  Both of them then simultaneously begin to complain about their families.  Both of them decide “not to go”:  Daniel, to the wedding, Betty to Ignacio’s citizenship ceremony.  As she leaves, she runs into Henry, who tells her that she needs to move in with him instead of Christina. 

Christina and Stuart are sitting together, “catching up”.  He tells her he’s trying to make amends for the past; apparently he was a horrible, mostly drunk husband.  They hold hands and agree to be friends again.

Later she wakes up in the bed in Fey’s love dungeon;  Stuart is in bed with her.  They have obviously “made up”.  Christina says she had forgotten about “good Stuart”.  As he goes to the bathroom, Christina finds a syringe amongst his things.  She confronts Stuart; he tells her he is sick, that the drinking has made him fatally ill.  His liver is failing, and he will die without a very expensive treatment ($100K).  Christina vows to help him get the money, somehow.

At Henry’s apartment:  Betty is obviously uncomfortable, moving in with Henry.  They start to make a few plans; Christmas, Valentines.    Betty says “Hall and Oates are coming to town in April”.  They then remember that by April, Henry will be back in Tuscon.  She then goes to unpack her stuff in the bathroom, only to discover she’s walked into the closet.

Later, they wake in Henry’s bed.  Betty’s cell phone rings; it’s Ignacio.  She does not answer.  She tells Henry that she’d like to go with him to the New York Transit Museum.  He’s excited, but thinks she should go to her father’s ceremony.  But, Betty insists.

Betty and Henry arrive at Mode, looking for her coupon to the Transit Museum.  They see someone rummaging through Wilhelmina’s office.  They enter to find Daniel.  He is looking for proof of the affair with Dewayne.          

Betty is alone with Daniel, while Henry sits at her desk.  He sees her screensaver and realizes how much she loves her family.  In the meantime, Daniel asks Betty if there’s anything she knows that can help him; she denies it.  She does try to get him to confront his father, but she doesn’t tell him what she knows.  Daniel decides to go to the wedding so he can get information from DeWayne.      

Later, Henry takes Betty to the immigration office, but Betty doesn’t want to go in.  Henry insists, and Betty finally gives in.  As Ignacio is saying his oath, Betty walks in.  He tears up.

After the ceremony, they “make up”, and Ignacio thanks Betty for helping him with his visa (Hilda told).  They agree that Betty should move back home.    He tells her that she doesn’t have to keep Wilhelmina’s secret anymore, because he’s now a citizen, and there’s nothing she can do about it.  

At Wilhelmina’s hotel room: Wilhelmina wakes next to Dewayne, on her wedding day, no less. She turns on the television, and sees that Victoria Beckham had caused quite a stir the night before, wearing her Maid of Honor gown for a night on the town (complete with table dancing).  Wilhelmina seethes. (They announce a ticker tape parade for VB)

Daniel comes to the door, looking for his father.  Since he is not there, he gives a small box to Wilhelmina and tells her he won’t be attending the wedding.  He then hears a noise in the bathroom and asked who it is.  Wilhelmina lies and says “Posh”.  But, as Dewayne leaves, Daniel sees him.

At the church: Amanda is roaming the crowd outside, announcing who she is.  No one seems to care.  Marc is nervous because Cliff ahs not arrived yet.  Cliff arrives, looking very cleaned up and suave.  Both Amanda and Marc fawn over him.  Cliff says his shoes hurt him.  Marc says, “Beauty is pain..and you are hurtin’ me bad…”.

Later Marc gets jealous because Cliff seems to be getting a lot of attention.  Marc waves him over, Cliff gives him the “just one second finger”.  This enrages Marc.  He confronts Cliff, then breaks up with him.  Later, Marc is drowning his sorrows with Amanda, and realizes he still likes Cliff.  He realizes that he is now “an average man-lover”, to his own astonishment.  Amanda tells him to do something dramatic to get back together with Cliff.  As she is screaming “CLIFF!”, he arrives.  Marc goes to talk to him.

Daniel approaches Dewayne.  As he is asking about the relationship, Wilhelmina arrives.  She says nothing is going on, and even if it ways, Daniel has no proof.

As Wilhelmina is walking to the sanctuary, the wedding aide tells her that Posh is missing.  We then find out that Dewayne had locked her in the custodian’s closet. Wilhelmina walks down the aisle, absolutely stunning in her dress.  Daniel glares at her.  As the ceremony begins, Betty barges in and yells, “I object!”

Daniel talks to Betty about it outside the sanctuary.  She tries to get Daniel to stop the wedding, but Daniel presses Betty for more details.  Betty then tells all that she knows.  Daniel realizes that Betty has betrayed him; he fires her.

Back inside the sanctuary, the vows are being exchanged when Daniel walks up and tells Bradford he must speak to him right now.  They leave the sanctuary.  Wilhelmina, in the awkward moment afterward looks at Marc and says “Do something”.  He gets up and announces  that Amanda is going to sing. He whispers to her that Quincy Jones is in the fourth row, and this is her big chance.

She gets in front of the crowd, uncertain of what to do.  She then starts singing “Milkshake”, the insanely over-the-top sexual song by Kelis.

Meanwhile, Daniel is confronting his father.  He tells him everything about Wilhelmina.  Bradford doesn’t believe him and walks back to complete the ceremony.

Cut back to the sanctuary, where Amanda is holding forth.  The organ is now playing along, and Amanda has the crowd in her hands.  She sings/raps: “Damn right! It’s better than yours!” It is truly a sublime moment.

Bradford returns; they continue the ceremony, but Bradford collapses, obviously from a heart attack.  Wilhelmina beats his chest, screaming “Don’t you die! Don’t you dare die!”  Daniel begins CPR.

The song “Hallelujah” plays as Daniel tries to save his father, broadcast for the world to see.  Betty sees this in Times Square.  The episode ends.
