"The Wiener, the Bun, and the Boob" is an episode from the dramedy series Ugly Betty, which aired on October 30, 2009. It is the fourth episode from Season 4, and the 69th episode overall.
The story starts at Daniel's office, where Betty is helping him pick a new assistant. As Betty collect papers from around the office to use for submitting features, Betty walks by the reception desk where Amanda and Marc are upset that she ignores them. Betty then criticizes Marc about his shirt (too loud), then bumps into Matt, who asks about submitting new features for Mode's upcoming article called "New York's Ten Most Thankless Jobs." It appears that Matt and Betty have patched things up. However, as Matt approaches Amanda, she tries to make a move on him, but shrugs her off and Marc reminds her that he dated Betty.
When Betty learned from Claire that Daniel hired a sexy assistant named Lexie to take her place, she questioned his judgment about why Daniel hired her, given his past experiences with hiring sexy assistants pre-Betty. Daniel and Lexie seem to not be on the same page as Lexie is more concerned about herself than listening to Daniel.
At Wilhelmina's, Nico returned home from getting yogurt, only to get a warning from her mother: She will not leave her side, fearing that she will be found out as a murderer. At work, Wilhelmina also learned from Marc that Cal and Claire are having dinner and the rumor that she might be replaced by Isabella, who works for "Vogue France." As Betty walked in to ask Wili about looking for an assistant to help her, she ended up turning to Marc. This gives Wilhelmina the time needed to keep a closer eye on her daughter, whom she uses as her assistant.
The two are not happy about this, even as Marc complains about working under her while Wilhelmina tells Betty she needs to deliver a feature. They continue to bicker until Marc challenges Betty to confront Daniel about why she got the job. That's when Daniel and Wilhelmina came clean about the coin toss. Although Daniel admitted that he thought Betty the right person for the job, Betty would get teased by Marc over the coin toss, and when they get their assignment from Matt, he tells Betty that she would be the one doing the jobs, which Marc agrees. However, Marc is standing by while Betty takes the dirty jobs. When they arrive at a hot dog stand, the vendor asks the two to dress up, in which Betty is chosen as the hot dog, but Marc is picked as the bun and feels humiliated about it. This pairing is not working out and as Marc confesses about being Wilhelmina's assistant for five years and that he was better qualified as a features editor than Betty. When Marc tells her about his dream about working for Vogue only to turn it down for Mode, they run into his idol, who recognizes Marc. When he asks Marc about how life's been treating him at Mode and if he got promoted, Marc tries to be honest but Betty saves him and Marc gets an invitation to join him for a get-together.
