Betty is assigned to interview a novelist. Amanda and Marc may have uncovered who Amanda's biological father is. Daniel unknowingly dates Wilhelmina's sister.

Renee becomes convinced that Betty is in love with Daniel and thus starts a rivalry between the two for his affections. In the meantime, Gina returns to Queens to flash her new life and rich husband before Hilda's face.

Betty juggles work and family without much success as she struggles to impress her idol, Jodie Papadakis (guest star Bernadette Peters), the editor running YETI.
