I just wanna get right to it. SPOILER ALERT for season 1 and season 2!
This season started on a fake out. What? You’re telling me Santos didn’t die? Where was the gun pointed?! This is disappointing… (I actually felt let down because he wasn’t dead! I just thought that if he wasn’t, it would’ve been a lot of emotional buildup in the finale for nothing) but he was dead. Him being there for the first episode was the show’s way of saying goodbye. And that was nice.
Now let’s jump to the very end of this season. The season finale where I’m very disappointed with a lot of people. Alexis made Willie the editor and chief and Daniel got bumped down to a lesser job. And Hilda’s dating a married man. I don’t care if she’s sad and alone and he’s attractive. What’s wrong with you?!
Ahem. Well, in other love story news, Henry and Betty got together in this season and were a cute couple (yay! My shipper heart!) for a few episodes until the baby was born and he moved back to Tucson (boo! T_T).
I honestly wasn’t expecting the baby to be his. Darn you, writers. You wouldn’t even let them enjoy Wicked. Or Rudolph! You didn’t make their relationship easy. But I guess that’s one sign it wasn’t gonna work.
Also, a love triangle happened. Gio’s nice but I don’t think Betty liked him like that. This season ended on a cliffhanger, but a predictable cliffhanger, I think. Right before Betty makes her decision, she has a dream about both guys and what her life would be like with
them. And as sad as I am to admit that a long distance relationship (or marriage) wouldn’t work for them, Betty would rather jump off a roof in her dream than pick one of them. That’s not a good sign. I think the trip she was packing for was some ‘finding yourself’ journey. Get away from guys for a while. No Greece, no Tucson, no NY. Bye, Benry, I’ll miss you and your awkward silences and habit of adjusting your glasses. (What would that be called?)
Betty doesn’t get a break from relationships ever, it seems. First, it was Walter, then it was Henry, now it’s Gio, soon it’ll be Daniel. This girl needs a break. I swear. No boys for a while, Betty. Gosh, just, no boys. Please? But yeah, I can still see Daniel and Betty being a thing. They had one episode where he thought she loved him and it was pretty funny, but eventually! It’ll happen! Baniel/Detty will be a thing that exists. Soon. Not now. But soon. I’m putting my (imaginary) money on this. I see it coming, my dad saw it coming from the very beginning. It will happen. The episode where he thought she loved him was played off as a joke because it doesn’t feel right, ATM. We’re just not there yet.
I don’t know if I’m anticipating that relationship because I want it to be over with, or I actually see them working as a couple?? Not sure how I feel about it yet. We’ll get there. Season 4. That’s my guess. Season 3 finale will be him warming up to the idea and realizing he kinda likes her. Then Betty will come along soon after.
And can I just say I’m a freaking psychic!? I didn’t talk about it much last time, but I predicted all that Henry baby drama before Charlie’s face was even shown!
That was my theory when they introduced Charlie: Henry and Charlie have a child and they got back together because of that. Then after a butt load of drama, Betty would come to understand the situation because her family knows about [pregnancy scares], but she’d still try to pursue Henry.
That’s basically what happened. Either I’m psychic, or I watch too much TV and I’m too familiar with the formula.
And Marc got a boyfriend! Oh my god, the relationships, people! I’m glad he dated a normal person. Cliff wasn’t around that much at the end so I don’t know if they’re still together, but hey. At least it happened. It gave him something else to focus on instead of evil soap opera plans.
Like, really? Yeah, just give birth to Bradford’s baby to gain control of the company, Willie. That’s great. And bring poor, desperate Christina into it too. That won’t make me hate you.
Speaking of which, Christina’s husband from Scotland finally showed up. And he’s dying. Of course, he is. And the surgery he needs is too expensive. Of course, it is. I’m kinda sad now…what’s a good thing that happened?
Oh! Betty’s dad became a citizen. That’s good. And Mrs. Meade got a magazine. I’m glad she’s important in the story now that she isn’t going to prison. I like her magazine idea and she seems to be good at “Mode”. Thumbs up for the parents this season.
Except Willie! I hope your evil plan doesn’t work! The only good thing that came out of that is Marc being at “Mode” again. Now he’s around Amanda all the time once more. They’re mean, but I like them. And it was sweet how Amanda came to terms with not knowing her father and realized Marc was her family.
Though, one thing I don’t like about that storyline: Amanda is Fey’s daughter (and thank god she wasn’t Bradford’s too. That would’ve been gross. Daniel flirting with Alexis when they first met I can come to terms with, but Amanda and Daniel being related would’ve been too far) But she had adopted parents. When she found this out, she acted like she was an orphan! Her biological mother is dead and she doesn’t know her father, sure. But did she not keep in mind the people who raised and loved her?
I know Christina will have problems involving not only her pregnancy but having the baby and giving it away. We know she’ll bond with the baby in a heartbeat. (That kid better be raised right, I swear. We’ve seen how Willie is with her child, so I’m nervous.) I feel really bad for Christina this season…
And…Daniel had girl problems again. His apartment and Betty almost got burned down because of it. Yikes! And we learned he has a son. I’m excited to see that in the next season. I’m looking forward to seeing him be a father and get to know Daniél Jr. Plus he’ll have to learn some French.
And to end this, here is my list of…
RANDOM THOUGHTS ON SEASON 2:
Where did she get this B necklace? Her mom?
Betty’s fashion sense has gotten better, and not that I think she shouldn’t be herself and whatnot, but why doesn’t Betty wear like, suits and stuff to work? She’s too casual. She’s gotten better since season 1 but some of the things she wears don’t make sense for a fancy magazine job. I meant to mention this before but that season 1 post was just too long.
I don’t know if I’m crazy or not, but halfway through the season, did they get a better camera or something? Everything looked clearer. Maybe it was my TV, I dunno.
Not sure which season I like more.
Betty inspired a “real girls runway” which would never happen in real life and people would hate it but oh, well. Message, people, it’s a message.
I was so worried in the beginning Henry wasn’t gonna be around that long, but then when I saw this season’s poster I thought, “But he’s on the poster. If he wasn’t a big part of the story, they wouldn’t put him in front of Daniel’s parents, right?!”
Poor Bradford… ;(
