"The Bahamas Triangle" is an episode from the ABC comedy-drama series Ugly Betty, which aired on December 4, 2009. It is the eighth episode from Season 4 and the 73rd episode overall.
The story begins with Betty pitching the story of swimsuit pioneer Annette Kellerman (who looks a great deal like Betty in the kinescope sequence), the Australian-born swimmer, actress and entertainer, who was arrested in 1907 for indecent exposure after she walked onto a public beach in Boston in a one-piece swimsuit for Mode's upcoming "Fearless" issue. As Wilhelmina reminds the staff about the Bahamas layout and the last shoot she will make for Mode, Marc frets about Nico, Connor, Wilhelmina's and most of all, his future, as this is her last issue. Wilhelmina assures Marc that she has a plan to become an editor at one of Mode's competitors, and that he will continue to be her assistant. Back at Casa Suarez, Hilda shows off a scene from "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," when Justin arrives with Bobby. Hilda is curious as to why Bobby would bring Justin home, which Bobby claims that he was doing his ex a favor, plus he wanted to get some water. Moments later back at Mode, Betty and Matt talk about how they got Daniel out of the cult and still insist they are still friends. After she leaves, Amanda shows up to give Matt a gift, only to have Matt tell Amanda that she is going to be on the list of Mode personnel that will go to the Bahamas shoot. When Betty reads the roster on her e-mail, she sees Amanda's name, then confront Marc, who after seeing Matt and Amanda together, Marc spills the beans to Betty.
At home, Betty tells Hilda and Justin about Matt's interest in Amanda, and starts questioning why she would go with Matt, although Betty is not going to the Bahamas. When Betty learns that Hilda and Archie would love to go to the Bahamas, Betty says that she can get them tickets, while Justin shows Betty a scrapbook featuring Shakira, called "My Life With Shakira", and wants Betty to get an autograph from her. The next day Betty tries to convince Daniel that he will have a great time in The Bahamas, even though people at work are still joking about the Community of the Phoenix, something he wants to forget. Betty later sees Amanda and Matt by the reception desk and hides. When Wilhelmina and Marc walk by to discuss the shoot and the possibility of Wilhelmina to take the Editor-In-Chief job at Isabella, only to have Marc talking about having a vacation himself, they turn around and see Betty. However, its Wilhelmina who tells Betty that she will now accompanying her to the Bahamas shoot as her assistant, and at the same time tells Marc that he will finally get a vacation. Later that day at the Suarezes, Hilda and Archie talk about getting away to the Bahamas after getting tickets from Betty, but Archie had made other plans and fears that going on a vacation would damage his political career. This would cause Hilda to become upset over Archie's decision.
