"Betty's Wait Problem" is the third episode of the second season of the dramedy series, Ugly Betty. It originally aired on October 11, 2007 and it is the 26th episode overall, which was written by Tracy Poust and Jon Kinnally and directed by Tricia Brock.
At the Suarez home that night, Betty tried to calm Henry down after his drunken blitz in the wake of finding out Charlie had cheated on him. The following day, Hilda babysat Henry by giving him her hangover cure (consisting of tomato, raw egg and a little bacon grease), only to throw up at the sight of Hilda's plate of huevos (eggs).
At Daniel's place, Amanda told Daniel she had the DNA results that would reveal if they were related. After Amanda opened the letter and read the results stating Bradford was not her father, the two kissed. However, Amanda told Daniel that she still hasn't forgiven him. Later that day, Amanda got an idea from Marc: Make her official debut at The Meade Black & White Ball as a "Sommers." As they walked by Henry's office, the two pestered the accountant for their paychecks, only to have Mr. Grubstick put the duo in their place after being offended by the pair for calling him "Grubstank"; they left, having seen a different (and attractive) side they never seen from the accountant. At the event, Marc tried to steer the spotlight away from reporter Suzuki St. Pierre and toward Amanda and Halston, only to have it backfire on Amanda. She finally got the flashbulbs popping after Marc deliberately (and somewhat apologetically) stepped on the hem of her dress, which caused her dress to come off! Despite that fiasco, Amanda told Marc that even though she got noticed in the press in an unexpected way, she still wanted to find her birth father.
At work, Daniel asked Betty to pick up a new wheelchair that he wanted to use at the event. Afterward, she met a new canteen guy named Giovanni, whom she found both intriguing and annoying. After she complained about not having enough sun-dried tomatoes on her sandwiches to Daniel, Betty discovered that Gio was fired and Gio blamed "MODE Girl" Betty for it, causing him to reveal what he really put in his sandwiches to everyone in the 28th floor. Feeling a sense of guilt, Betty caught up with Gio and apologized for what happened. As she saw Gio's van, she asked him if he could take her to New Jersey to pick up the new wheelchair Daniel needed. Along the way to and from the place they were going, Betty and Gio began bantering over their strengths and weaknesses, leading each other to deny that they were wrong about who's right and vice versa.
During the afternoon, Justin showed up in Daniel's office to ask Daniel if he could play basketball, even in a wheelchair, even though Daniel--who told Justin that he was nicknamed "Dr. Swish" when he was at Harvard--didn't know a thing about the game. On the court, Daniel kindly offered to teach Justin, but as he watched Justin dribble with both hands and scream when the ball bounded toward him, a frustrated Daniel leaped up from his wheelchair to show him how it's done, surprising Justin. Daniel came clean to Justin that he only did it to impress a therapist, but Justin told Daniel that he admired him anyway. Later on at the Suarez home, Justin accidentally shows Hilda the pictures that featured Daniel standing, prompting Hilda to call Betty. Betty, who had brought the wheelchair back in time for the ball, confronted Daniel over lying to her about faking his injury, even as the wheelchair started to malfunction. As Daniel walked away uninjured, Betty told him that he shouldn't try to pretend to be what he is not, and that she'd always be there for him. She would continue to assist him on the condition that she be allowed to take a writing class during lunch. Later on at the event, a standing Daniel introduced the guest honoree, Kenneth Cole.
