Review: Last season, we were left with some cliffhangers when it came to Ugly Betty. Betty needed to choose to marry Henry or go to Rome with Gio. The hot coach needed to choose between Hilda and his wife and we all needed to know what would happen with Daniel’s new son and the future of Mode. With Rebecca Romijn taking a step back from her role as Alexis and now waiting to give birth to twins, this decision will probably be the first and fastest made. Have you seen Rebecca Romin lately? She is as big as a house.

However, we learn that Betty has made some decisions about her life. She turned down both men, and then went on a trip across the country.  We start the season with her return. She has some plans for her life, including moving into an apartment in the city. Her father is working at a burger joint with a former classmate of Betty. This doesn’t look good for Betty’s dad. There have also been changes at Mode.

Wilhemina has taken over Mode magazine, turned Daniel’s office into a nursery, and sent Daniel down to Player Magazine, which is the 3rd best selling men’s magazine in the country, and the magazine is totally different than Mode. As for Mode, Alexis decides to cut them off and to focus on Hot Flash. This sets a plan by Wilhemina into motion. Meanwhile, Betty goes to get her first apartment. She rents one sight unseen, and this is one big mistake. The apartment is a mess.

We next see the happenings at the two magazines. Wilhemina finds a way to dig Hot Flash a hole by taking Alexia on Regis & Kelly, and at Player Betty’s first big task is the biker babes of Player. One is scared off, and Betty decides to take her place. Another mistake. She ends up in a vat of some red liquid. After this happens, she goes back to her apartment to wait for some work to be done. However, the handy man never shows.

This isn’t the only problem though. Hilda calls Betty, and they find Betty’s old high school bully working at their dad’s job. They end up in a fight that gets Betty’s dad fired. Betty returns home, and her father helps her realize she is on the right path, even if it isn’t easy. Growing up isn’t easy. The next day Betty goes to the burger joint to apologize to Kimmie. The two talk and work things out. She even gives her dad his job back. A little bit of work by the family, a talk between the two Daniel’s and all is well in Mahattan this week. What did you think of the return of Ugly Betty?
