Ep 9. When Betty Met YETI

When Betty Met YETI is the ninth episode of the third season of Ugly Betty. The episode starts with Betty dreaming about her love interest, Matt, who suddenly transforms into a creepy Yeti. Betty wakes up startled and goes to work at MODE.

At MODE, Betty's boss, Claire, announces that the magazine will be producing a photoshoot for the first ever "Man Issue", featuring successful, influential men in the fashion industry. Betty is excited to be given the opportunity to handle the shoot, but she soon finds out that each man will be posing with a live animal companion. This causes Betty to become anxious because she is a fervent animal lover and doesn't want any animals to be harmed in the process.

Betty attends the first shoot where she meets the famous fashion photographer, Chase. Chase is extremely flirtatious with Betty, but she brushes off his advances. When they are introduced to the man, Henry, who is going to be posing with a chimpanzee, Betty is appalled when she discovers that the chimpanzee has been sedated to make it appear docile. Betty refuses to go ahead with the shoot, and Henry is forced to agree with her. Betty finds out that Henry is a vegan, and the two bond over their shared love for animals.

Later, Betty encounters Chase again, and he offers to give her a ride home. However, his intentions are not pure, and he takes her to a secluded location where he tries to make a move on her. Betty manages to get away and is left shaken. Betty confides in Henry, who comforts her and tells her that he is impressed with her strength.

As the story unfolds, Betty discovers that Chase is not who he appears to be, and he is actually working with Claire to take over MODE. Betty's colleague, Marc, offers to help her, but they are caught by Claire, who tells Betty that if she doesn't follow orders, she will be fired. Betty feels trapped but eventually decides to take a stand and do what she believes is right.

The episode ends with the photoshoot finally going ahead, and Betty impresses everyone with her bravery. When the shoot is complete, Betty and Henry spend a lovely evening together talking about their shared interests.
