On Thursday, May 21,  the Junior season of  Ugly Betty came to an end and this blogger could not have been happier with the results.  The writing has always been outstanding, in my opinion,  and the finale was no exception!  For the first time in the show’s history,  we were treated to a 2-hour season finale.  Actually it was two 1 – hour episodes back-to-back similar to Desperate Housewives but nonetheless left me looking forward to the premier of season 4.

First off:  YAY FOR BETTY!!!  She finally got her editor’s job at Mode, even though Penny Meadows had to die in order for her to get the position.  I thought SNL’s Rachel Dratch turned in a hilarious role playing Penny, and her twin sister Mindy.  After the whole Henry fiasco, Betty may have lost a boyfriend in Matt, but also gained him as a boss after daddy gave him the position!!  Should make for some interesting storylines for next season.  I thought Betty and Gio made a good couple, but what do I know.  Good to see Marc staying at Mode, even though he still remains Wilhemina’s assistant, losing the editor’s job to Betty and turning down the job at Vogue.   And speaking of “Willie”:  after attempting to blackmail Claire with the whole “having an affair with Carl and getting knocked up story” just to get Claire’s job,  we are left to wonder what “Willie’s” consequences will be, now that we know Carl knew about the baby all along anyway.   Will she get back the money Connor stole from the company so she can plot her revenge,  and just WHO did she see in the next room of her apartment that surprised her so badly that she would drop her glass?  Was it Connor?

The one I feel the most for in all of this has to be Daniel.  Can this character know no happiness at all???  Now that Molly lost her battle with cancer, what will become of him??  Will he return to his playboy ways??  Will he just shut everyone out and put everything he has into the success of Mode??  Will there be a Daniel/Betty love story??  These two are so close,  and have always been there for one another, I don’t see why not???   Maybe I’m wrong.  And, finally…we know now that Claire never had the abortion she said she had when she got pregnant with Carl’s baby.  Instead we saw what was adoption records that she was burning in the fireplace.  Adoption papers for a baby boy!!!  Could it be that Daniel is not a Meade after all??  Maybe the baby was Matt,  and he was adopted by Carl and Victoria to be raised as their own???

And worst of all:  the “tools” at ABC are planning on retooling  it’s 2009-2010 schedule to move Betty to FRIDAY night following that lame nanny show!!!  Could this be the end of  Ugly Betty??  We’ll all have to stay tuned to find out!!!
