'Ugly Betty' Bites: Willy goes hunting

The scariest/most greatest thing ever happened on last night’s Ugly Betty: Wilhelmina wielded a hunting rifle! And no, she wasn’t using it to kill of any of her rivals at Mode. Although, she did threaten Claire with it once. But honestly, who knew Willy was a hunter? Of course, the situation brought about a plethora of great one-liners for the ferocious editrix, which brings us right to the issue at hand. Last night’s equally heart-warming (Daniel’s love for Betty is so sweet) and sad (poor Cliff!) episode, as usual, was rife with quippy quips and bitey bites. So, like always, we’ve got a short video with the three best bites, followed by a poll. So watch and vote for your favorite. Then click through the jump for a round-up of all the best bites from the night. Don’t see your favorite listed? Tell me about it in the comments!

   

“Hey Betty, you look like someone who was good at science.  Why do tornados always hit shanty towns and trailer parks? Does God just hate poor people?” —Amanda (Becki Newton), while discussing tornados with Betty (America Fererra)

“Hey! What are we gonna do while the editors are gone? The usual—make the temps kiss each other?” —Marc (Michael Urie), to his bestie Amanda

“Marc, are you punishing me because I said I don’t approve of gay marriage? I only meant that for unattractive gays.” —Amanda, after Marc insists that he won’t talk about his wedding to Cliff (David Blue)

“Oh. Stop your cowering, Marc. I don’t even need a gun with you. Five good words and I can make you pee your pants.” —Wilhelmina (Vanessa Williams), while wielding her hunting rifle around in her office

“Thank God it’s hunting season. If I can’t be with the man I want, at least I can kill something.” —Wilhelmina, about dealing with her emotions around the guy she’s pining for Connor (Grant Bowler)

“Oh Claire, just so you know, I’m going hunter later today. Feel free to walk in front of my gun.” —Wilhelmina, to her boss Claire Meade (Judith Light)

[Inhales deeply.] “I smell pluck.” —Marc, just before a sprightly Betty appears, ready to fix Mode’s latest crisis

“Easy doesy, fuzzy wuzzy. You’re gonna give yourself worry lines. Not that anyone could see them under that canopy of bangs.” —Marc, to Betty

“Um, no. These stilettos were not meant for pushing. Although maybe they were meant for something else.” —Amanda, strutting off into the road with more dubious intentions after Betty asks her to help push the car

“Okay! One plate of Betty-saved-the-magazine pancakes. Actually, they’re just regular pancakes with whipped cream. You didn’t give me a lot of time.” —Ignacio (Tony Plana), celebrating the fact that Betty saved the magazine (well, almost)

“It’s not personal, Aunt Betty. There just hasn’t been a t-shirt-worthy scandal since Winona had her…troubles.” —Justin (Mark Indelicato), sporting a shirt poking fun of Betty as “Tornado Girl”

  • jaime

    1. I still cant believe we dont have a TV WATCH. I refuse to vote.
    2. I so want Hilda too hook with the Counselmen hes so nice…she needs to find someone its been so long!
    3. When is betty going to turn HOT and hook up with Eric. She does in the Original Colombian Novela and also in the Mexican one!
    4. I want a Tornado Girl shirt. . .lmao!

  • Sara

    Man, Hilda goes from 0 to Super-Biatch in like 4.3 seconds… Way to telegraph the impending interest in the councilman.

  • KR

    So clearly there will be some drama over Connor’s fiance since she is adorable and Daniel clearly likes her, but I hope nothing happens to make Connor leave the show. He’s super hot in a Daniel Craig sort of way.

  • Lili

    Really enjoyed last night’s episode — Daniel and Betty’s relationship is the best thing about the show. I, too, hope Hilda will hook up with the councilman, because he seems like a nice, steady guy who will be good for her. I should’ve guessed Ralph Macchio would still be cute.

  • Electronwriter

    I think Betty’s Dad’s comment about his pancakes was the best quote. Also, Wilhelmina’s jibe at Marc doesn’t make sense without the missing initial line or two.

  • Sprite

    KR — My thoughts exactly…Daniel Craig. Hot!!!

