New Poll: Wilhelmia and the Young Doctor

by Tom on November 17th, 2007

At the end of Ugly Betty episode 2.08 (I See Me, ICU), Wilhelmina is seen standing over Bradford’s covered body in the morgue.  She is speaking to a young doctor, strapped with debt from student loans.  She wants to make a deal with him, but it is left as a cliffhanger just exactly what she wants.

Now, Wilhelmina is pretty evil, but messing with a dead body is awfully lowdown, even for her.  So, I have to wonder: what could she possibly want? There are a few things that come immediately to mind:

• She wants the doctor to extract Bradford’s sperm, presumably to have his child.  My opinion, this is pretty unrealistic, even for Ugly Betty.  There are two problems I see with this: those little boys don’t live very long, and Wilhelmina is pretty darned near the edge of childbearing age (although a pregnant Willy would be hilarious)
• She wants his DNA, probably to “prove” something.  Maybe she suspects that one of the Meade siblings is not in fact Bradford’s child?  I kind of shy away from this one, too, because her minion Marc already has Bradford’s DNA.
• She wants him to lie and say he witnessed the wedding.  I think this is most likely, although there will be problems with that, too.  Bradford told Betty that he “came to his senses” concerning Wilhelmina, but SHE doesn’t yet know it. 

Knowing Ugly Betty, none of these seems quite “right” to me.  I’m curious what you think.  I’ve set up a poll about it:

Leave your ideas in the comments - if you think it’s something else, especially. It’ll be interesting to see what it turns out to be, that’s for sure.
