"After Hours" is an episode from the dramedy series Ugly Betty, which aired November 9, 2006. In the United States, Canada and Australia, it is the seventh episode but the eighth overall, and was written by Dailyn Rodriguez and directed by Jim Hayman.

As another working day passes at MODE, Daniel finds his day cut out for him trying to find a freelance reporter to write an article on a newly opened hotel. Betty arrives with his bagel (which got wet as she handed it to him), and Daniel decides he has found the person to write the review.

After accepting the assignment from Daniel, Betty realized that this was a dream come true. But there was one problem: She and Walter had made plans to go to Atlantic City that weekend, and Walter is none too happy about because his heart was set on attending a The Price Is Right Live show. Betty tried to get him to accompany her, but Walter declined, leaving Betty to visit the hotel on her own. Upon arrival, Betty found herself being given the VIP treatment and (as expected) her out-of-her-element trademark was evident after sitting in a bubble chair, handing her Metropass card to the bellboy and trying to control a TV set. Later on in the evening Betty is given a massage by a handsome man, only to be interrupted by a surprise guest -- Walter.

After she clears up the explanation in order to calm down his jealousy, both Betty and Walter agreed to spend time in the hotel, just as long as Betty can finish her review, which also includes a dinner at the hotel's fancy restaurant. However Betty (who decides to wear her high school prom dress) insists that Walter dress formally for it, which is not sitting well with Walter. As they look at the less-than-desirable cuisine in the restaurant, Walter's frustration starts to get to him and tells Betty that he is jealous of her working at MODE and he doesn't know her anymore ever since she started working there even as Betty defended her job, but in the end Walter got up and left her.

After realizing what Walter said days later, Betty left a message on his phone to apologize. After returning home Betty sees Walter sitting on her steps; they later kissed and made up after she told him that despite her job she is still a Queens girl.

However her article was rejected by Daniel because it wasn't right for MODE. Upset over the rejection, Betty sought solace in the bathroom when Sofia Reyes came to give her encouragement and then told Betty that she will publish the article in her magazine. After she left, Betty's mood turns to excitement as she does a dance in the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Daniel found himself dealing with a new occupant in the magazine's conference room, Sofia. Daniel is none too happy that she is now taking up space as she prepares to launch her new mag. And as the banter between the two continues, along with the sexual tension and accusations over his womanizing and her being a tease, it wouldn't be long before they would give in to the temptation after the two shared an evening of unwinding over a game of pool at a bar. But when you think that this romance was about to steam up, get ready for a cool down because the following day after Sofia finished up using the conference room Daniel was hoping that they would hook up for another night together, only to have Sofia drop a bombshell; she has a boyfriend.
