Ugly Betty – Season 3 Premiere Episode

What has happend?

In the end of the last season Betty quit her job as Daniels assistant, just after Henry left for Tucson. She got a big offer from a magazine in L.A. This made Daniel let her go because he knew she wanted to fulfill her dreams. But after Betty leaving Mode magazine wasn't at all like it used to be. Christina missed her friend but she moved in with her husband. Daniel hooked up with Amanda for a while before he realized he didn't love her. He loved someone else he wasn't aware of.

Wilhelmina gave up her fight of starting a new magazine for herself when Mode won with their smashing layout.

Daniel succeeded to keep his new assistant, that means by not sleeping with her. He had promised himself never to be the man he was before again. He wants a woman he can settle down with.

Daniel is not the only one who thinks the Mode magazine is empty without Betty Suarez.

Episode 1, Season 3

A year as gone before Betty sat her feet in the Mode building for the last time, which many at least thought. But now she was there again. She went into the lobby with her new white and classy high heeled shoes and her white skirt and shirt. In difference of the last time she was in that lobby, she wearied completely different clothes. She had learned one and another in L.A. in the "Heart" magazine as an executive editor. Not about fashion, about herself. She had found her own style. The one she had before, wasn't her. She had realized that after some months at the new magazine. She had only not learned about herself, she had also learned a lot about editing and writing. She had changed a lot in one year. She wasn't only different about her clothes. She had finally got her braces away and went to an expensive hairdresser every month. She was happy about herself nowadays; she was more comfortable than ever. Not because for the fact that people accepted her in fashion business in difference of before. That wasn't the reason why she even got her makeover. She did it for herself.

She had been comfortable in Heart, but now she wanted to get back to New York and continue with her career and spend time with her family. She had also found out they wanted a executive editor in Mode. She saw it as a great opportunity for her continuing career and most of all, to get back to the place she had missed most. Good old Mode magazine. She missed the people in there so much. It was after all her home. She had only left it for the sake of her career.

In the first place she got into that lobby she thought it was weird. She was going to work with Daniel Meade, not for. She couldn't image how surprised he would be. Maybe he would find it weird too. But she was excited. She had for sure they would make a good team, they had before.

But she had a hard time imagining how all the people would react on her coming back, and about her enormous change. She wasn't that ugly assistant anymore who everybody remembered her as. Maybe they wouldn't even recognize her. She honestly found it very exciting to show them the new Betty Suarez, the real Betty Suarez.

She went into the elevator and pushed the button she had pushed so many times before. That made her smile. She realized how excited she was to be back.

When the elevators opened her heart accelerated maximally. By her surprise she saw Amanda by the reception desk. It looked just like it used to, like she had left yesterday. She hold her briefcase extra hard before she approached the desk. Amanda looked up. She didn't look surprised.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Betty started laughing. Amanda looked at her a bit surprised.

"Hello Amanda, nice to see you too again."

Amanda sat up and approached Betty's face with hers.

"Wait a sec, I know you."

Betty laughed once again. It was so amusing that Amanda couldn't recognize her.

"Be…tty?"



Betty just continued laughing before she started walking further away from Amanda.

"Oh my god! You look…. Hot!" Amanda screamed after her.

"And you're back!"

Betty just walked away with a laugh.

When she almost was at the conference room where she would meet Daniel and Wilhelmina her heart accelerated again.

She couldn't believe she was actually back. And that she would see Daniel again after such a long time. And when she saw him in the conference room behind the window standing by the board she almost fainted. It felt so unreal. And Wilhelmina and Marc sat by the table looking just as uninterested in Daniel's word as always. The weird thing was that everything and everybody looked the same. Everybody but herself. Except Daniel. He astonishingly looked a bit older and had longer hair. But it sure was good old Daniel Meade. She bet he was the good old ladies man too.

Before she opened the door to the conference room she took a deep breath. She had to make a good entrance, a confident entrance.

At the time she felt prepared enough she almost slammed the door open. The three of them inside immediately looked at her direction. She only stared at Daniel who looked very surprised. He looked like he was going to faint in any second.

"Hello", was Betty's only words when she closed the door behind her. She gave Daniel a smile. He was still in a chock.

"Betty? Is that you?"

Betty just nodded. She felt some tears coming up. She desperately pushed them back.

"Oh my god!"

Daniel rushed over to her and embraced her before she even had blinked. But she held him tight at the time she realized he was in her arms.

"You're back!"

Daniel let her go and stared into her eyes. He looked so happy, so happy she was surprised. She hadn't realized he had missed her so much. She hadn't even realized she herself had missed him so much. He even looked like he was about to cry, just like her.

"You look… amazing", he continued and looked at her from head to toe.

"Thanks", Betty said smiling.

"Well, after this tear dripping reunion maybe we can continue with our work", Wilhelmina suddenly said with her same old cold irony voice. Both Betty and Daniel looked down on her. Marc still looked chocked while he stared at Betty.

"Long time no see Betty!" he suddenly bursted out with a smile. Betty looked at him with a confused look. She couldn't tell if he was sarcastic or not. The most surprising thing was that it seemed like he wasn't.

"Hi Marc", Betty just said.

"Our new executive editor will be here in any time, so Betty and Daniel, if you would be so kind, to reunite later, or whatever it is you're doing."

Daniel sighed and Betty gave Wilhelmina a smile. She loved this.

"I am your new executive editor", Betty said. The room looked surprised at her once again.

"Really?" Daniel asked. Betty nodded proudly.

"How wonderful!" then Daniel bursted out and hugged her once again. Marc started clapping his hands and they all laughed, except Wilhelmina who didn't look happy at all. Betty enjoyed it.

"We're going work together! It will be awesome!" Daniel said. Betty still was surprised over Daniel. He was really happy about it.

"Yeah, we're a good team."

"Have a sit!" Daniel then said and pulled a chair out for her. Then they both sat down.

"It's such a good surprise to find out you are an editor now. Just like you always dreamed of!" Daniel said. Betty gave him a pat on his shoulder. She had never seen him looking at her like that before. It was a bit scary.

"Maybe we should continue this later, I can't stand it in here anymore", Wilhelmina then said and got up and left the room before Betty and Daniel had gotten the time to protest.



"Very nice to see you again Suarez, fabulous shoes!" Marc said to Betty with a big smile before he rushed after his boss. It made Betty laugh. It was pretty funny that Marc really was serious. He was really sucking up to her.

When she looked back at Daniel she was met by a big smile.

"Now you must tell me all about LA", he said. Betty smiled. "Sure."
