Ugly Betty has made a sweep across the nation with plots starting to evolve. Ugly Betty is first seen as the typical girl from Queens, who also happens to be Latino. We fall in love with Betty from the start, because we can see ourselves through her world. The casual awkwardness to the inevitable romance between Betty and Henry, (the two so-called "nerds" of Mode Central). In the first season she enters confidently and fails miserably at her first meeting at mode, when she comes in dressed in her Guadalajara wrap; which she is considering to be most fashionable. On top of that, her entrance into the meeting is not all together graceful, in which she bumps into the plasticized evil door.
Poor, poor Betty! Not only does she begin with a rough start at Mode, she learns from her friend Christina that Bradford Meade only hired her because she was the only girl he could think of that would not sleep with. In fact, Bradford found her to be rather ugly.
As Betty continues into the "Mode" feeling, Daniel begins seeing her as who she really is. He was making it totally impossible for her, at the beginning because he wanted to be rid of her. However, he learns everyday that she is exactly the person he needs to keep him on track.
Conflicts arise in both families, bringing it into conclusion that not all well to do families have it all together, but that they are like regular people, too, with thoughts and feelings about others around them. Plus, they have their own problems.
Alex, the older brother of Daniel presumed to be dead, has now turned into a female, and wants to overturn Mode and get back at his/her father with the help of Wilhelmina. Bradford is put in jail whom the now called Alexis is claiming that her father killed Faye Summers. Later we learn that it was actually the mother, Claire Meade. While Wilhelmina is loosing her touch with Alexis, she moves in to form a bond with Bradford. Bradford gets sucked into Wilhelmina's world and they become engaged. As Claire tries to stop the wedding, the plot thickens within the Meade family.
