Veiled Vesta

Reasons and Moments

The Lyin', The Watch, and The Wardrobe

1) Because he recognized her costume as Nymphalis milberti. (Just something he knows) and she impressed him with her knowledge of the circumference of the earth. (It's 24,901 miles, BTW)
2) Because she was sooo "flirting with Henry from accounting".
3) Because he stapled her wing for her!
4) Because when she turned down his lunch invitation he looked dejected and embarrassed but when changed her mind and accepted he looked relieved and excited.
5) Because she was willing to "spread her wings" and try sushi with him.
6) Because when he realized she was nervous, he did everything he could to make her feel at ease - including revealing his Halloween "secret identity" (Super Accountant FTW!)
7) Because her "cheeky finger" wanted to lead her to Henry and tell him she had a wonderful time at lunch.
8) Because he understood that she had a boyfriend at that time and backed off.
9) Because they looked adorably nervous in the elevator.

Fake Plastic Snow

10) Because she had a dream she was kissing Henry. ("Just something I know" flirting included!)
11) Because he immediately apologized after bumping into her and scattering the fake plastic snow.
12) Because he was going to be "top of her" for the next few weeks... party-wise, leading to much awkward cuteness.
13) Because she thinks his talent for remembering useless facts is cute.
14) Because when he mentioned mistletoe she immediately flashed back to her dream and got jumpy and embarrassed.
15) Because she watched him dance and grinned when he had something on his nose (she told him about it, of course).
16) Because she tried to run away from her feelings and still managed to be found by Henry (when she bumped her head against the desk she was hiding under). He happily lent her a hand in getting up.
17) Because after lying as to why she was under there, she grabbed a nearby purse, claiming she had dropped it, and unknowingly pulled out a bunch of condoms! (Much to his amusement and her mortification.)
18) Because slow-mo and romantic monologue by Daniel doesn't lie: "You make my heart beat faster. You make my palms sweat. You do take my breath away."
19) Because when she saw that model kiss Henry, she ran away heartbroken.
20) Because he immediately pushed the model away and ran after Betty (but didn't get to her on time).
21) Because he called her to explain and still wanted to watch Rudolph with her (but she didn't get his message thanks to a nosey Hilda).

Swag

22) Because the first official meeting of Henry and Betty involved her almost missing a deadline with accounting and then stealing his bagel and coffee.
23) Because despite the above, he wasn't really mad at her and the two faced an upset Daniel together.
24) Because she brought him a coffee and a bagel to replace the one she took from him. (Peace offering.)
25) Because he was willing to help her uncover Wilhelmina's "props and extras" scam: the first time they pair up to solve a Mode problem!
26) Because they shared a brief smile when Wilhelmina was found out.

I'm Coming Out

27) Because he still wanted to explain to Betty about the Christmas incident (even gently grabbing her arm when she tried to walk away).
28) Because he did some serious poppin' and lockin' to put a smile on her face (that was the first time she'd laughed all day.)
29) Because he got her a Mode shirt that was closer to her size and would look better on her, then quickly clarified that she looks good no matter what.
30) Because when she found out that Hilda didn't forward her his Christmas message, she was ready to kill her big sister.

Brothers

32) Because he likes her glasses and her nose.
33) Because he invited her to see her favorite musical: Wicked (he remembered her humming the song and declaring she wanted to go see it, earlier on the elevator).
34) Because he was less than happy to find out that Betty only wanted to go see it as friends.
35) Because he got her a shirt for the show and wrote her a nice little note in anticipation of the big night.
36) Because after his ex-girlfriend showed up, he gave over his Wicked tickets to Betty and suggested she take her boyfriend, Walter.
37) Because earlier that day, Betty broke up with said boyfriend and when Henry left her with the tickets she just stood there, stunned.

