Here is the promo for Ugly Betty episode 4.06, Backseat Betty.
At first I was thinking the scenes with Adam Rodriguez were going to be a dream sequence, but now I’m not so sure. Betty gets a (fake) tattoo – I guess meeting her schoolgirl crush Bobby has caused her to explore her rebellious side.
I DO, however, think the scene where Betty kisses Bobby might be a dream/fantasy sequence, because it happens in a school (although it isn’t “high school Betty” in the scene, it’s Ugly Betty season 4 Betty). But then again, Bobby is a teacher (which makes it weird that Ignacio calls him a thug).
I take it the Camaro is Bobby’s – as far as I remember, Betty doesn’t have a car.
In a way, this reminds me of episode 2.12, Odor in The Court, where Betty went a little insane and virtually attacked Henry on the way to the elevator. THAT was a good episode. This one promises to be in that vein – especially with brain freeze and shirt ripping.
However, I think ABC may be toying with us again through the promos, just like they did with episode 4.05, Plus None. I’m wondering if Bobby may have more of an impact on Hilda – from the synopsis:
Hilda’s bad-boy high school flame and Betty’s schoolgirl crush — Bobby Talercio (Adam Rodriguez) — teaches at Justin’s school, causing the sisters to both doubt their feelings for “nice guys” such as Archie (Ralph Macchio), in Hilda’s case.
I’m HOPING Hilda will have doubts, then discover that she loves Archie. They are too good together.
Also, it’s not in the promo, but this part of the synopsis looks to be the most interesting part of the episode:
Justin struggles to fit in at high school, and Marc advises him to befriend the mean girl-type cheerleaders, including Ava (Bonnie Dennison).
Awesome. I think this episode is going to be hilarious from beginning to end.

this reminded me of Ally McBeal, where she lost her control and had sex with a stranger hot guy in the car wash. That was just totally out of character.
Betty getting a tattoo would be her maturity stepping backwards. Com’on, she is an EDITOR, and now displaying a Hot Stuff tattoo? Have feelings for bad boys is all too common, but tattoos? How professional is that? Is she taking this editor job seriously or not?
