I’ve fallen in love with “Ugly Betty” since the first time I’ve ever watched it. I remember the first episode I’ve watched was “Queens For A Day.” An episode which Betty gets a make over and ends up looking extremely… well… Not pretty. I have just finished watching the complete first season and I have to admit I have never seen ANY other series that slowly reveal bonds between the characters the way this series does. Not even in “How I Met Your Mother” and it’s basically the whole deal with the show. But I do think that the ending of the season was not an ending… It had no conclusion. Here’s how it went: [Spoilers]
First, Daniel Meade (Editor In Chief of Mode, this super fashion company) crashed his car seriously because his sister (Former brother, but he had an accident and was presumed dead for 2 years, but then shows up as a transsexual. The whole beginning of the show showed this cloaked lady which turned out to be Alex. [Now Alexis]) was driving him to the hospital because he was high.
Then Santos (Hilda’s [Betty's sister] husband) is buying his son a congratulations gift (He’s finally accepting his son’s sexuality and interests) when they store is being robbed and while trying to save the clerk, he is shot. Betty is aware of the news and looks for Hilda at Justin’s musical and tells her everything. The scene is heartbreaking. Hilda screams and cries and the sounds are muffled by the glass door separating her form the auditorium. Just when Hilda and Santos are coming back together and beginning to understand each other, he’s murdered.
Then Betty discovers her boyfriend-to-be, Henry, is in love with her, but he’s got a girlfriend, Charlie, who he broke up with for Betty. She comes to Betty and tells her she’s pregnant. Betty then finds out that it might not be Henry’s, since Charlie was having an affair with Betty’s date, (Her dentist) who she brought to Charlie’s birthday party.
These are the main events that happened on the last episode. There are so many things that need to be answered and nothing is concluded, it’s like a normal episode! Not even the pilot episode was so vague and dramatic.
Even though the whole watch-the-second-season-because-it-contains-all-the-answers deal is going on (And it’s working), I totally rate the series a 10/10 stars! It’s got the adorableness a series needs, the drama, comedy and sweetness. It’s a series you can’t resist.
