"Smokin' Hot" is the 14th episode of the fourth season of the American comedy-drama series, Ugly Betty, and the 79th episode overall. It originally aired on ABC in the United States on February 10, 2010.
It's Fashion Week at Mode and Daniel (Eric Mabius) helps Betty (America Ferrera) to cover a low-priority show, this after Betty is singled out by Wilhelmina (Vanessa Williams), who then gives her something else to do a story on, like the history of the sewing machine. However, thanks to a malfunction in Daniel's new bluetooth that recorded a conversation between Daniel and Wilhelmina about Betty that later shows up on Betty's cellphone, Betty ends up giving Daniel the cold shoulder at work but she forgives him.
Betty discovers a new designer called Marisa, and decides to help promote her as one of the '10 Designers to Watch', however she faces stiff competition from Marc (Michael Urie), who gives her tips on how to pitch the designer to Wilhelmina. During the pitching, Marc does the talking while Betty plays Vanna White, but after winning over Wilhelmina, its Marc that gets all the credit instead of Betty.
Also hoping to make the list is Amanda (Becki Newton), who teams up with Helen to create a new clothing line, but struggles to persuade Marc and Betty to lobby Wilhelmina on her behalf. Unfortunately, both Marc and Betty agreed that Amanda and Helen had great ideas, they couldn't pitch the idea to Wilhelmina and comes clean to Amanda. Amanda, jealous of Betty and Marc moving up in the world, is upset with the two.
Daniel gets seduced into male modeling, which is spurred on by Wilhelmina after several of the female models bailed out but at the same time hoped to add more males to the event. Daniel tries his best to walk, talk and act like a model, but realizes that at his age and with his excess weight that he was not cut out to be a model and opts out of the event.
