Ugly Betty Episode 4.19 The Past Presents the Future

Marc has no date for Hilda's wedding. Amanda has the answer: Her new client, Spencer, who's like a gay her, as she tells Marc when she fixes them up. "He's like me, but with junk."

Hilda guesses Justin's secret -- which he's just confessed to Marc -- and she and Ignacio decide to throw Justin a "surprise coming out party." Fortunately, they email an invite to Marc, who hastens over to pull the plug. "Have you people lost your minds?" he asks them. "Justin will come out when Justin wants to come out and you will all act surprised."

Henry RSVPs to a clueless Betty, who drunk-dialed him from London to invite him to the wedding. He shows up in New York with an even bigger surprise: He's moving back to the city after having lined up a can't-fail job interview. Betty's head is spinning with Henry's return and the dizzying job offer herself: Mr. Dunn, the British publisher has asked her to help him launch a hip new magazine. She's not sure she wants to take a job in London and leave her family.

Wilhelmina has Tyler just where she wants him: Drunk and furious at the Meades. "You're the only person I trust anymore," he tells her and she convinces him to ask the Meades for his share of the company and then sell them, to her, of course. Tyler demands his cut from Claire, or he'll go to Cal Hartley. Daniel tells her that Wilhemina foresaw this happening and Claire realizes who's behind Tyler's change of heart. Claire confronts Willie and the two start tearing at each other's clothes and before you know it, there's a diva fight in the pool. How Dynasty!

Betty had already asked Daniel to Hilda's wedding and now she has to uninvite him. She'll be going with Henry and he'll take Trista, whom Betty disparagingly says "brings out his dumb." Daniel warns Betty that she shouldn't start things up again with Henry or she'll get hurt. He's so concerned that, as Henry's former boss, he gives him such a bad recommendation Henry doesn't get the new job. "You are moving backwards," Daniel tells her and when she snaps he's doing the same with Trista, they agree to stay out of each other's personal lives. Henry finds Betty looking at apartment listings in London and urges her to go. She tells him it's not the right time and he nods and says, "It's not the right time for us either." She's relieved, because she feels the same way.

It's the day of the wedding and Justin brings Austin, despite his misgivings about their being found out. Ignacio has Gloria and Hilda has Bobby and Betty realizes her family is the happiest they've ever been. Daniel, who is dateless, tells her she looks beautiful and she confesses she didn't bring Henry. "You were right, I was going backwards. I guess you know me better than I thought."

In her bridal speech, Hilda says, "That's love, right? When you know somebody better than they do and you would do anything in the world to protect them," and we know just what Daniel's thinking when he glances wistfully at Betty. Betty decides it's time to take the next big step and accepts the London job. Justin takes his own big step, by leading Austin to the dance floor. His family beams at him and we're so glad they let him tell them in his own way.

Marc tells Spencer that he's looking for a meaningful relationship for once. Spencer admits he just went out with him to please Amanda and we realize why those two are like peas in a pod: He's her father, as Marc sees when he spies Spencer's Tweety Bird tattoo!

Wilhelmina realizes she may have done her job too well with Tyler when he steals her gun! She warns Claire, but it's too late: Tyler is there, gun in hand! Wilhelmina says this is all her fault and tries to get him to give up the gun but as he's handing it over, it goes off!
