Ugly Betty Episodes 4.04, 4.05 Titles and Synopses

Want to know what’s going on with Ugly Betty after this week’s episode 4.03, Blue on Blue?  Here are the titles and synopses for episodes 4.04 and 4.05 (hat tip SpoilerTV).

Episode 4.04 is entitled "The Wiener, the Bun and the Boob". (Heh).  The synopsis:

Betty is overwhelmed with her editorial work, so Wilhemina assigns Marc to be Betty’s temporary assistant. Betty’s story idea to cover the worst jobs in New York goes south when she has to dress up as a hot dog and do a Bollywood dance number. Meanwhile, Marc frets that he’ll never be taken seriously by his idol at Vogue magazine, Hilda gets Archie’s campaign in trouble, Daniel hires a gorgeous but inept assistant (supermodel Brooklyn Decker), and Natalie introduces Daniel to the Community — a group whose charismatic leader (Dylan Baker) zeroes in on Daniel.

OMG, there is so much awesomeness going on in this episode/  Marc as Betty’s assistant!  Betty as hot dog!  Betty doing a Bollywood number!  (I guess that’s where Tommy Tune comes in.  But then again, he isn’t on the the guest star list).  Hilda gets Archie’s campaign in trouble, and Daniel hires Brooklyn Decker.  And Daniel joins a cult?

Guest stars for this one:  Jamie-Lynn Sigler as Natalie, David Rasche as Cal Hartley, Yaya DaCosta as Nico Slater, Ralph Macchio as Archie Rodriguez, Jr., Brooklyn Decker as Lexie and Dylan Baker as Bennett.

The episode was written by Brian Tanen (yeah!) and directed by Wendey Stanzler.

Episode 4.05 is entitled “Plus None”.  The synopsis:

Matt asks someone else to be his "plus one" at Wilhemina’s fund-raiser for Tibetan orphans, and Daniel hires his new BFF Natalie as his assistant, making Betty feel obsolete. Amanda keeps a secret from Betty, and Daniel discovers that his mother, Claire, has history with Cal Hartley. Meanwhile we learn the truth behind Nico’s dire straits.

It looks like I might have been wrong about Nico – there is a mystery to her story after all.  Perhaps she has not been totally up front with Wilhelmina?  And – Wilhelmina is hosting a Tibetan orphan fundraiser?  That may have been Daniel’s idea.  And Betty will feel left out.  I feel a sad song and montage coming up. 

The guest stars:  Jamie-Lynn Sigler as Natalie, David Rasche as Cal Hartley, Yaya DaCosta as Nico Slater, Piter Marek as Detective Oskar Castelar, Smith Cho as Megan, Andrew Friedman as Andy, Jordan Carlos as speech writer and Joan Poust (any relation to writer/ producer Tracy Poust?) as Mrs. Watkins.

The episode is written by Cara DiPaolo and directed by Paul Holahan.

So, our schedule so far is:

Oct 23 – 4.03, Blue on Blue

0ct 30 – 4.04, The Weiner, the Bun and the Boob

Nov 6 – 4.05, Plus None
