"Chica and the Man" is an episode from the ABC comedy-drama series Ugly Betty, which aired on February 3, 2010. It is the 13th episode from Season 4 and the 78th episode overall.
The story begins with Marc moving in next door as Betty's new partner in the office space next to Daniel's. When she sees her blog is nominated for a "BLOBBY" by the BLOB (The Black & Latino Organization of Bloggers), she goes hysterical and gets overexcited about it. She then asks Daniel to present the award to her. Later during the meeting Daniel announces that he has landed two popular Spanish movie stars, director Diego Martinez and actress Victoria, and assigns Marc to the photo shoot, then decides to co-write the interview portion with Betty, this after Wilhelmina suggests that Daniel might need someone with more expertise, namely Betty. Later on, Betty is greeted by her fan, who is a BH ("Betty Head"). She makes a suggestion that Betty pick someone other than a celebrity, but Betty insists on having Daniel as the presenter. When Daniel arrives to greet the BH, he ends up embarrassing Betty about her four years at Mode in front of the fan, and Betty is not happy about it.
Out in the street, Wilhelmina is greeted by a person who tells her that he enjoys her show. When Wilhelmina confronts Marc, who tells her that she's been impersonated in a drag queen show starring "Wilheldiva Hater". This prompts Wilhelmina to order a cease and desist to stop the show. Later that evening, Wilhelmina heads down to the club and she sees Marc and Claire there, as it turns out that they are frequent patrons. Wilhelmina decides to see the show and watches Wilheldiva Hater perform, only to later confront the impersonater and threatens to sue him. The following day Wilheldiva stops by to convince Wilhelmina to let him continue perform his act, but Wilhelmina refuses to let him, saying that she will shut it down if he continues with the routine. As Wilhediva leaves, Daniel shows up to thank "Wilhelmina", thus giving the real Wilhelmina an idea, by having the fake Wilhelmina do all her annoying charitable meetings, which involves breast cancer and girl scouts.
On set of the shoot, Diego and Victoria find themselves dealing with Marc's clueless concepts, followed by Daniel and Betty showing up to see the two. When Victoria sees Betty with the research book, Daniel tries to take over, only to have Betty upstage him, this in retaliation of what he told the BH. Later that evening, Betty vents her frustration of Daniel in front of Hilda and Ignacio. Ignacio then reminds Betty that she still works with Daniel and advises her not use that in her blog, but hours later she does (without using Daniel's name) and sends it anyway. The next day, Betty is stunned that she got 500 hits... and a lot flack from Daniel when it is discovered that the entire blogsphere had now figured out that she was talking about Daniel after Ignacio alerted her and she sees Daniel opening his Google hits with help from Amanda. Daniel is not happy with what Betty did and Daniel decides that he will not go the event. When the BH returns to ask Betty if Daniel will be at the BLOBBYs, where he will get pelted with red glasses and burritos by the audience, Betty tells her that he's not coming, so the BH asks Wilhelmina to present Betty, so Wilhelmina uses Wilheldiva to take her place, despite the fact that Wilhediva had already planned a final show that same evening, which Claire will also attend as Wili stops by her office and puts her silletto on Claire's flyer after it fell on the carpet.
