History[]
Season 13[]
Seeing a gloomy Bobby Hill sitting alone, Bethany recommended to Terry that they take advantage of him to turn him into one of their "projects." Specifically, the women wanted to turn Bobby into their slave who would do tasks for them and be their playtoy. Walking up to Bobby, she sat down next to him on the bench outside the Tom Landry Middle School building. Bethany touched Bobby's face and slyly told him not to be sad. Confused at first, Bobby wondered why honor students like them wanted to hang out with him, and they claimed that it was because he was really cute. At lunch, Bethany and the girls again complimented Bobby's cuteness repeatedly, and they even agreed to go on a date with him to a fancy mall. The next day, the girls arrived at the Hill residence to pick up Bobby, who agreed to sit behind Decca as she drove him to the mall on her bike.
Realizing that the girls were exploiting Bobby, Hank confronted Bobby about the matter when the girls visited his house to play video games, even ordering Bobby to get a soda can for them. Although Hank tried to tell Bobby that he was destroying his self-respect by letting the women treat him horribly, Bobby only replied that he enjoyed their compliments toward himself, not listening to Hank's advice. The next time that they hung out at the mall, Bethany informed Bobby that she and the girls wanted to give him a makeover, which he allowed to do. The women also agreed to go to the homecoming dance with Bobby, pleasing him. On the night of the dance, Bethany and the girls went to Bobby's bedroom window, convincing him to ditch his punishment of being grounded to come with them. She also explained to Bobby that they were not actually planning on going to the dance, but rather going "under the bleachers" at the football game to meet older men.
At the bleachers, Bobby felt uncomfortable about being around the truant and underage-drinking high school kids throughout the area. When Bobby expressed his hesitancy about the plan, the girls clarified that Bobby was merely their plaything and that they were actually attracted to high school men, disheartening Bobby. Also feeling uncomfortable, the women tried to leave but were flirted with by Randall and another man. Intervening despite their betrayal of him, Bobby ordered the girls to run while he would take a beating from the men. Impressed by his bravery, the two men complimented Bobby and told the girls that they should not have taken Bobby's good character for granted. Bobby then angrily told the girls that he would escort them out of the area, but the annoyed girls sneered and responded that they were leaving anyway.
