Still missing Henry, Betty fights her attraction to Gio; Hilda tries to get Coach Diaz to notice her; Amanda agrees to do a reality show with her father, rock legend Gene Simmons; Wilhelmina makes a triumphant return to Mode.
Based on a famous Latin American soap opera ("Betty La Fea"), this one-hour comedy follows Betty Suarez, a plain girl from Queens, New York who happens to be smart, hard-working and savvy. Unfortunately, few people notice -- but all that is about to change. When publishing mogul Bradford Meade puts son Daniel in charge of his fashion magazine, he hires Betty to be Daniel's new assistant -- mostly because he knows she's the only woman in Manhattan that his offspring won't sleep with. Though initially reluctant to accept her, Daniel finally recognizes Betty's can-do spirit and great ideas; the two eventually become a formidable pair, ready to take the fashion world by storm. But there are threating clouds on the horizon: Welhelmina Slater, the beautiful but ruthless art director of the magazine, is determine to seize control of the publication, possibly with the help of Daniel's long-estranged brother, Alex -- who has reinvented himself as a transsexual, Alexis -- or by marrying Bradford, Daniel and Alex's father.
