Betty contemplates making a personal decision to help her family and finances. But things keep sidetracking her – like the fact that sexy neighbor Jesse (guest star Val Emmich) is suddenly interested in her again. Meanwhile, Daniel tries to hide his tracks as Connor is determined to find out the identity of the mystery man who stole Molly’s heart.

This one’s going to be a good one!

Come and join us at 8/7c!

Post from: Ugly Betty News

Betty is torn between work and home in the wake of a family crisis that finds her at odds with Hilda. Meanwhile, “secret” couples Daniel & Molly and Connor & Wilhelmina try to hide their escalating love connections.

Because of the theme of this week’s show, I’d expect most of the comedy to come from the love quadrangle, with possibly some good quips thrown in by Marc. I suspect, based on the heavily dramatic theme, that this might be the episode ABC submits for Emmys for both America Ferrera and Ana Ortiz. We’ll see.

Note: there is a highly contested local election in my city today. The first few minutes of the episode might be pre-empted for the results, or they may just put the scroll at the bottom of the screen. Even in the worst case, I expect to join the live blog shortly after the episode begins. Most likely, I’ll be there from the start.

Join us, won’t you?

Post from: Ugly Betty News

Betty juggles work and family without much success as she struggles to impress her idol, Jodie Papadakis (guest star Bernadette Peters), the editor running YETI. Things go from bad to worse when she encounters Teri (guest star Nikki Blonsky), an assistant at ELLE magazine, just as the long-running Mode/ELLE rivalry heats up.

I’ve seen a couple of early reviews that say the last few minutes of the episode are not to be missed. Although most of us know (in general) what’s going to happen, I can’t wait. The cast and crew of Ugly Betty are some of the best I’ve ever seen at taking us from comedy to heartbreaking drama on a dime (East Side Story, anyone?).

Join us tonight at 8/7c!

Post from: Ugly Betty News

Competition gets fierce when Betty and Marc both apply to YETI, the Young Editors Training Program that could be their ticket out of assistant-land . . . but there’s only room for one of them. Meanwhile Justin makes an unlikely friend, Daniel finds himself attracted to Molly (guest star Sarah Lafleur) and Wilhelmina does her best to get Connor’s (Grant Bowler) attention.

This will probably be a catty and fierce episode…for a while. Something tells me Marc and Betty are going to end up working together before it’s all over.

I love that they are continuing the love square (rectangle? parallelagram?).

So, join us at 8/7 central tonight!

Post from: Ugly Betty News

Betty finds herself competing with Kimmie (guest star Lindsay Lohan) who finally shows her true colors, and new citizen Ignacio prepares to vote for the first time. Meanwhile Hilda takes advantage of the increased election traffic to promote her shop, and Wilhelmina wants to hire a new financial officer (guest star Grant Bowler) whom Daniel can’t stand.

This will prove to be a doozy. Can’t wait to see Betty “knock her down” !

Look for the transcript after the jump, when available.

In this episode, we’ll get introduced to Mark Consuelos‘ detective character, (it appears) everyone will get arrested, and Papi is going to discover Hilda’s secret that Tony is married.

High comedy, high drama.

As usual, I’ll put the transcript after the jump when available.

A LOT is going to happen tonight (but hopefully, for my recap’s sake, not as much as LAST week’s premiere).

I’ll post the transcript after the jump, when available.

7:02	Daniel had a copy of “the book”

7:03	Diaz and Hilda having a romantic walk along the river – he asks her on a date!

7:04	Alexis is using Daniel’s notes to critique Wily’s work!

7:05	Willy on regular women: Â We should be throwing rocks at them. Â HAHAHAHAHAHA!

7:05	No burrito for you! Â So many great one liners.

7:06	WIlly is trying to hire Betty so she won’t help Daniel get his job back.

7:08	Right now, Betty doesn’t want to do it. Â Her family does, though. Â Justin has gotten much much, er, prissier

7:09	I think the word is actually “prissy-er”

7:09	Daniel’s mad mad mad at Betty!

7:10	Oh, man – big fight between Daniel and Betty.

7:10	Betty takes the bait

7:12	MUCH less busy opening. Â From a live blog/recap point of view, it’s much better. Â A lot of you said you wanted the sotrylines simplified.

7:12	Christina: the Wicked Witch of the East Side.

7:13	Marc and the nose-touching is classic.

7:14	Daniel learns about DJ’s grandparents.

7:14	OMG, I’ve seen this scene before! Â Remember the Youtube reading?

7:16	Oh, no – Betty;s blowing it with the makeup mogul.

7:16	No actually, she did great! Â Now Marc’s mad.

