The episode opens at Ecomoda. Betty arrives for a job interview, but her appearance causes immediate confusion; security and staff mistake her for a messenger or a maid. She is ushered into a waiting room full of beautiful, model-like applicants for a PR position. When her name is called, she enters the boardroom—where Armando, Roberto, Marcela, and Hugo Lombardi are interviewing. Lombardi is horrified by her looks. Armando is dismissive. But Roberto is impressed by her resume and her answers. Marcela mocks her, but Betty responds with intellectual poise. Against everyone’s wishes, Roberto insists on hiring her as Head of the new "Archives Department" (a position created to reorganize the chaotic files).
Betty hesitates. She knows she is being hidden. But she needs the money to support her father (a sweet, gentle tailor) and her niece. She accepts the deal. And with that handshake, the central, tragic, and comedic engine of the series is born. yo soy betty la fea capitulo 1
