Episode 6 - Trust, Lust and Must

Ignacio needs to pay a lawyer money to avoid being deported so Betty starts selling Herbalux at work. This goes about as well as you would imagine: with Hilda's help, she makes a total killing selling the product to the weight-obsessed Mode staffers, but Wil shuts the little side business down. Wil also gives Betty the money to pay the retainer, in exchange for a favour to be named later. Betty realises that this is bound to end in her being forced to screw over Daniel, and gives the money back. Luckily, Hilda has made friends with Debi Mazar, playing sassy Queens lawyer Leah Stilman - which will probably come in handy in the future.

Speaking of Ignacio, he and Betty have it out, because she feels betrayed by the whole lying about being in the country legally thing. She eventually apologizes and tells him that he doesn't owe her an explanation but he gives her one anyway, and it's a doozy: apparently, Hilda and Betty's mother was first married to a rich but abusive man in Mexico, and Ignacio was their chef. Ignacio eventually murdered the abusive first husband and he and the girls' mother ran off to the United States. He never applied for amnesty or a green card because of he's a murderer!

Daniel falls in instant lust with a mysterious beauty he sees in the Mode lobby (guest star Salma Hayek) and asks for Betty's help in finding out the lady's identity. She turns out to be a best-selling author and a high-powered new editor at Meade, who is shamelessly manipulating Daniel and also about a hundred and ninety-six percent smarter than he is. Daniel's is having very bad luck with the ladies. When he continues to treat poor Amanda like crap, she confesses that she hates being his booty call, and breaks it off with him.

As for Wil, she's got her hands full with Nico, who's decided that she wants to go to school in New York instead of Paris, and who also decides to do a whole lot of acting out to get her mother's attention. It doesn't work because Nico simply can't outsmart Wil, but it does work in the sense that Wil has some second thoughts about the way she's parenting her child. Does this mean we will see Nico again?

On the Fey Sommer Mystery Tour it's Fey's birthday, and guess what happens? She reappears, just in time for Bradford to catch a glimpse of her hanging around her tomb.

I would love to know where the tiled floor from this episode is as there are a few of us who would love to try to reproduce it as a quilt.

I so agree with solange_808. I had high expectations for Ugly Betty, but it failed to measure up. The plot lines are very relaxed and not much really happens.
