Ugly Betty — S04E01 — The Butterfly Effect (1)
2009 · 43 MIN · IMDB 7.7 · 168 VOTES · DIR. Victor Nelli, Jr., John Terlesky
Overview
Betty finds that everything is changing as she begins her new job as associate features editor, especially since her boss is her ex-boyfriend, Matt Hartley, who is still unhappy about their breakup. In addition, Betty's new officemate, Megan, openly resents her, while Marc is constantly undermining her because he felt he was more deserving of the promotion. Meanwhile, without Betty as his assistant, Daniel is adrift, still mourning the loss of his wife, Molly. Betty tries to help Megan out on an assignment and connects with a thoughtful insect jewelry designer, Olivia, while Justin starts high school and is victimized by bullies-but won't tell his mom, Hilda. Claire Meade is finding that her power struggle at the company has her sitting pretty - for the moment -- opposite Wilhemina, who lost her claim to the Meade throne last season. But Wili has perhaps an even bigger problem than job security - she is harboring a secret at home that is driving Marc to distraction.

00:00:03 BETTY: Last season on Ugly Betty...
00:02:11 JUSTIN: Good morning!
00:03:41 and figure out what color her parachute is.
00:05:06 And then you have to...
00:07:39 I know. I've read everything you've done for Mode.
00:09:10 Is there a fashion angle?
00:10:49 Oh, I really have to take this. Hello?
00:13:54 Wake up and smell the aromatherapy, Betty.
00:15:45 I just need to get in there and make some allies.
00:17:14 Enough with the dramatic windups.
00:18:54 Literally, everything I've found so far is strictly craft fair.
00:20:34 and I'm sorry. Goodbye.
00:22:22 But you're the one who took the job as my boss at Mode.
00:24:15 I would have told you about it, but my throat closed shut.
00:25:39 and she doesn't have a plan. She expects me to believe that?
00:27:30 All right, if you think it's okay.
00:29:30 You survived that, you're going to survive this.
00:31:24 Yes, of course. It's just...
00:33:09 Don't worry. I will take care of everything.
00:35:06 I think they're attracted by the color of your clothes.
00:37:40 for helping Justin out with the shirt yesterday.
00:39:05 Thanks for inviting me to have lunch with you.
00:40:42 She was just here.
00:42:14 I'm sure it's going to be great.
