Betty's Dress

Betty's Dress is the third episode of Bob&Betty. It originally aired as the third episode of the first season.

Plot
At breakfast, Bob, finding himself alone with Juliet for the first time since she moved in, attempts to strike up a conversation, but the pair find they have nothing to talk about. Just then, Betty arrives wearing an elegant red dress that she has sneaked home from her drama group. Despite it not being hers, she insists upon wearing it, hastily making the excuse that she needs to get into character for her play.

Whilst out shopping, Betty and her dress are spotted by her arch enemies, the Veronaville Ladies, who mistakenly believe that she has left Bob and married a richer man - and promptly invite themselves to dinner at her new manor house. Thankfully, Juliet has recently started working at such a house, looking after the dog whilst the owner is on holiday, so Betty decides to host the dinner party there, giving Bob the task of keeping Juliet distracted so that she doesn't find out.

Unable to think of any means of keeping Juliet busy, Bob first pretends that Brandi is having a fashion disaster, then resorts to dancing in his underwear, claiming that he wants to take it up as a profession. Meanwhile at the manor house, Betty's party takes a turn for the worse when the dog Juliet was supposed to be feeding comes after Betty and her guests. Later, Betty admits to Bob that she enjoyed her brief spell as a fancy bird, to which Bob responds that she'll always be a fancy bird to him.
