Ugly Betty: Justin Comes Out!

Just last night, I enjoyed a second viewing of this Wednesday's Ugly Betty episode which was highlighted by Justin (Mark Indelicato) coming out to his family by dancing with his boyfriend Austin at his mother’s wedding. It was so, so sweet!

Justin’s family looked on lovingly and allowed the teenager to come out on his own terms. It was in contrast to an earlier scene where the family found out about Austin through Hilda’s fiance, Bobby, who had seen the two boys kissing.

Hilda calls Betty and says excitedly: “Betty! Justin’s got a boyfriend!” The family then plans a surprise coming out party: “This one of the most important things that will ever happen to Justin and he needs to know that we accept him.”

Ignacio excitedly shows Betty the “starter kit” with info on PFLAG and GSLEN. (Sometimes I wonder about Ignacio himself, 'cause he's always so "gay" on the show.)

Anyway...Mark (Michael Urie) bursts in and tells them Justin might not be ready and says to the Suarez clan that Justin will come out when he comes out.

The episode also featured the return of Henry (Christopher Gorham) which is always such a treat.

But Henry and Betty both realize that the timing is not right for them to resume their relationship after Henry gets a job and is returning to New York. But they are going to remain friends. It is Daniel who Betty might have a future with at this point as he begins to finally realize that Betty really is his true love.

It was also fun to see Mark set up with a soap actor played by Bryan Batt who may end up being Amanda’s father!

But the final scene with Wilhelmina, Claire and Tyler (Neal Bledsoe) is one cliffhanger which we will never forget. Especially the look on Wilhelmina's face when Tyler pull the trigger to the gun he took from her home.

Who was shot? Well, we will have to watch next week's final episode of Ugly Betty to find out. I think it was Wilhelmina...but she's probably not dead!