Derailed

38) Two words: Jealous Betty.
39) Because she had a nightmare that Henry had a hot ex-girlfriend and even in her awful dream, he looked sort of apologetic (and he called her headgear cute).
40) Because he looked just the tiniest bit uncomfortable hugging his old girfriend in front of Betty. (Partly because Betty made friends with her before realizing she was Henry's ex).
41) Because once again, she hides under a desk to get away from Henry and her feelings but this time it's Amanda who gives away her whereabouts. ("What? I'm bored.")
42) Because Henry was afraid her friendship with his ex, Charlotte (aka Charlie), would make things weird between them.
43) Because Betty denied there was any "vibe feeling thingy" between them, and Henry looked hurt that she said that.
44) Because she gave Charlie the cold shoulder when they were heading to a party, and all her negative feelings and jealousy culminated in Betty purposefully losing Charlie on a train.
45) Because Betty felt guilty about mistreating the already meek Charlie and when she confessed to Henry, he didn't place any blame on Betty, rather he asked if it was something Charlie did/said that made Betty act in such a rash manner.
46) Because she said she broke up with Walter because of Henry and ran off in tears.
47) Because he followed her out of the subway, paid for her pretzel, and got her some mustard even when she tried to drive him away.
48) Because she admitted she fell out of love with Walter and that's why they broke up, not because of Henry. He in turn admitted it was the right thing to do (though her timing sucked).
49) Because he was sure she would meet someone new; someone who would see how wonderful, caring and beautiful she was.
50) Because after his little speech, he leaned in to kiss her... but they got interrupted by Charlie.

Icing on the Cake

51) Two words (again): Jealous Henry
52) Because the whole time Charlie was trying to invite Betty to her birthday party, Betty and Henry kept sneaking glances at each other.
53) Because after Charlie leaves, he allowed Betty the chance to back out of the invite but when she refused to do so he seemed glad she was coming to the party.
54) Because he went down to The Closet to deliver the address instructions to her. (It'll soon become apparent that he makes any excuse he can to see Betty)
55) Because he is surprised to see Betty bring a date to Charlie's party... unhappily surprised.
56) Because they both like the same cake: chocolate rasberry from Magnolias.
57) Because when Charlie kept going on about what a perfect couple Betty and her date made, Henry just said he barely knew the guy and kept his arms crossed and expression tense.
58) Because they watched each other sadly as they danced with their dates - Henry looking particularly gloomy when Betty and her orthodontist date left the party together.
59) Because he brought her a piece of birthday cake the next day at work and wanted to know where she went because he didn't get a chance to talk to her much.
60) Because she couldn't stand to see Charlie and Henry together so she told him it would be better if they kept a professional distance.
61) Because it was clear on both their faces that they were unhappy about being "two people who work in the same building".

Don't Ask Don't Tell

62) Because he knew Betty's favorite flower: pink Gerber daisies, her favorite pizza topping: pepperoni and mushrooms, and her favorite Disney princess: Cinderella ("Her mother always read that to her before bed.")

Petra-Gate

63) Because at this point, Henry is getting tired of Charlie. (He thinks she's needy and she thinks he's avoiding her)
64) Because she had a daydream involving him in spiffy new glasses... not exactly a romantic daydream but a daydream nonetheless.
65) Because he told Daniel that he missed her.
66) Because he caught her in The Closet doing fixing her hair with a steam cleaner but said nothing
67) Because we get the return of our crime-solving duo! (Last scene in Swag)
68) Because they have a cute scene where they mirror each others' moves (sitting on the couch, crossing their legs, and facing off against their adversaries only to look bored a while later)
69) Because together, Betty felt like Wonder Woman and Henry felt like kind of a bad ass.
70) Because in the end, they admitted they missed each other and we got the beloved Twirly Hug! (Which was unfortunately seen by Charlie)

Secretaries Day

71) Because he wanted to crash the Secretaries Day or "Administrative Professionals Day" party and Betty was happy to put him on the guest list (without Charlie, per his request).

74) Because when he found out she wanted to ride the mechanical bull for the prize money, he grabbed her hand and tried to lead her to a safer activity.
75) Because when Christina told him the money was to help her father, he offered to ride the bull in her place, despite having no experience at it.
76) Because during his phone call with Charlie, it's apparent she suspects something is going on with him and Betty.
77) Because when Henry's name is called and he's no where in sight (still on the phone with Charlie) she steps up to the plate, all too easily calling herself by his last name.
78) Because after she was knocked off the bull by Nick the uber-jerk, Henry rushed to her side to make sure she was okay (she was dazed but seemingly more upset that she lost).
79) Because he got angry at Nick for hurting Betty and shoved him.
80) Because he was ready to stand up for her and challenge Nick to a duel - Middle Ages style! (He was even winning at first.)
81) Because she tried to tell him he didn't have to "defend her honor" but he insisted that he did and put a little paper crown on her head.
82) Because during the duel, Betty indulged in a little fantasy where she was a princess and Henry was her knight in shining armor. (Complete with heroic thank you kiss)

86) Because Charlie acknowledged that he looks at Betty a certain way and she's actually jealous of Betty.

