An Ugly Betty Death? A Departure?
November 13, 2009 by Tom
It looks like the promo for tonight’s episode of Ugly Betty didn’t give any clue about the big stuff that will be happening on tonight’s episode (4.06, Backseat Betty). EW’s Ausiello gives tonight’s episode mucho amor, then gives us some cryptic spoilers.
It looks like, based on what’s being said by Ausiello and at AfterElton, this is going to be an excellent episode, keeping par with what has already an excellent season. Low ratings or not, I’m starting to see buzz about Ugly Betty that I haven’t seen in a couple of seasons.
Anyway, according to Ausiello, it looks like tonight:
- “CSI: Miami’s Adam Rodriguez kicks off his multi-episode arc as Hilda’s bad-boy ex and promptly finds himself embroiled in a love triangle with the sisters Suarez. One minute into his debut, and I couldn’t believe Miami let this guy go.” Even though a (hopefully short-lived) love triangle is not what many of us want to see, I like the sibling rivalry aspect of it, and Adam Rodriguez is very good, so he will add some spice to the show.
- “An embarrassing-turned-empowering incident at school leads to a major turning point in the ongoing saga of Justin’s sexuality that is alternately shocking and heartbreaking.” Hmmmm. All indications to me are that Justin will all but come out this episode. “Embarrassing-turned-empowering” almost sounds like some of the things Betty went through early in season 1. I expect the writers to handle this brilliantly. Brent Hartinger of AfterElton puts it this way: “Finally, Justin does answer the question, "Are you gay?" and it is — and isn’t — the answer you think.”
Some interesting spoilers after the jump…
- A significant character dies. I think.” – HUH??? This is the first I’ve heard of this. “Significant” probably means recurring or guest star. I know it’s not Archie because he is going to be in the Bahamas episode. And they wouldn’t dare kill of Nico. Or would they? Is it Natalie? I know there’s at least one more Community of the Phoenix episode, but I don’t know if Natalie is a part of it. Regardless, they’re killing someone off this early in the season???? Wow!
- Mode is rocked by news of an OMG departure. – My first guess (and hope) is that it would be Marc. Another possibility? Wilhelmina (again). Long shot: Amanda. I don’t think it’s Matt, or Cal, or Claire, or Daniel. Of course, just by saying that, I’ve guaranteed that it’s going to be one of them.
Regardless, after all I’ve read about this episode, I’m pretty excited to see it!

I think Cal is going to die.
Claire wants to find out more about the adoption, and he doesn’t. His death could make her more determined to find her adopted child.
I’m not sure who will be leaving, maybe Amanda? But I doubt that..its going to be interesting.
Such good writing this series, lets hope ABC see’s its potential and moves it to Wednesdays
Maybe Fey Sommers?
My guesses:
Wilhelmina`s departure from Mode
Nico`s actual boyfriend`s death
Justin`s declaration- although I don’t imagine he would say he is gay.
OH NO, NO NO NO, I JUST FREAKING HOPE AMANDA DOESN’T LEAVE MODE!
Bia, this is JUST IMPOSSIBLE.
Don’t you worry. Amanda is part of the Mode Universe. I believe she would only leave only when the show ends.
I still hope for one ARRIVAL: Fey Sommers.
Another Great “betty”. Someone dies? wow……I have not heard about anyone leaving, but keeps things buzzing.
Thanks “Ugly Betty” you make my week!
There is no way Conner is dead.lol.He and Willie have unfinished business and the writers wouldn’t wrap it up like this.Its one of the most intruguing plots this season.
I wont give anything away, but this was such an amazing episode!!!!!! lots of plot twists and sweet moments… i cant wait for the next episodes!
I also wonder if Connor is really dead. It feels like Willie and him have a lot of unfinished business. But then again maybe that’s the point? If Willie got back with Connor that would probably mean she’d have to leave the show, which she clearly isn’t doing. I just feel really bad for her being betrayed by her own daughter (unbeknownst to her), and losing Connor. Vanessa Williams did a beautiful job as usual when she broke down. It was so sad.
I saw the episode..It was great as usual and I think Justin is in denial.
He might be in denial. He is only a teenager. His sexuality might not have showned up to himself.
i wonder how they are going to write Willie back into Mode? I second that no way connor is dead, that’s too easy.
