Ugly Betty Preview: Blackout

I remember years ago when a good chunk of the northeast part of the country had a blackout. During the power outage, I was at work in the city and let me tell you, New York City with no power is a strange, strange place (especially at night). It seems this week’s Ugly Betty is about to explore that scenario a bit as a blackout “ups the ante” for everyone. Videos, spoilers and an episode description ahead!

If I’m not mistaken, I believe last week’s promo showed Daniel and Wilhelmina kissing. Like I said, no power in the city is a strange place and I’m thinking only a blackout and perhaps some time trapped in an elevator could bring on such a disturbing occurance. Below’s ABC’s episode description and further down are a couple of video clips.

““Blackout!” – Betty tries to be neighborly by planning a karaoke party in her apartment building, but before the big day, her building is robbed, and it’s partly her fault. Marc is distraught since he lost something irreplaceable in the theft. Meanwhile, Daniel and Wilhelmina are back to being at each other’s throats, so Amanda tricks them into attending couples counseling with Dr. Sparks (Frank Whaley), and Ignacio refuses to accept Bobby in Hilda’s life. Then a citywide blackout ups the ante for everyone, on “Ugly Betty,” WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.”

Ugly Betty airs Wednesdays at 10:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
