Ugly Betty Episode 12 – Sofia’s Choice
Just as Daniel gets the strength to pop the question to Sofia (guest star Salma Hayek), Betty discovers evidence that casts doubt on Sofia’s intentions. Meanwhile, Mode staffers are shocked to see a kinder, gentler Wilhelmina, who is being romanced big time by her wealthy Texan (Brett Cullen reprising his role as Ted), and Ignacio finds it very difficult to bond with his immigration caseworker.
Can Betty do what she has done so many times since her arrival at Mode and save the day? In the beginning of the episode we see Betty panicking, trying to get a message to Daniel just as he’s about to go on national television. Then we go to flashback mode, twenty four hours earlier.
Betty is given a writing assignment to describe her experience at Mode. A fish out of water sort of piece, swimming with the sharks. Sofia then puts on an act knowing Betty will certainly relay any information to Daniel.
In the mean time, Wilhelmina is enjoying time with Ted and has for a moment let down her barrier of evil, much to the surprise of everyone at Mode, but to the disgust of Marc, her personal assistant.
Betty, while on lunch break sees Sofia and Hunter in front of a strip club. She gives him a big wad of money, which triggers Betty’s curiosity. After digging, she finds out that Sofia and Hunter’s relationship was just a big front to a plot bigger than anyone had thought of.
We cut to the Meade mansion where Daniel and Sofia plan to have an evening with Daniel’s parents. It is there he proposes to Sofia.
Betty gets her hands on some copy Sofia had written about how to get a man to propose in 60 days. Her personal experience and one done with Daniel Meade, New York’s most notorious bachelor. This is where the episode begins, just as the couple are about to announce their proposal.
