Editor's Note
A runaway hit (and Golden Globe winner) in its first season, this sweet and snarky dramedy returned in 2007 with more tales of the fashion industry's least likely success story, Betty Suarez (America Ferrera). Short, bespectacled Betty works as an assistant to the editor of Mode, a fashion magazine staffed by the bad and the beautiful; what she lacks in looks, she makes up for in spunk. Together with her boss, Daniel (Eric Mabius), Betty spends season two navigating the fashion world's soap opera dramatics: the hateful diva Wilhelmina Slater (Vanessa Williams) has given up her pursuit of an editor position, and is now jockeying to marry the publisher, while Daniel's sister, Alexis (Rebecca Romijn), is still coping with the consequences of her recent sex change. Meanwhile, Betty's true love, Henry (Christopher Gorham), has returned to Mode with news of a pregnant girlfriend, but another potential romantic interest, Gio (Freddy Rodriguez), just may steal Betty's heart for good. All of the intriguing twists and turns are included in this volume, along with a behind-the-scenes tour with Mode's cattiest employees, played by Michael Urie and Becki Newton.
