تَبْدُو it appears
A present-tense verb 'it appears' with the feminine 'it' subject built in, the sky understood from context. The present form marks the appearing as a recurring, habitual event.

فَتَبْدُو then it appears
The fa- here chains the next event onto the result, 'and then', moving from the inner cause to its visible effect. The verb is present-tense with its subject carried inside the form, so 'it appears' is one word, and the connector marks this appearing as following from what came before.
وإن كان الذي يبدو عليه في الدنيا إنما هو عمله لا سريرته فيوم القيامة تبدو عليه سريرته ويكون الحكم والظهور لها
If what appears about someone in this world is only his deeds and not his inner self, then on the Day of Resurrection his inner self will be revealed and the judgment and manifestation will be for it.
تَبْدُو will appear
A present-tense verb 'will appear', carrying its feminine subject inside its form, since the inner self that follows is grammatically feminine. The verb describes the disclosure that the Day brings, and its shape agrees in gender with that delayed subject.