88) Because she thought it was nice to have someone rescue her for a change. Especially him.

A Tree Grows in Guadalajara

91) Because when she followed his apparition, it led her to her long lost grandmother's house.
92) Because her grandmother's words urged her to fight for the man she loves and her father encouraged her to leave him in Mexico to go after Henry.

East Side Story

93) Because he knew her voice on the phone and declared "ringle" was his favorite new word.

99) Because they shared a bittersweet goodbye kiss in Central Park, and reluctantly pulled apart.
100) Because when she found out Charlie's baby might not be his, she was ready to channel her inner chick flick heroine and go after her man. (Unfortunately, more drama would keep her from catching his flight before it leaves).

How Betty Got Her Grieve Back

101) Because 'Las Pasiones de Betty' showed us how melodramatic their lives had become; in a fun, silly way. (Including hot telenovela style make-out scene)

103) Because she admits she loved him after ceremoniously burying every little keepsake she saved from their time together, and declaring she is moving on.

Family Affair

105) Because when he first sees her, his "Hey you" was full of affection.
106) Because he didn't want to come back to work at Mode if it made her uncomfortable and she insisted he stay and work there, claiming they could just be friends.
107) Because Christina finally set him straight and told him that Charlie cheated on him and her baby might not be his.
108) Because he showed up at her doorstep and declared that Charlie was the only reason they couldn't be together and now that he knows the truth, she's not a reason anymore. (Did I mention he was drunk?)

Betty's Wait Problem

110) Because he miserably states that everthing seems to be against them being together (good point) he ends up asleep on her lap while she strokes his hair.
111) Because he's angry at Charlie and with encouragement from Hilda, he calls Charlie and gets a paternity test from her.

114) Because he's happy to do her a favor (tutor her nephew, Justin in algebra)
115) Because even though Justin keeps giving him attitude, he refuses to give up for Betty's sake. (Spurring the adorable parting line: "See you later, calculator.")
116) Because when he caught Justin making out with a girl and drinking, he overreacted and confessed that the results were in... he is the father. He didn't want to tell her because it would shatter their little hopes of being together.

A League Of Their Own

118) Because they planned to avoid each other until he has to go back to Tucson and help with the baby but the plan does not start out well when it turns out they're on the same bus.
119) Because the fates will not have Henry and Betty avoiding each other and thus they stick them in the same meeting room, sitting side by side, and distracting each other like crazy with trivialities like his foot on her knee.
120) Because she starts to see him everywhere, including as the underwear model that Christina is working on. (BTW: Shirtless Henry is drool worthy.)
121) Because Kenny tries to get her and Henry back together... sort of. (Does asking her to throw him "a Betty biscuit" count as playing cupid?) and when Kenny finds out Betty's internet dating, he rushes the news back to Henry who looks quite concerned.
122) Because Henry is concerned (see: jealous) enough to follow her to the bowling alley where she's supposed to meet her internet date.
123) Because when her internet date ditches her, he joins her, claiming he had no idea she was there and offering a ridiculous cover story for her date's disappearance involving a sick pet bird.
124) Because they realize their avoidance plan has failed so they eagerly try the "being friends thing" again. It works about as well as you think it would.
125) Because they have a cute moment where they bowl at the same time and get gutter balls. They just laugh about it and high five each other.
126) Because the fates will also not have Henry and Betty remain "just friends" they decide at that moment to bring dim the lights, project hearts on the monitors, and bring down a sparkly disco ball: it's officially couples bowling night. The two ignore this hint and leave.
127) Because the fates have an awesome sense of humor, when they go to a restaurant as friends, they find the romantic mood has permeated the restaurant. They try to stick it through as platonically as possible despite violinists and rose sellers visiting their table.
128) Because when Henry tries to be gentlemanly and pull out her chair she gives him a look. Then when he acts as if the chair was for him and laughs at her he manages to pull it off for about a second before apologizing and offering the chair again.
129) Because she tries to leave the restaurant but Henry pleads that she stays and somehow ends up on his knees, thus being mistaken by other restaurant patrons as someone who's proposing. He nervously says he would do it if it weren't for the circumstances but Betty leaves anyway.
130) Because he follows her home, saying he wanted to make sure she got there safely.
131) Because she tells him it's difficult for her to push him away because he's so sweet and thoughtful.
132) Because he realizes the fates would not allow them to avoid each other or just stay friends so the only other alternative is for him to go back to Tucson and she agrees, walking inside her house...
133) ...Because they pull a switcheroo on us and Betty rushes back out, realizing that even though she'll get her heart broken she wants to take a chance on him, and with that, the two share a long passionate kiss outside her house. (Classic 'As Time Goes By' plays in the background.)

