I love, love, love Ugly Betty. I've watched it through several times, including on first release. The very first episode broke my heart as Betty was humiliated by Daniel and the bitchy Mode crew. But a glimmer of Daniel's humanity and compassion shone through. Throughout the drama, the camp, the crazy storylines... it was the Betty/Daniel dynamic that was the real heart of the show. That's why I adore this finale. Of course it is sad that Betty leaves Mode, her family and the country, but Daniel grows enough that he realises that he needs to move on too. The very last scene with them meeting in London, her the career woman and him unemployed, a total role reversal from the beginning, and that tiny, fabulous hint of a possibility of more than friendship between them is just the perfect ending for this incredible show. I absolutely adore this episode. It's total perfection, albeit bittersweet that all has changed, and an amazing series has come to an end.
