I think this might be my first official Ugly Betty episode reaction post. (I think.) I'm gonna do bullet points because otherwise I'll be all over the place.

→ How happy am I that the whole Natalie bead-people storyline is over. That was starting to get old. (And making Daniel look like a total dumbass!) Good riddance to that. (And is it me but was there a total scientology ribbing there? With the collection of celebrities, etc.)

→ I will never not love Claire and Betty as a team. First, Claire is the total shiz. I would never use that word for anyone other than her. But she SO is. It was cute watching them team up. And Claire is so often the most level-headed person on this show. She shows up and it's like finally somebody with some sense. (Other than Betty of course.)

→ AMANDA! This girl never ceases to amaze me. First her crush on Matt is SO ADORKABLE and it makes me like Matt about 100% more than I usually do. (So he doesn't totally suck usually, but he can be hard to love sometimes.) I am so rooting for these two. And the way she was in that support group with Claire, the two of them burying the hatchet, and then her encouraging Claire to contact her son. So, adorable. And the scene with the pudding. D'aww. Why am I such a sap for this show?

→ Mark and the garden shoes! Too cute. I love him. But, I seriously felt for him when Wilhelmina believed Nico over him. (Niko? IDK.) But I had a feeling Wilhelmina was setting her up. She's not that gullible. And gosh how much more tragic can her life get? Well... at least she has Mark. (Maybe eventually that nice Ted fellow will show back up, single this time!)

→ So, did Betty and Daniel just kiss? I totally think they did! Sure, we didn't see it and she CLAIMED he kissed her on the eye, but she was totally fibbing to save face. They are so hitting us over the hammer with them this season and I for one, am loving it. Especially that last scene. Back to the sweetness that we got in the season premiere. I can't wait to see the way the rest of this season will play out.
