Her friendship with Sadie (Molly Tarlov) when they were both in New York for school gave her a taste of the life where things could be better and she adopted that persona after meeting Patrick (Justin Prentice) when she headed back to Palos Hills, but Tamara's (Jillian Rose Reed) lies could start to catch up with her on Awkward.

Things have been moving along well with her and Patrick, who is a very rich guy from New York who thinks she is much wealthier than she really is, and mistakenly believed she was a member of the Palos Hills Country Club and not someone who was working there to make extra cash. Tamara has yet to correct him and admit to her real financial status, but she may finally feel compelled to be more honest after he insists on taking her to start meeting some of his friends, and she realizes just how out of her element she is.

"I want you to meet Siggy, Boots and Tinsley," Patrick says as he brings Tamara to the girls in a preview clip for the Tuesday, May 3 episode. "Guys, this is Tamara."

The exchange starts off uncomfortable, forcing Patrick to try and break the ice for them all, but his explaining eventually winds up making things even more awkward for his new girlfriend.

"Alright, well you all have a ton in common. Tamara has a place in the village," he says.

"Cute," the girls reply.

"She goes to NYU," he adds.

"Cute," they reply again.

"And she's crushing it at her job. She works at IdeaBin," he says.

"Cute<" they reply with less enthusiasm.

After he goes off to meet with one of his own friends, the girls then question Tamara about why she would have a job, forcing her to admit it's an internship, and proving to her that these girls have no concept about the kind of life she actually lives.

"Oh, it's not a job, job. It's an unpaid internship. It's like, yeah, thanks, mom and dad. Could you imagine working for a living?" Tamara says.

"Like, actually...no," the girls said.

Awkward airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on MTV.
