Recap & Review: Lindsay Lohan has come in and turned Betty’s world upside down as Kimmie Keegan. She has moved higher up in the ranks than Betty has in the entire time she has been there. She is now an associate editor while Betty is still an assistant without a business card. Kimmie has come in and changed things. She’s made friends with Daniel and everyone else already. As for Daniel, his mother tells him and Wilhelmina that Meade Publications is in trouble. She says they need a person in charge of finances before Meade goes under.
Betty finds her voice finally, and she decides to pitch an idea for an issue of Mode. She stumbles over it, but she still manages to get the job. With the help of her father, she finds the tico berry as her fruit of choice. It also happens to be the fruit of choice of model Adriana Lima, and this lands a huge deal for Mode. Adriana will be their cover girl, and Betty will be the point person on the shoot. This also leads Daniel to cut Kimmie’s part of the issue out. Score one for Betty. Now its war.
This deal even lands Betty a spot on fashion television, and Kimmie offers to help her out. She messes with the lighting, and this ends up having Betty mess up. Kimmie comes in to save the tv spot, and Wilhelmina and Daniel bring her in to help Betty with the cover. Kimmie wants Betty gone before the shoot. Gone for good. As for Meade, Wilhelmina is working to find the company a new CFO. She thinks she has found one, Conor Owens, but he and Daniel have a heated past together it seems. Daniel won’t listen to her bringing him, and he won’t listen to Betty when she mentions her issues with Kimmie either.
Amanda and Mark both approach Betty about getting Kimmie fired, but she decides to take the high road. That is until Kimmie gets ahead with Adriana Lima. When Kimmie calls her just someone’s assistant, Betty joins forces with Amanda and Mark, and she goes into war mode. They figure out to remove the necklace Wilhelmina brought in for the shoot. Kimmie will be the one to do it, and this will cause her problems. As for Wilhelmina, she brings in Conor Owens, and I think we have found the one person that Daniel hates more than Wilhelmina. On the way to the shoot, Daniel surprises Wilhelmina by calling Conor and offering him a job with Meade.
At the photo shoot, Kimmie goes head to head with Wilhelmina, and she lose her job in the process. Betty did have a change of heart and tried to warn her, but Kimmie wouldn’t listen. As her final act, Kimmie throws out the tico berries they need for the shoot just before Adriana Lima arrives. Betty does remember there was tico berries in the gift box she left her, and this is the berry they use in the shoot.
As for Betty’s family, most of the action surrounds the upcoming election. Ignacio is voting for the first time, and Hilda is running an election special. However, when the last client of the night comes in she gets a lesson in the law. One that will shut her down for a bit. Talking of shutting someone down, what is up with Conor and Daniel? Did these two just pull one on Wilhelmina. We will have to wait and see. This was a good episode for Ugly Betty, and we see the exit of Lindsay Lohan it looks like. She was never much of a fit with the show. Conor’s entrance now has me curious. What is Daniel up to? We’ll find out next week! What did you think of this week’s episode?