Something Wicked This Way Comes

134) Because they have to date in secret since she believes everyone will berate her for taking such an emotional risk with Henry and they almost have a lovely good night kiss but Hilda interrupts.

136) Because she gets under a desk to talk to him for a change, and reveals their long awaited Wicked date from Brothers will finally be coming to fruition.

138) Because she soon follows with a head slam of her own when a disapproving Daniel catches them under Henry's desk. (The symmetry thing really amuses me.)
139) Because on their big night, they're dressed to the nines and he's proud to show her off, hold her hand and make adoring eyes at her.
140) Because their night out in the open doesn't last long; Betty got the Wicked tickets from Daniel under the guise that she was going with new character: Gio the Sandwich Guy. Now she must pretend to be Gio's date, much to Henry's displeasure. Jealous Henry emerges.
141) Because she is terribly sorry about the kink in their plans and the distance apart in the theatre, she text messages him silly little things. (A cough from her means "hello", A sneeze from him means "hello".)
142) Because after they get into an argument in the lobby where she tells him getting another girl pregnant divests him of the right to be jealous, he tells her that she's not the only one who'll be heartbroken when he has to go back to Tucson.
143) Because he reunites with her in the lobby looking repentant and they almost kiss.
144) Because they rush backstage to avoid getting caught by Daniel and when they're finally alone they start making out.
145) Because they ended up onstage on Broadway and got banned from Wicked together.
146) Because after Betty got chewed out by Daniel and left a confused Henry behind, she got valuable advice from her sister: there is a man out there who loves her and she should spend every moment she can with him.
147) Because she followed her sister's advice and went to Henry's apartment, ready to give him the night they both wanted and deserved (handholding, kissing, and more once she's led inside his place).

Nice Day For A Posh Wedding

148) Because Hilda tried to cover her when she snuck back home the next morning. (From Henry's place. *wink wink*)
149) Because when her father found out and got upset, she decided to leave the house, explaining to her sister that this was her only chance at real love and she deserves to do something a little crazy.
150) Because when he heard from Hilda that Betty moved out, he insisted Betty move into his apartment.
151) Because he was sweetly excited to have her in his place, showing her where her things would go and kissing her on the cheek, though she was initially more nervous (especially when he gave her a copy of his apartment key).
152) Because he was glad they could be a real couple now and the two tried to plan things together.
153) Because they woke up together the next morning, adorably spooned up!
154) Because they teased each other, made date plans, and shared so many kisses in bed, it would give you a sugar high! (Only these two would think the NY Transit Museum was something crazy and fun)
155) Because he initially resisted their Transit Museum date in favor of Betty patching things up with her father. She refused, still mad at her worried dad.
156) Because they snuck into Mode to get a coupon for the Transit Museum and even though he said he didn't mind paying extra, she insisted and the two shared a cute kiss.

163) Because this is the third appearance of the crime-solving skills of our favorite duo! (see: Swag and Petra-Gate)
164) Because when he said she was sorta bossy she got concerned and he quickly said she was always a little bossy with him but he didn't mind. The two share a crime-solving couple kiss.
165) Because Mr. Meade meant alot to him being his "girlfriend's boss's father..." despite this less than believeable cover, he and Betty face off against Wilhelmina and Marc to look for the Meade will (and it's worth noting how they hilariously mirror their evil counterparts).
166) Because when she realized the will was in "the secret room" (at the same time Marc realized it) Marc tricked her, shoved her down, and knocked over Henry when he tried to defend Betty.
167) Because Henry was not happy that he was the only one who didn't know about the "big fancy sex room". ("It's like freshman year all over again.")
168) Because when he suggested an escape plan involving the grate in the room and crawling through the heating system, she initially refused, he insisted, she called him the bossy one and he grinned: "You know you love it." She admitted she did.
169) Because while he was thrilled to crawl through the heating vents, she complained she was hot and sweaty.

