Ugly Betty 4/19/2007 (S01E20) "Punch Out"

[dswallow]

So... what exactly is in that dungeon, anyway?

I loved Wilhelmina and the foot fish... just perfect for her character!

Agreed that this was a very good episode. A few good plots that didn't take the expected way out:

Receptionist-lady didn't find the secret room in The Closet. You just KNEW during that scene she would discover it, but she opened the door and didn't find it even though it was revealed to the viewer.

Ignacio was still nice to his case worker even though she caused him so much trouble. She was just a confused, frustrated woman who needed some kindness and caring.

Loved the foot/fish schene !! Perfect for her!! Loved that Betty didn't take Daniel's call at the end ... after the way he treated her. Wondering if Alexis will really think of her dad differently - after reading what she did in the diary ?? The secret room - suppose to have the other diary in there... really think that is in there? And - what else is in there?????

Love this show!!!

Do those foot fish really exist? I could really use some of those.

I was wondering the same thing ... if that is real ???

Can you deep fry the fish afterward?

Great episode. Becki Newton's cleavage is always a welcome bonus.

Loved, loved, loved that Betty didn't take Daniel's call at the end. I was so afraid that she would. It reminds me of "Two Weeks Notice" with Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock. That same relationship dynamic (well, with the minor exception that they won't end up together, lol).
Funny that Whilamina was finally able to get the old guy's attention through a foot fetish after trying everything else.

Very interesting that they're reviving the "mystery" aspect to the show with the love dungeon. I thought they were trying to get away from that, but it should be interesting to see what comes of it...any guesses to what else it hides other than diaries?

1. Since it is in "The Closet", could it be that whats-her-face (the designer) knows all about it and secretly lives in there?

2. Is Faye Sommers really alive and stashed away in there? (I can't remember if they've actually seen her dead or not)

Other guesses?

Kinda slow episode IMO, though. I sure wish they would get rid of Rebecca/Alexis character...

Receptionist-lady didn't find the secret room in The Closet. You just KNEW during that scene she would discover it, but she opened the door and didn't find it even though it was revealed to the viewer.It just really bothered me that Amanda pulled on the clothes-hook, it bent downward, and she never even questioned it. Most people would not expect a hook to bend, so they would likely be at least a little startled that their handhold suddenly "gave away", but I guess Amanda had shoes in mind...

It also bothered me that given the room is in The Closet, that it was "secret". Has no one ever hung several heavy clothes hangers on that hook?

Oh well, really my only complaints about this episode.

It might've taken quite a lot of pressure to move that hook... maybe 100 pounds or so; that'd be a whole lot more clothes than likely would be on a couple hangars.

Comon - its amanda - brain the size of a grain of sand... Good ep over all

If they had the door activated by grabbing a book, Amanda would have never opened it.
