"A Thousand Words Before Friday" is the 13th episode in the second season, and the 36th episode overall, of the American dramedy series Ugly Betty, which aired on January 24, 2008.
The episode was written by Henry Alonso Myers and Sheila Lawrence, and directed by Matt Shakman.
Daniel dates a woman who happens to be Wilhelmina's sister.
Freddie Rodriguez had been signed to do 12 shows but was not sure about what would happen with Gio even though he became a fan favorite,[1] while Gabrielle Union, who began her first stint in this episode as Renee, was uncertain about whether she would be a semi-regular[2] and prior to the strike was supposed to make more appearances during the second season.
Some thought that, despite a great storyline, it lacked the edge that the characters have on the show.
