When publishing mogul Bradford Meade (Alan Dale) hands the reins of Mode, the bible of the fashion industry, over to this son, Daniel (Eric Mabius), he specifically hires Betty Suarez as his son’s new assistant - mostly because she's the only woman in NYC Daniel won't sleep with. Though this "player" is reluctant to accept her at first, Betty's indomitable spirit and bright ideas will eventually win him over. Neither of them really knows the ins and outs of the fashion world, but the two are a formidable team against those who will do anything to see them fall.

Danny and Jamie join forces with their nephew, Joe Hill (Will Hochman), when Jamie and Joe's search for an undocumented, trafficked teenage girl converges with Danny and Baez's investigation into the murder of a woman in witness protection. Also, Frank and Erin butt heads when Frank calls out the district attorney's office for instituting a new rule that classifies armed robbery as a misdemeanor, a mandate that has immediate ramifications for Eddie and her partner.

After a pro-life loner stalks and shoots a doctor, the detectives surmise the gunman has another target in mind.

Betty unwittingly loses "the book," a proof of the entire magazine, complete with un-retouched photos of a popular actress (guest star Sarah Jones) who looks less than lovely without a little computer magic. If the photos get out, it could create huge embarrassment for Mode. Wilhelmina plots to use the snafu to bring Daniel down. Meanwhile, Bradford Meade secretively inquires about Fey Sommer's final effects.

Detectives Goren and Eames focus their attention on a murdered woman's parolee son (guest star Adam Storke).
