Coronado is connected to the mainland by a strip of land called the Silver Strand; the Silver Strand and North Island, form San Diego Bay.

In 1969, the San Diego–Coronado Bridge was opened, allowing much faster transit between the cities than bay ferries or driving via State Route 75 along the Silver Strand.
The bridge is made up of five lanes, one of, controlled by a moveable barrier that allows for better traffic flow during rush hours.

"Family/Affair" is the second episode in season two of the American dramedy series Ugly Betty, which aired on October 4, 2007. It is the 25th episode in the series, written by Bill Wrubel and directed by Victor Nelli, Jr. At a MODE staff meeting, Wilhelmina walks around reading a statement about pulling together in difficult times, like a family, and as usual, Betty reaches back for a bagel off of the food table and ends up knocking everything over. To add to Betty's embarrassment, Marc loudly whispers "Don't worry, nobody noticed" whilst holding a bagel aloft. Turns out that what Wilhelmina was reading was the letter from the editor going in the newest issue of MODE about the Meade family misfortunes, which has Betty wondering if the letter from the editor should be written by Daniel. Wilhelmina tells Betty that Daniel's been through a lot and needs a break, but as Betty protests that he's fine, Wilhelmina tells her to shut up. At the hospital, Betty learns from Daniel that Alexis has partial retrograde amnesia, has blanked out on the past two years - the last thing she remembers is their Mom's birthday party two years ago.
Alexis doesn't remember becoming a woman, but seems to be enjoying squeezing her new breasts after she looks at them, which prompts Betty to start squeezing her own breasts as well, earning herself a questioning look from Daniel. Alexis doesn't know that Bradford rejected her, that Bradford and Claire are divorcing, that Claire is a wanted criminal, or that Bradford and Wilhelmina are getting married. Betty tells Daniel of Wilhelmina's scheme to control the magazine, talks him into looking at the book for the newest issue, which she has yet to acquire. After Betty leaves, Alexis calls Daniel in. On, Bradford says he has no problem telling Alexis the truth about what's going on, so Daniel tells him to have a go at it; as Bradford visits Alexis, she yells at a baseball game on TV, the two start to bond though Daniel doesn't buy Bradford's sympathy. Daniel blast Bradford for not being honest with Alexis, but Bradford tells him about getting a second chance and wanting to fix the mistakes he made.
Still, Daniel doesn't seem to be buying it. Back at the hospital, Daniel wants to tell Alexis the truth, until he sees how happy it makes her to think that he and Bradford are there for her; when she asks how they got into their accident, Daniel lies. Bradford comes in, but it looks like this family reunion may be an act as Bradford and Daniel look at each other. Meanwhile, Marc has a lock of Amanda's hair in one bag, Bradford's ear hair in another as they prepare to get the DNA test results; as Amanda stares at a photo of Fey and wishes she'd gotten to know her mother better, Marc points out that Amanda should get to know Fey's estate better, Amanda tells him she should be learning about any potential riches if she inherits them. That day at the reception desk, Amanda gets a visit from Fey's lawyer, who tells her that the bulk of Fey's stuff was auctioned off for charity after her death...except for Fey's beloved dog, Halston. Amanda wants none of him. On, Amanda gets a visit from Nick, who hates the way Halston smells, prompting Amanda to counter that when he's eighty-four, he'll smell like Halston, too.
As Amanda is bragging about her caregiving fee, Halston falls right over. Afterwards, Amanda enters and bemoans the fact that Halston is sick and she has to be a caregiver, saying that it's like she'd be better off getting rid of him, so Amanda and Marc take Halston to the pound, but once they realize how gross the place is, Amanda can't bear to give the dog away, she tells Halston that he may be mangy and disgusting, but he's the only connection she has to her mother, so she decides to keep the dog.

Justin is excited that he gets to go to the shoot, but gets sad when he says that he can't wait to tell his dad pauses after mentioning it. Marc tells Justin, that it's okay to be happy, to enjoy the fact that he did a great job today. On his way home listening to Shakira on his iPod, Justin spots the rice cakes in the same convenience store where Santos was killed; the clerk recognizes Justin, tells him that Santos saved his life and was a hero and that he was a good man, that Justin must be just like him, but Justin says that no, he's not, leaves. As Justin returns home, Hilda tells Justin to pick one thing of Santos' that he loves, settles on a basketball.