181) Because his big surprise was that instead of their usual Saturdays involving eating ice cream and watching old movies, they were going to make their own ice cream. (He was so proud and excited of his surprise, he sang 'Ice Cream Man' by Van Halen to her.)

203) Because he explained to her that the jealous feelings she had when he was getting the phone numbers at the bar are exactly the same feelings he has when she's around Gio the Sandwich Boy.

220) Because she was willing to be friends with Charlie so she would leave her and Henry alone, something Henry was happy to see.
221) Because she was dreading the eventual break-up she felt was necessary between her and Henry.
222) Because when he comes over to her house (and she thinks they're going to break-up) she gets a huge surprised when Henry says the opposite.
223) Because they're absolutely ecstatic as they plan their future together, hopeful that a long distance relationship will work (Betty even grabs him for a deep kiss).
224) Because even when Charlie comes over, she can't wipe the grin off their faces (and Henry gives Betty a small kiss in front of Charlie).
225) Because Betty helped Charlie deliver her baby and Charlie realized she couldn't stand between Betty and Henry, thus the two young women were enemies no more.
226) Because in the end, Betty decided to do what was right and let Henry leave for Tucson with his baby, despite how painful it would be for both of them.

The Kids Are Alright

227) Because she was completely, utterly miserable after they broke-up.
228) Because she resisted Gio the Sandwich Boy's advances for much of the episode, still having feelings for Henry.

Jump

229) Because Henry returned and proposed to Betty, wanting her to go back to Tucson with him as her fiancé.
230) Because she had a wonderful dream about being Mrs. Henry Grubstick, complete with breakfast in bed and happily married kissing.

YouTube - Ugly Betty 2x18 Sneak Peek- Betty decides to take a trip

Guess who's back!! Its a new sneak peek!

Trip & Run

My jaw dropped! Thanks, Stacey!

No problem

Veiled Vesta

I don't know if I want to take a look at that sneak peek... is it really spoilery or just semi-spoilery? How angsty is it? Someone please tell me! It sucks being spoiler free, sometimes!

Oh, and does someone want to make a banner for the new thread?

Mrs. Somerhalder

OMG! I got so excited with the preview of the finale! Can't wait for it!

Trip & Run

Hestia - Well, the sneak peak is semi-spoilery. It kind of delves a bit more from what we got in the promo. There's a scene with Gio, then the Suarez family, and then Henry. I think you'll be okay if you see it, because I have a feeling this all happens near the beginning of the episode.

Oh, and it's not angsty, but it is pretty dramatic.

I can make a banner! It won't be comparable to the lovely banners you girls have made, but I'll do my best.

ETA: I added mine.

Veiled Vesta

Hi Karen! You've got to visit more often, m'dear!

Steph, that banner is so pretty! I hope you don't mind that I put it at the top. The new banners should always go at the top of each thread.

I guess I'll check out the sneak peak clip later. Oh, and I also made a banner for this thread but I'm not so pleased with it. (I'm never pleased with my banners). It looks too much like the one I made for the previous thread; same color scheme and all.

Trip & Run

Thanks Hestia! Your banner is AMAZING! I'm going to go ahead and add it, too. Please don't change it. It's lovely!

Veiled Vesta

Thank you Steph. I should've known you'd put it up there if I linked it. Well, I'm not going to watch the sneak peek, partly because it could be spoilery and partly because I don't have time since I should really be studying and I'm 90% sure I won't be able to concentrate if I watch that.

I'm just glad Henry is in the clip. Good enough for me!

Trip & Run

Of course I'd add it to the opening! It's beautiful.

You're so much more disciplined than I am! As soon as I find out there are spoilers, I pretty much drop everything.

I wonder how much Henry/HB we're going to get tonight!

ROCKSTAR

The OP is beyond gorgeous!!!! Great job! The title is so great too. I loved those nicknames.

Eeeek! I just realized I'm not on the list. Please, add me.

Trip & Run

Those nicknames are adorable. Added!

Did you like the episode?

ROCKSTAR

Thank you.

I haven't liked S2 that much because it was just dragging along certain stories. Not as great as last year's finale.
