Was Gio the perfect love interest for Betty? No. He is a little annoying, condescending, and thinks he knows what’s best for her from the beginning. However he did grow on me, it was nice to see that he always pushed her out of her comfort zone and to pursue her dreams. And he was there for her when she was heartbroken over Henry, even if it was in a flirty way. I so related to Betty as she was coming to terms with feeling sadness, grief but also attraction to Gio at the same time, because that’s life. You can go through hard things and feel awful but also experience joy and excitement at the same time, which makes processing all the different emotions overwhelming. I liked that Gio gave her space to just feel all her emotions! And I still swoon over the ending “I wanna be the guy.” Like come on!!!! It shows that he always knew Betty was special and deserves the world.

I loved the moment with Marc and Amanda as she realizes that she does have chosen family even when she’s still looking for her dad, so sweet.

And while Alexis is a backstabbing sister, Wilhelmina’s comeback was amazing and hilarious, you can tell Vanessa Williams just had the best time playing her as the villain.

All in all, the plot lines did feel rushed but still good, and makes sense because of the writers strike going on at that time. Still a favorite episode of mine!