  • Cardsgal

    I have a major gripe about Betty’s wardrobe (Psst, Pat Field, are you listening?): Last night Betty was wearing a $600+ coat from Milly’s current collection, which we were told was a cast-off from Amanda’s fat days. How about dressing Betty in discount store garb? Dressing the character in mis-matched high end designer clothes is an insult to the viewers of this show…

  • Alex

    Obviously you all at EW aren’t listening to us! We LOVE UB. We LOVED when you guys wrote about it on TV Watch. You do Dancing with the Stupid Stars….SERIOUSLY?

  • Bobbi

    I loved the scene where Mark pointed Betty in the direction of the guy on the loading dock so she could find out what had happened. It was great to see him stick by her when she was being persecuted.

  • stacy

    LOVED IT! HOW DO I GET A TORNADO GIRL T-SHIRT?

  • cranky

    Vanessa (L Yeah) Williams is a gorgeous, gorgeous woman. So why to they insist on scraping her hair back into that tight bun? Free Willy!

  • Chelsey

    Where did the Ugly Betty recaps go!!!

  • juliet

    bring UB recaps back PLEASE!!!the show deserves it. loved last nights episode!

  • Music Love

    Love that song “Don’t Fight It” by The Panics which played in the last scene of the show!

  • Leslie

    Ok, is it just me, or is anyone else hating on Daniel’s character? The minute he was like, “oh, cute, normal girl; I’m crushing” I wanted to gag myself with a spoon. LOL. Seriously. I always thought he was better as a playboy having fun. Anytime he’s “serious” it’s dumb (also, cuz it never lasts). Whatevs. I don’t really like the actor anyway. More Becki Newton = a better show. The last two eps have been better cuz there’s more of her. Keep her and Betty roomies!

  • Becca

    This show is too good to not have a recap. However, if all you’re going to give us is soundbites, how could you leave off Justin’s response to Hilda’s asking what they could sell? Justin was back last night, and I was so glad!

  • Matt

    Ugly Betty came back this season funnier than ever. Truly loving it. ABC’s online store had better get their supply of Tornado Girl t’s together because they are about to be inundated with requests.

  • Fashionista

    Glad to see that someone else has noticed that Betty’s “ugly” wardrobe is nothing but mismatched DESIGNER clothes. So what if America Ferrera is the star? Put her in some truly ugly clothes! Would Meryl Streep wear Prada if she were playing a bag lady? I don’t think so…

  • Ugly Jenny

    As much as I love Betty Bites (yum!), they still do not fill in the void of this show having its own TV Watch! Why not incorporate both? 30 second clips of one-liners do not do Ugly Betty awesome episodes justice! Who’s with me?
    P.S. I secretly hope that in the end Daniel and Betty end up together. I love the love that they have for each other! Their friendship is such a great foundation for a romantic relationship!
    P.S.S. I cannot wait until Betty gets her braces off and some hair gel!

  • Alan

    You all know Hilda’s new man is the Karate Kid, right? …..Anyway, I miss the Ugly Betty TV Watch!…… And I disagree about Betty’s wardrobe. I think it’s uglier than ever this season. And don’t you think after 2 years of working at Mode she would be wearing designer clothes, even if they are totally mismatched? Why would she still be shopping at a discount store? She wants her own style, that doesn’t mean she’s cheap and clueless. ……And I don’t care what about says about Daniel, he’s such a cutie and always has been…..And finally, what’s with that side swoop thing on Willy’s hair? I hate it!

  • ccross

    My favorite scene was Mark’s cryptic, nonsensical if dramatic warnings to Betty in the gloom of the copy room when trying to tell Betty how to discover who shipped the magazine. Each line was better than the last. Also, loved the skywriting scene, and Claire’s crazy hat at the retreat. Something tells me if Betty ever lost the braces and turned into a swan Daniel would totally go for her, and I think Claire secretly knows this, however I totally dig Daniel and Betty’s friendship as it is right now.

  • Cardsgal

    Alan said: And don’t you think after 2 years of working at Mode she would be wearing designer clothes, even if they are totally mismatched? Why would she still be shopping at a discount store? She wants her own style, that doesn’t mean she’s cheap and clueless. …..Umm, Alan, NO, I don’t think Betty would be wearing an $800 Prada blouse on an assistant’s salary, unless she racked up a huge credit card debt (does that sound like Betty to you?).

  • Cardsgal

    To Alan again — Oh, and btw, smarty pants, thanks for the info about Ralph Macchio, as if no one noticed that…

  • Delon

    Best line was Justin’s This show deserves better treatment from EW. Bring TV WATCH back !!! nuff if nuff !!
