Coming up in the premiere week of
Ugly Betty:
Episode 1: PilotMonday, 18 January, 2010 In the superficial world of high fashion, image is everything. Styles come and go, and the only constants are the super thin beauties who wear them.
How can an ordinary girl - a slightly plump plain-Jane from Queens - possibly fit in at MODE?

Episode 2: The Box and The BunnyTuesday, 19 January 2010
Betty unwittingly loses "the book," a proof of the entire latest issue of MODE, complete with un-retouched photos of a popular actress (guest star Sarah Jones) who looks less than lovely without a little computer magic.
If the photos get out, it could create huge embarrassment for Mode. Wilhelmina plots to use the snafu to bring Daniel down.
Meanwhile, Bradford Meade secretively inquires about Fey Sommer's final effects.

Episode 3: Queens for a DayWednesday, 20 January 2010
Betty uses her Queens connections to lure big time photographer (and former Queens Boy) Vincent Bianchi (guest star Rhys Coiro) to shoot for MODE.
But when Bianchi insists that Betty meet at a posh restaurant, she feels pressured to get a makeover... only things don't quite turn out as planned.
Meanwhile Wilhelmina Slater (above) primps for a big date, and Bradford Meade tries to get his hands on Fey Sommers' "death car".
