Ugly Betty this week:
Episode 16: DerailedMonday, 22 February 2010
Family matters force Daniel to reconnect with Grace Chin (guest star Lucy Liu), a girl he once stood up for a date in college. She's now known as "The Chin," NYC's most powerful lawyer.
Meanwhile, Betty makes a new friend, Charlie (guest star Jayma Mays), a likable out-of-towner she meets in the Mode cafeteria, only to find out Charlie is Henry's girlfriend.
And a blizzard descends on the city and derails plans, as Christina, trapped in the office with Marc, struggles to put together a gown for Sarah Jessica Parker; Wilhelmina and Alexis get stranded in a sports bar; and Hilda, Santos and Justin get stuck on the subway on the way to see Justin's favorite musical, Hairspray.
Episode 17: Icing On The CakeTuesday, 23 February 2010
Betty impulsively asks her orthodontist, Dr. Farkas, to be her date when Henry insists she come to Charlie's birthday party.
Meanwhile, Wilhelmina tries to drive a wedge between Daniel and Alexis when Daniel hides the fact that he's the one who hired Grace Chin to defend their dad - whom Alexis wants to fry.
Amanda catches the eye of a very unusual designer who declares she's his "muse."
Episode 18: Don't Ask, Don't TellWednesday, 24 February 2010
Marc, promising to help Betty with inside info for Daniel, convinces her to pretend to be his "girlfriend" when his suspicious mom, Mrs. Weiner (Tony winner Patti LuPone), arrives in town.
Things go from bad to worse when Mrs. Weiner invites herself to dinner at the Suarez home and Betty's whole family has to play along with the charade.
Meanwhile, Daniel and Alexis struggle to work together after their mom names them co-editors-in-chief of Mode.