7:17	I love Willy’s “smile”

7:18	I have a confession. Â I kind of LIKE this whole Betty working for Wilhelmina thing. Â It’s like Angel and Devil. Â

7:20	[Comment From slighthope] This episode is hilarious

7:20	THe pacing has been perfect.

7:21	Willy sends Betty on a goher run for some very unusual items.

7:22	Daniel is VERY good in the DJ scenes. Â

7:22	[Comment From serena] woo Daniel + Sweat pants = sexxxxxxxxy

7:23	I like that CHristina’s in this eppy a little more.

7:24	Betty got the tiara!

7:25	Betty’s doing the Botox!

7:26	Betty..you passed…the test…

7:26	Like one of you said, Betty is Wanda!

7:27	For those of you don’t remember, Wanda was Wilhelmina when she was a young rube.

7:27	[Comment From Sarah] I told you!

7:28	I wish Betty had actually fone the injections, though.

7:28

Er, done.

7:29	Wow, I know y’all might be getting tired of hearing this, but I can’t get over how linear the story lines are. Â I’m so used to things jumping around, it’s hard to get used to.

7:31	EMHE – if that show doesn’t bring tears, you have no heart.

7:31	[Comment From Sarah] I rather like it. The jumpiness was a big turn off in Jump and the S3 premiere. It felt too congested.

7:32	Sorceress! Â Marc is great as a catty co-worker.

7:32	Hush little homo OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:33	OMG Marc is almost drooling.

7:34	Betty finds out Diaz has a wife.

7:35	[Comment From Sarah] I really, really don’t like the Hilda/Diaz storyline. Hilda deserves some happiness…

7:36	Heavy sibling drama. Â Hilda admits she’s in love with Tony. Â This will be heartbreak.

7:37	At least they had a scene in Betty’s apartment. Â This doesn’t seem like an episde Jesse will be in. Â

7:37	My guess: Betty’s going to tell Ignacio, then…watch out!

7:38	Still can’t get over Amanda’s lullaby. Â Few shows could get away with that.

7:41	Daniel drops DJ at school – neat scene.

7:42	Helium! Â That was unexpected.

7:44	Dream sequence! Â Betty-mina!

7:44	She’s got Vanessa Williams down pat!

7:44	[Comment From Sarah] She gets a Willie name!

7:44	[Comment From Sarah] Poor Daniel… lol!

7:44	That was the best VW imitation I’ve ever seen.

7:44	[Comment From Sarah] NOT THE PUPPY! hahaha!

7:46	Daniel admits he’d like to be back at Mode.

7:47	Rush Limbaugh fornicated with Amy Winehouse..heh.

7:49	Stuart is mad – I wonder if Christina is jumping to conclusions. Â It’ll be bad is Stuart is really sick. Â … Nah…

7:52	[Comment From Sarah] I’ve though Stuart was lying since day 1. All to scam more $$ from Christina.

7:52	[Comment From serena] Stuart looks violent :-S

7:53	Dj wants to stay with Daniel!

7:54	Betty quits! Â Good for her.

7:55	OOOOO this party is about to get VERY interesting!

7:55	Oh, man, Hilda. Â Bad, Bad, Bad.

7:56	Alexis demotes Willly!

7:56	[Comment From slighthope] OMG, who pushed Christina down the stairs?! =O

7:57	Marc did the right thing. Â Kewl.

7:57	Down goes Willy! Â Down goes WIlly!

7:57	[Comment From serena] I think Marc just pulled a Chuck Bass. I’m just sayin’

7:59	[Comment From Sarah] So… Lemme see… Jump was just totally nullified in two episodes. Nice.

8:00	Christina down the stairs. Â We’re supposed t think it was Claire, but I think it was Alexis.

Last week,we even had some west coasters (and someone from England) drop by to get spoilers (they just couldn’t wait!)

So, join us – I’ll be starting the live blog right before 8pm EDT.

Transcript, when available, after the jump.

Post from: Ugly Betty News

Betty, still missing Henry, fights her attraction to Gio, but later finds herself stuck with him when both volunteer to chaperone Justin’s middle school dance. Meanwhile, Hilda tries to get Coach Diaz (guest star Eddie Cibrian) to notice her; Amanda agrees to do a reality show with her dad, KISS rock legend Gene Simmons; and Daniel feels the heat when Wilhelmina makes her triumphant return to Mode amid a media frenzy.

Not only do we have the return of Gene Simmons, but we get to see “Little” Daniel, Gio, Betty and Amanda, and coach Diaz is back. Not to mention the over-the-top return of Wilhelmina and Marc.

I can’t wait – I’ll be firing up the live blog right before 8pm EDT. I’ll put a transcript after the jump when we’re done!
