Betty's got to feel as if she's being punished, except she doesn't know why, because she's done Everything Right.
I think this is it. Betty doesn't see herself as monstrous; Don's the monster. Betty's completely validated (by the marriage to Henry) and justified (by Don's lies) to be a total bitch.
I presume they'll give her character some kind of arc away from it but I'm wondering what it would take to make her change. Historically and narratively I think it'd take a few years for her to become dissatisfied again.
And Betty seemed disappointed she wouldn't be getting the dirt.
Did she ever find out that her dr was reporting back to Don?
I feel bad for Sally being sent to therapy for the crime of being a 10-year old girl, but Dr Edna at least seems like she'll be a good person for Sally to vent to.
I veer between thinking that Betty was written too one-dimensionally and thinking, "Y'know, I suspect more than a few dissatisfied housewives were like this."
The thing is, last season there was a LOT more to her character than just "shitty mom." She wasn't a likeable character by any stretch, but she had some depth. So it's disappointing to see her written into the pure villainess role in the only ep so far this year where she's had any screentime at all.
Did she ever find out that her dr was reporting back to Don?
yes.
I have a feeling husband #2 is going to die or something.
oh, now that it interesting. Isn't it funny they are STILL living in Don's house?
Exactly, le nubian. 1. Doesn't he have his own house? And 2. if he's filthy rich, why haven't they just bought another one?
Isn't it funny they are STILL living in Don's house?
Yep. My "shit's gonna come crashing down" sense is tingling.
I'm kind of expecting a political scandal to ruin Henry's career, and Betty freaks and the kids come back to Don.
That way you could send her character off in a different direction, and we could see Don grounding himself with parenthood.
Or, something completely else.
It's Betty that is finding "reasons" for them not to move, isn't it? Because they haven't found a place that would be right for the kids, blah, blah, blah.
There's something funny about Don having bought two houses for women he doesn't live with.
