"The Bahamas Triangle" is an episode from the ABC comedy-drama series Ugly Betty, which aired on December 4, 2009. It is the eighth episode from Season 4 and the 73rd episode overall.
Plot
At Mode, Betty pitches a story about Australian swimmer, actress, entertainer and swimsuit pioneer Annette Kellerman (who looks a great deal like Betty in the kinescope sequence) who was arrested in 1907 for indecent exposure after she walked onto a public beach in Boston in a one-piece swimsuit for Mode's upcoming "Fearless" issue. As Wilhelmina reminds the staff about the Bahamas layout and the last shoot she will make for Mode, Marc frets about his employment, Nico's betrayal, Connor's death and Wilhelmina's future as this is her last issue. Wilhelmina assures Marc that she plans to become an editor at one of Mode's competitors, and that he will continue to be her assistant. Later, Betty and Matt talk about how they got Daniel out of the cult and still insist they are still friends. After she leaves, Amanda shows up to give Matt a gift, only for him to tell her that she is going to be part of the Mode personnel who are going to the Bahamas shoot. When Betty reads the roster on her e-mail, she sees Amanda's name, then confronts Marc who, after seeing Matt and Amanda together, spills the beans to Betty.
At home, Hilda shows off a scene from "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition", when Justin arrives with Bobby. Hilda is curious as to why Bobby would bring Justin home, which Bobby claims that he was doing his ex a favor. Later that night, Betty tells Hilda and Justin about Matt's interest in Amanda, and starts questioning why she would go with Matt, although Betty is not going to the Bahamas. Upon learning that Hilda and Archie would love to go to the Bahamas, Betty offers to get them tickets, while Justin shows Betty a scrapbook featuring Shakira, called "My Life With Shakira", and wants Betty to get an autograph from her. The next day, Betty tries to convince Daniel that he will have a great time in the Bahamas, even though people at work are still joking about the Community of the Phoenix, something he wants to forget. When Wilhelmina and Marc walk by the reception to discuss the shoot and the possibility of Wilhelmina to take the Editor-in-Chief job at Isabella, only for Marc to request a vacation for himself, they turn around and see Betty hiding from Amanda and Matt. However, Wilhelmina tells Betty that she will now accompany her to the Bahamas shoot as her assistant, and allows Marc to take a vacation. Later that day at home, Hilda surprises Archie with the Bahamas tickets Betty got for them, only to learn that Archie has work commitments that weekend and he fears that going on a vacation would damage his political career.
In the Bahamas, Wilhelmina lays down the rules to Betty, but Betty is distracted by Matt and Amanda. She reports back to Hilda at home via cellphone because she sees the two at every opportunity. Hilda, after getting off the phone with her sister, reads a post-it from Ignacio about the furnace and when she tries to turn it on, the handle breaks off. Bobby, who is stopping by to bring Justin's Playbill that he left in the car, ends up helping Hilda fix the furnace, but Hilda tells Bobby that she is in a relationship with Archie. Bobby is aware of this, but then admits to Hilda that he still has feelings for her. He then leaves, unable to fix the furnace.
Marc meets Daniel at an outdoor bar and the two bond over being single. Marc sets Daniel up with a woman named Savannah, who is charmed with Daniel. However, while in bed, Daniel cannot achieve an erection, due to the recent loss of Molly. During the shoot, Wilhelmina is stunned to see her rival, Penelope Graybridge (Christie Brinkley), accept the new job as Editor-in-Chief at Isabella on Fashion TV, while Betty finally confronts Amanda over Matt, which leads the two into a race down the water slide to see who he will choose. Although Betty wins, Amanda tells her that it was Matt who invited her. Matt arrives to see this, but Betty tells the two that she is cool with the two together. Marc then arrives to tell Betty that Wilhelmina has disappeared.
