"Back in Her Place" is an episode from the ABC comedy-drama series Ugly Betty, which aired on January 13, 2010. It is the 11th episode from Season 4 and the 76th episode overall.
The story began with Betty pleading with her landlord, Mr. Z, after she knocks on his door and he asks for the rent. So he gives in, and, in a series of flashbacks, she starts explaining her story, complete with a sprained left ankle, peeling dry skin and overpuffed hair...
...Beginning with "Two Days Ago", when Betty tells Marc about writing a story about stillettoes, but finds it too light, saying that she wants to write something that inspires people other than writing about shoes. At a cafe, and after overhearing a couple talking, Betty and Matt talk about their future together, when all of a sudden she observes different people wearing shoes. This gives Betty an idea to do a story called "Walk a Mile In Her Shoes" which is about people who do inspiring things that help change the world. But Wilhelmina (who wanted Betty to write the story that she gave her) and everyone else in the meeting room was not cool to her idea, and gets her keys taken away.
As Marc talked to Daniel, Wilhelmina later walks in, saying that she wants Marc back. So the two agree to share him. However, it turns out that Marc is starting to screw around with Daniel's work schedule by rescheduling his appointments and altering his daily routines. This has Daniel to believe that Marc is trying to sabotage him so he can go back to Wilhelmina, even after Daniel told Wili that Marc now works for him. However Betty and Amanda thinks Daniel is not giving Marc enough credit and might be doing him a favor. Hours later on at the federal pen, Wilhelmina and Connor kissed, only to have Connor tell her that as much as he loved her, Connor is not so sure if he wants Wilhelmina in his life. But Wilhelmina isn't giving up easily, so she surprises Connor by proposing to him, and he accepts reluctantly.
As Betty talks to Hilda about what has happened at work when she starts to believe that Wilhelmina is giving her a hard time, Hilda watches Bobby spill spaghetti on the floor and is starting to get moody around him. This would prompt Bobby to tone down Hilda by pampering her now that she is expecting, so later on at her beauty shop he tells Hilda that he will put her on a what he calls a "Hilda Week", in which they get a chance to spend sometime together. Hilda accepts, as witnessed and encouraged by a customer.
Back at work, Betty begs with Wilhelmina to give her another chance, so Wilhelmina gives in, but in what can be called "torture", she gives Betty a pair of high heels and wants her to wear them for a mile so that she can write for them. Unfortunately, Betty is not feeling comfortable wearing them while walking the streets of New York City, and she bumps into Daniel along the way before she slips and hurts her ankle. Betty returns the shoes to Wilhelmina while on crutches and tells her that she has submitted the story to her. Before Betty leaves, Wilhelmina gives her a lotion (that caused Betty's skin to break out) to use as her next story piece.
