"Sofia's Choice" is the twelfth episode from the first season of the dramedy series Ugly Betty, which aired on the ABC network in the United States on January 11, 2007.

Betty goes back to MODE to ask Marc, Amanda and Daniel about their first impressions of her and starts writing the article.

It all seems to be going fine, until both couples begin to dance and Claire, Daniel's alcoholic mother, tells Bradford that she does like Sofia, but she thinks that she is hiding something.

Outside, Betty sees Sofia meet Hunter, her ex-boyfriend who is supposed to be in Europe, to give him money in secret.

They track down Hunter to a male strip club and talk to him; he reveals that Sofia hired him to pose as her fiancé.

The following day, Betty discovers that Sofia hired Hunter to manipulate Daniel, and that their engagement will be announced on the air that morning.

Sofia enters the office to thunderous applause from all except Betty, who hands her the article that she has written about working at MODE and quits MYW.

Marc tells her that Steve, the private investigator who was working for Bradford but turned out to be a traitor, called, and she answers his message.

In the strip bar scene, the song played in the background is Michael Gray's 2004 Dance hit "The Weekend".
